			<description><![CDATA[ Aw I would have much preferred a comparison like: Again agreed, and the NHL Gm's have painted themself in a really bad corner by handing out NTC faster than Garrioch finishes a buffet table. Buffet tables and Garrioch has been beaten to death more often than Tookie beats his own... And hookers and blowjobs hasnt... Atleast mine makes fun of a douchebag and keeps it clean for the young one's in here...or old prude's...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I agree with your sentiment, but in fact he can provide a list of one team if he wants. That's what a NTC means. Or he can play in Columbus. This notion of "well if the player asks for a trade it should void his NTC/NMC" is silly (from a legal point of view). Asking to be traded is not part of a contract or formally documented - it's just a player expressing his desire to GTFO. It has no impact on the contract at all. Thanks Hax but I'm well aware of what the NTC means and I also don't think that asking for a trade should nullify his NTC either. All I'm saying is if Nash truly wants out of Columbus, and he actually cares about helping them rebuild, he's going to have to be willing to expand his list. Otherwise Howsen is within his rights to just sit back and wait for better offers, and if the offers don't come, Nash will have to report to training camp in September. Most of that wasn't directed at you but other posts I've seen on NTC in general.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[agreed also, and if he really wants out he can easily dictate that At the same time, I'm sure Howsen told him he could get something done, and if Nash budges now and tells Howsen "get me a deal by Aug 1st, if not then I'll expand" well you know Howsen will just wait it out and hammer up the prices because thats all hes done up to this point Nash is literally effed at this point, and his only bluff would be to tell Howsen he is perfectly fine returning if he can't get a deal with the 6 teams on the list. Howsen will then look at all the offers and realize damn, all those pieces would really help the rebuild and with Nash playing it may weaken my ability to get mackinnon I truly believe Howsen will cave just for that fact alone, and Nash knows this]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Oh yeah it's definitely different from the Heatley situation. I can't blame Nash for wanting out of Columbus, but he can't handcuff the team by providing a list of only 6 teams. I think a ten team list is fair for both parties.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Agreed and it also begins at the contract stage also handing out NTC. But something must be said about "why" these players feel they can get away with such a short list. Precedence shows it works (Heatley), GMS are probably telling them they can make something happen. And Agents are probably pushing this as well. The fact Howsen came out and said Nash asked for a trade if Columbus will be rebuilding, tells me Howsen is not afraid of verbal diarhea. I bet you Howsen asked Nash to break his NTC and give him a small list, which he did. To me this situation is different than heatley simply because Nash doesn't want to be a part of a rebuild that he went through twice already with the franchise. IF anything, yes they do owe it to him to get him out of there. 10 team list? sure But in the end its the Gm's fault. Hell if I'm Howsen and want to end this. Trade Nash for Pavelski and Clowe (Upcoming UFA) Then go and dump clowe at deadline. You can potentially get a high pick and prospect then.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Dont know about you but NYR, BOS and PIT have a much better chance than OTT. Probably so Tookie, but Ottawa + Nash would have been able to challenge for a division title. We would have been able to roll with the big boys in the east for sure.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I can't blame Howson for taking a hard stance in these trade negotiations. He should hold on to Nash until he gets the right deal for the organization. If Nash wants out then he's going to have to expand his list to at least 10 teams. It's a joke that he thinks he can just demand a trade and then expect the organization to trade him to one of 6 teams. I definitely think he should have some say in where he ends up, but 6 teams?! That really handcuffs Howson and the Jackets and gives all the negotiating power to the team that would end up with Nash. Clearly Howson didn't learn a thing from the Heatley/Murray drama. The last thing Howson should have done was made Nash's trade requests public at their trade deadline press conference., just like Murray never should have made Heatley's request public. These Gm's don't do themselves any favors sometimes.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Nash's list of teams that he would accept a trade to is hilarious. They are all considered contenders for sure, but only two of them have the young assets worthwhile for Columbus to deal for. Boston isn't a fit because they would likely have to part with Dougie Hamilton, and include close to 7 or 8 million in players going to Columbus. Detroit doesn't have the top end prospects to make a deal with Columbus. San Jose doesn't have the prospects either, and are unwilling to part with Couture. They are rumored to have offered Pavelski and Clowe for Nash and although they are good players, they don't fit in with a rebuild. Pittsburgh has very little to offer. Philidelphia definitely has the assets with players like Schenn, Couturier, Read, and Simmonds but I wouldn't package those guys for Nash if I'm Philly. Grioux-Schenn-C outurier as their 1-2-3 centers sets them up very nicely for the next decade, and Simmonds had 28 goals this season and will only get better. That leaves the Rangers. They without a doubt have many pieces to work with for a Nash trade, but Howson won't bite until he gets Kreider in a package. I think this saga drags out all summer at the very least, and may continue into the regular season.]]></description>

