			<description><![CDATA[I wouldn't sell the farm but in saying that I do believe the Sens do owe it to Alfie to try and get him a cup with this team. Only thing I would do is trade for Corey Perry. I would trade Z-Bad, Greening, and either Puempel or Bishop. Then I would ice this line up Perry-Spezza-9M M Silfverberg-Tur ris-Alfie Stone-Smith-Nie l GL-Regin-Condra Karlsson-Goncha r Phillips-Cowen Gybra-Lundin]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I still think the sniper to play on Spezza's wing is currently playing 2nd center with the SENS. Turris has a wicked shot and can play the wing. He's more of a finisher than a set up guy. Let him use that shot. That's why I propsed above in this post that we trade for Stastny to play 2nd center(I felt I needed to explain my move). I also find it weird that we still sprinkle in Condra-O'Brien' and Daugavins in our 3rd and 4th lines - if that is still the case we won't be very competitive. Here were the lines as I saw them Michalek-Spezza -Turris Alfie-Stastny-S ilfverberg Latendresse-Reg in-Zibby Greening-Smith- Neil No weak links in that lineup and all four lines have grit and scoring ability. Just roll the lines Stache!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[For the 4th million time. NOESEN AND PUEMPEL CANT PLAY FOR BINGO. They are still under20 and juniour elegible. I am hoping Bingo makes the playoffs and goes deep because they could call up our OHL players when their season ends to help them out like they did with Cowen. The players also get valuable pro experience going into next summer. But seeing how Puempel is with Kitchner now, they are one of the favorites and as well as the Whalers for Noesen if he could stay healthy in the postseason, not sure about the 67s though.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well with 5M under the cap & current CBA nego going. I'm guessing that we'll be alright to start the season over the cap minimum. What i would do though is go see Phenix, ask for my Rundblad + 2nd round pick for my first rounder this year. And negotiate from there on since they would likely want me to remove that 2nd round pick lol Then i would sit down with him to make sure that he doesn't hold any grudges and explain in a friendly way that we liked him so much that we traded a second time to get him back. Boost up player moral !! Phenix has no use for him with the upcoming D talent they have. I'd much rather he plays in Ottawa or Bingo. Once Gonchar leaves at the end of the season, David would have developed a full year and would be ready to take a load off Karlsson with a 1 - 2 combination of pure offensive skill. Puck possession game for Mclean]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ @ Captain Alfie, Bryan Murray tried to get Z.Michalek and his $4 million contract in a trade on July 24th, but GM Ray Shero could not accomodate Murray. Penguins eventually traded him to Coyotes for 3 players. Trading Bishop and Regin might not be enough to get Michalek Same would probably apply in trade for Ryan: Anaheim would want 1 more roster player along with Zibby, Wiercioch, and 2014 1st round pick ! Maybe Greening or Condra ?? So Chirp, this would be my GM move ( which is based on Captain Alfie's reworked trade ) The Projected Lineup above, would be more than adequate, to to take a run at Stanley Cup, one more time for Daniel Alfredsson !!!!!!!!! GO SENS GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As GM for a week I would try to make a run at the cup before I retire without significantly disturbing the rebuild for the future. For my first move I would trade Bishop and Regin for Zbynek Michalek. I would then trade Zibanejad, Wiercioch, and a 2014 1st round pick for Bobby Ryan. Ryan - Spezza - Silfverberg (Oh, Ah) Michalek - Turris - Me Latendresse - Smith - Neil Greening - O'Brien - Condra Karlsson - Methot Cowen - Michalek Phillips - Gonchar Borowiecki Anderson Lehner]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Just re-looked at the last trade of mine and I think you would probably have to add Gonchar and maybe a pick (3rd rounder at least) to get it done, but debating it, I think it might be worth it! Please add those to my last trade]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Here are two players if I were gm I try to get one of them it would hard to get both of them. I am not to make any trade propsals. I would try to get either one of Ryane Clowe or Corey Perry. SJ Sharks may need a major shakeup if they don't make the playoffs this up coming season or are sitting in eigth place come the trade deadline I could see Doug Wilson wanting a dman back in return and I see Ryane Clowe as being offered up as trade bait at the deadline. If the Anaheim Ducks know by the trade deadline that they can't resgin Corey Perry then they have to trade Perry rather then losing Corey Perry for nothing next summer.