    I haven’t looked into it, do we know why Gru isn’t back in Denver? Sakic put his foot down on paying a goalie that much?

    Don't recreate the scene, or reinvent the meanings Supporter

    To me, it just seems like most teams have a general amount they are willing to pay one or two goalies. Columbus never offered Bob once they realized his agent was starting at a place too high for them.

    I think with the premium on defensive players that can score or drive play, starting centers, and then scoring on the wings, something has to give in the cap world. I think the Blues winning confirmed some things for front offices. Load management and cap percentages just seem to be going away from goalies. Seattle needed to spend somewhere with how they executed the expansion draft.

    yeah pretty much what Michael said...also he has an injury history too I think? GMs are realizing that goaltending is voodoo unless you're Vasilevsky or something

    Yep, forgot to look when tickets launched. Still many seats available for the home opener! Will only cost you a few grand per seat. Cheapest I saw was 2K to sit on a bar stool way up in the middle of nowhere. Almost tempting if it wasn’t a bar stool lmao

    Surely the response to that won’t lead to frightening discourse

    Good signing. Wanted the Canes to get him. Now they really need to trade for Tarasenko

    a #1 DMan in Dougie Hamilton
    A solid top 4 young-ish LHD in Ryan Graves
    one of the better backup goalies in the league in Jonathan Bernier
    A top 6 winger in Tomas Tatar
    A potential future #1 star DMan in Luke Hughes

    all in the span of like, 3 weeks

    Dude, Francis created an entire fucking team! Seattle went from Luke Henman to Vince Dunn, Grubs, Gourde, and a bunch of other players! No one picked up more people than him! That’s crazy! #summeroffrancis

    (I am joking btw)

    I'm excited to go to Devils games.

    I'll still cheer against them, but at least the games will be fun.