So you could also get over the floor with Borowiecki instead of Wiercioch by giving O'Brien a small raise. If Alfie retires it's even easier since his cap number would stay and we' have an extra roster spot to fill. And of course it's almost guaranteed that we'll have call-ups for injuries which will add to our cap number (assuming no LTIR - but we'd never put someone on LTIR if it would put us below the floor). In summary: the floor will not be a problem.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Nope. But if you're posting this because you're concerned about reaching the floor this year stop worrying. Any time spent on capgeek completing a 23 man roster and you can see that we'll reach the floor easily (putting Zibby on the main roster helps, plus paying our RFAs what they made last year or a tiny bit more).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Quick question This is on an unpopular subject... Can we sign Alfie to a one year extension/new contract where he gets a signing bonus that is applied to this years cap if it is signed by a certain date To be be clear this is a question I have no idea if any loophole like this would exist So say $4.5m for 2013/14 and a signing bonus of $3m to the cap hit on 2012/13 season]]></description>

Here are some shortcomings: 1)Character shortcoming: He reputedly asked to be moved in 2010 after the booing incident of the playoffs; 2)A lot of points against weaker teams (Islanders, Jets, Jackets) but not a lot against Rangers, Bruins, in other words tighter checking teams 3)Overplayed the puck in the playoffs, there was even one f those drop passes; 4)He's from Tranna and I don't nor will ever trust a Tranna guy; 5)On that topic, he's been seen at a Jays game. Now, we have baseball here in Ottawa so why is he spending time out of the city? Imagine being the CAPTAIN of Ottawa and living in TORONTO in the off-season. 6)Spezza is still new. He's not part of the old group with Neil, Fisher (gone), Phillips, ALfie...and I don't like new kids. At all. NOT TO SAY SPEZZA CAN'T BE A GOOD LEADER. But Toronto Guy + New Guy = doubts until I see a Cup here. Holy Crap man, did Spezza sleep with your wife? Or did he run over your kid with his car...? Like honestly, the fuck did he do to you for you to pour so much hate on the guy?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I disagree. Spezza is far from being "giggles" like he used to be. I've noticed real fire in him last season and leadership and while he's not the same type of leader Alfie is I think he's a good choice to be captain. Not that I'd mind Neiler either, but I think Spezza becomes an even better player if he gets the C and I think Neil actually becomes less of a player since he'd have to dial back the nasty a bit if he wears the C. Just my opinion of course - not being in the room with these guys none of us really know for sure. Disagree with this. Spezza with the "C" spells trouble or even "Choke" with a capital "C". Everyone says he's a leader but really, how much of a leader are you when ALFIE is there, Phillips is there, Neil is there...that isn't a team that belongs to J-Spezz. Now, when HE is the veteran and HE brings a team to the Stanley Cup and HE wins a Cup...then we can talk leadership. Until then, he's as much a leader as those bums on Rideau Street. Leaders win championships or at the very least are in the mix to win them. Giggles has never won at any level... Wow next time post this in the mornign so we have something to talk about all day Do you watch Spezza on the bench? listen to him in the room? Hell he does more interviews than anyone on the team. He is the leader. Alfie has already annointed him as the leader pretty much, by sayng he is ready. Spezza is the vocal leader we all wanted Alfie to be before his magical run in 07. NONE OF US.. know what goes on in the 'room'. Who speaks up or doesn't.]]></description>

If you are going to argue something, argue it with FACTS, not things that come out of your ass. Evander Kane was in Ottawa a week ago... Why? Escapade festival. Like, who in their right mind wouldn't want to see a Jays game over an Ottawa FatCats high school team? I cheer for the Jays because they are the only Canadian team left. This is exactly what is wrong with this fanbase... Unbelievable.]]></description>

Also petersson and dacosta were not invited because they are most likely back home in europe, not worth the effort to bring them over rather than letting them stay there and bulk up.

Nobody played well and Spezza still was our highest point guy. 4, 5, 6) All unaffected, who cares where he goes during the off season, lots of people like the Jays and no we dont have a MLB team in Ottawa, do you even live here?

			<description><![CDATA[ Hell that could be true, Hoffman is similar to Da Costa and Hoffman was by far the best player at dev camp this year. I'm sure he needs more time in Bingo to mature a bit but you might be right. I think Da Costa is one of those guys who just needs a little more experience at the AHL level. He's got skill and loads of talent but needs to work on transitioning it at the NHL level, where players are bigger and faster. When he was sent down, he played very well and showed he's willing to keep learning in the AHL. Signs of a good signing if you ask me.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Somebody's had a few too many Brador's tonight! WTF! Why would you even say something so ignorant? Spezza just had his best year as a complete player. There were times when he put the fucking team on his back and willed them to win. The Stache would double shift him, and then put him on the ice just to win a face off before heading back to the bench to catch his fucking breath! Your unbelievable, tell me where his shortcomings were this year? You can hear the maturity in his voice when he talks up his teammates after a win, or how pissed off, and critical of his own performance after a loss. He shows nothing but respect for his captain and mentor, and has put up with bullshit rumours and criticism of his play from the media and fans for years. Neil is a leader on our team, but Spezza is becoming "The Leader". Praise Alfie, and shut your mouth dumbass! Vial out. Here are some shortcomings: 1)Character shortcoming: He reputedly asked to be moved in 2010 after the booing incident of the playoffs; 2)A lot of points against weaker teams (Islanders, Jets, Jackets) but not a lot against Rangers, Bruins, in other words tighter checking teams 3)Overplayed the puck in the playoffs, there was even one f those drop passes; 4)He's from Tranna and I don't nor will ever trust a Tranna guy; 5)On that topic, he's been seen at a Jays game. Now, we have baseball here in Ottawa so why is he spending time out of the city? Imagine being the CAPTAIN of Ottawa and living in TORONTO in the off-season. 6)Spezza is still new. He's not part of the old group with Neil, Fisher (gone), Phillips, ALfie...and I don't like new kids. At all. NOT TO SAY SPEZZA CAN'T BE A GOOD LEADER. But Toronto Guy + New Guy = doubts until I see a Cup here.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Tookie I agree, PP was abysmal But in terms of marketing to Free Agents, I'm pretty sure thats a positive sell? We allow you to be the offensive player that you are Spezza had an interview where he basically said players from the opposing team at the face off circle during TV timeouts would tell him they are jealous of the style of play Maclean endorses]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Don't discredit Da Costa just yet "Tookie". Everyone keeps saying how well Hoffman did down in Bingo by being the leading scorer. Da Costa came in half way through the season and put up 36 points in 46 games. The kid has the best hands I've ever seen in a Sens uni, if he can bulk up a bit and gain some speed he might turn into a great player. Would most likely make the most sense to put him on RW though cuz he's a righty/natural puck distributor. With our depth down the middle it makes the most sense plus I'm not the biggest fan of smallish centreman.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I would argue that no, Greening would not have made the young guns team if he had played his role on the 3rd line, he was a 1st line plug and had much better chances to scor with MM9 and Speza. I dont think it has anything to do with Murray or MacLean on his development. But if you stick to your guns then Greening should be a 20 goal man next year. I do agree MacLean is very open to giving players space and creative freedom but it had its draw backs, our PP for instance, needed structure.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I disagree. Spezza is far from being "giggles" like he used to be. I've noticed real fire in him last season and leadership and while he's not the same type of leader Alfie is I think he's a good choice to be captain. Not that I'd mind Neiler either, but I think Spezza becomes an even better player if he gets the C and I think Neil actually becomes less of a player since he'd have to dial back the nasty a bit if he wears the C. Just my opinion of course - not being in the room with these guys none of us really know for sure. Disagree with this. Spezza with the "C" spells trouble or even "Choke" with a capital "C". Everyone says he's a leader but really, how much of a leader are you when ALFIE is there, Phillips is there, Neil is there...that isn't a team that belongs to J-Spezz. Now, when HE is the veteran and HE brings a team to the Stanley Cup and HE wins a Cup...then we can talk leadership. Until then, he's as much a leader as those bums on Rideau Street. Leaders win championships or at the very least are in the mix to win them. Giggles has never won at any level... Wow next time post this in the mornign so we have something to talk about all day Do you watch Spezza on the bench? listen to him in the room? Hell he does more interviews than anyone on the team. He is the leader. Alfie has already annointed him as the leader pretty much, by sayng he is ready. Spezza is the vocal leader we all wanted Alfie to be before his magical run in 07.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Not intended to be a debby downer but who has Murray or MacLean take as risk and allowed them to develop and blossom?!? None of our prospects have developed a whole lot nor have any blossomed yet. Greening Condra Butler Da Costa Winchester The only one they done it to would be Cowen. Murray did a great job with Karlsson aswell. Not to be taken badly just wondering who you think Murray and MacLean have actually developed & Blossomed. Well karlsson for one I would say look at Spezza's growth last year and ability to play his own skill set If you don't think Greening didn't blossom last year then I don't know what team you were watching. Did you really think Greening would be in the young guns squad for the All-Star Game at the beginning of the year? We have signed and given several college FA a chance at earning a spot in the NHL (Butler/winches ter/Da Costa) Ask any undrafted free agent, all they want is the chance Then throw in Carkner from before Maclean time, as we finally gave him a shot You are confusing blossom and develop in terms of elite talent. I am saying that people recognize that maclean allows players to play to their own skillset For example in NYR Nash will be expected to block shots, dump it in and play defense first. In Ottawa he can play puck posession and loose on offense Thats developing and blossoming]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[excellent post to add to that, before our cup run we were always viewed as the "cockiest" or most "egotistical" team in the NHL. aside from winning the Stanley Cup I think it was rightfully deserved. We had Hossa/Havlat/Ch ara/Speeza/Alfi e/Redden/Heatle y/Hasek/Emery all at one time or another near the top of their game. we were cocky as hell Then we lost, struggled and coaches started going through the grinder quicker than turkeys before thanksgiving. On top of that we have (no direction to any of you) fans that are willing to throw any player under the bus, and are willing to boo players on opening night. Murray and Maclean are quickly earning the reputation of being willing to take risks on players and allow players to grow and blossom. This will travel through the league Our reputation is growing and we should hopefully be able to attract some bigger names so long as we keep winning]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This was touched on a bit in the last post by Sensation, Hax and Apostle. There does seem to be a real genuine sense of excitment from guys like Methot and Latandresse about coming to play for Ottawa. Add in Neil's extension, Alfie's most likely return to the team this year (for peanuts..), homegrown boys like Boro-cop and Ceci in the system, Karlsson's long term lock down (for a hometown discount IMO), and even the "disgruntled" Turris getting out of Phoenix and playing in Ottawa with a huge smile on his face the whole time! These things all add up to enhancing the attraction factor for Ottawa being a great place and a great team to be a part of. Players notice these things and we keep it up and will be alot easier to attract high-end UFAs (for example) in the years ahead. Winning games obviously helps too... You gotta think the Organization took a bit of a reputation beating after the team struggled so much after our Cup Finals appearance in 07', (players and coaches - in and out) and ofcourse that whole summer drama of Dany la douche didnt help either. With the way the team played this year, and all the pieces that are being added and developed, its gotta be putting Ottawa in a more respected view around the league. This is important going forward as the years go by and we look to attract high-end players (ie UFAs and such). As MacLean said this year... "Were building a foundation of winning". Just a clever sounding one liner?....Nope. Its completely accurate and a reality for what this team is doing. We are by no means done being "re-built", but I think this team has done more in 1 year than some other (rebuilding) teams have been able to accomplish in much more time. (Damn, you think Leafs fans hated us before.....)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Very happy with the Neil signing. He is the heart and soul of the team. Spezza will be captain when Alfie retires.. and Neil will get an "A". Still remember that dangle by Spezza in Winnipeg and the pass to Turris. Gord Wilson was on the Team yesterday afternoon in a 'round table'.. that's when he said Turris put on 10 lbs of muscle. As for Nash... well it seems that some Cdn players are more than willing to play FOR their country but not IN their country. Their loss. I think he stays in Columbus.. No team will pay the asking price as it is right now.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ He might be mulling over his qualifying offer? Or even other offers from other teams, he's got all summer to decide to accept or take another offer. Another offer? How many AHL RFAs receive offers from other teams? I don't think Gryba would be a target for that.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ He's an RFA - no rush man. Yes I know, but did one of the sides elect arbitration or are they considering letting him walk? No arbitration, I'm not sure if its a rule but rarely will you ever see a non NHL player elect for arbitration RFA normally get signed throughout the summer. No rush needed. He's been qualified and thats all thats important as of now]]></description>