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[1st is the offer of Methot and 2014 2nd for Voracek. Need for defence is massive in Philly, and they can afford to lose Voracek atm. Next, time to call chicago. Regin, 3rd rounder 2013 and Bishop for Hjalmarsson. I truly feel bishop can be considered expendable, and with their need for goalies, he provides potential while being an excellent back up. Regin offers again, a little potential, and can play his natural center there, while we absorb some more money to shore up our D with what I consider to be an upgrade over Methot. Last one is the big one. With the addition of Voracek, we turn to Anaheim, lovely city it is and find out what Perry is worth, especially iwth one year left. My thoughts are that it would be slimly possible to offer Milan Michalek, a player they really like, Colin Greening and Marc Stone, a solid prospect, with potential blue chip status and Patrick Weircioch for Perry and Fowler. I'm not a big Stone fan, but to get a real threat in Perry (big physical former fifty goal scorer??? OM NOM NOM) and Cam Fowler will be an AMAZING defenceman. We have to give up Weircioch I feel to git him, and MM with still give thim a solid top 6 forward. We may end up regretting it down the road but thats in potential, while I feel Perry is obviously proven and Fowler gives us a player who could be with the team a long time. Line up now looks like this Silfverburg - Spezza - Perry Voracek - Turris - Alfreddson Latendresse - Smith - Neil Daugavins - Obrian - Condra Karlsson - Hjalmarsson Fowler - Cowen Gonchar - Phillips Boroweicki - Lundin Anderson Lehner The top six is a lot more balanced, silfverburg doesnt have to feel as pressured to score, while our defence gets a lot more powerful. All the players acquired are young and will have the oppurtunity to stay with the team in the future.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Let me explain something to you. Havlat isn't great any more. So you wanna trade one of your better prospects (Stone), a good 3rd line player who can log top 6 min (Greening) if needed and a 2nd rounder for a guy who is always hurt, has a 5mil+ cap hit and is over 30??? Wow. Where do I sign if Im SJ. Its a terrible trade, probably one of the worst I have seen written here. Your Chicago trade isn't very good either. Its not about over valuing prospects, its about making logical decisions for now and the future. This isn't one.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You over value prospects. Havlat is better than Stone or Greening ever will be. There is nothing being given up that Ottawa can't afford to lose. Additionally, you have to give to get. Even with those trades we would still have Zibanejad, Noesen, Da Costa, Prince, Hoffman etc in the system. This will likely be Alfredssons last chance at a cup, we owe it to him to stock up for one last run.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Just a quick question, since we retained filatov's rights even though he plays in Russia, would he show up to training camp? Don't think he would make it but I was just wondering. Oh and btw we still have Ilya zubov's rights too, dont know too much about him after he left for Russia but he is only 25. Any chance either can crack the roster in the next few years?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ok, my moves would be as follows: I would trade P.Weircoch, P.Regin and 2014 2nd for N.Leddy I would then make a trade with Philly: To Ott: J.Vorachek, Z.Rinaldo, To Philly: S. Gonchar, C.Greening, S.DaCosta, M.Hoffman (Philly would take this based on there needs on D and lack of depth but desire to acquire Bobby Ryan. They now have more trade bait and comfort certain players). I would then make my tentative lines for camp as: Silfverburg - Spezza - Vorachek Michalek - Turris - Alfie Neil - Smith - Latendresse Condra - O'brien - Rinaldo EX; Daugavins .:Defense:. Karlsson, Methot Leddy, Cowen Lundin, Phillips Boro Stone, MZ would be assigned to Bingo and called up unless they earn a spot out of camp. These moves provide a competitive team now, are cap friendly and build for the future. It also upgrades prospects like Wiercoch into a Nick Leddy. We also keep our 1st round pick for 2013, which is huge given the depth in that draft, all while adding a bonafide top 6 forward (Vorachek). When Alfredsson retires you then have the option to promote from within or sign a UFA. Also, toughness is addressed by adding Zac Rinaldo. You lose Gonchar (who you have no real need for), Regin and Greening but you gain that additional coveted top 6 forward (Vorachek). You lose a few wildcard/unprov en prospects who are hard pressed to win spots (now or in the future) in Weiroch, Hoffman, Da Costa but gain another point producing D-man which are not easy to find (Leddy). Your prospect depth takes a small hit BUT your top-tier prospects (MZ, Silverberg, Boro, Stone, Lehner, Bishop, Gryba, Noesen, Puempel, Prince, and others) remain. So does your 2013 1st rounder.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I am seeing some lopsided trades here (both ways). I'll try to be realistic and provide insight to why I think the trades would improve our team, and why the other teams would also make the trade. Trade 1- Chi: Bishop, Smith and Puempel for Hjalmarsson and Chicago's 2012 2nd Rd Pick Trade 2- SJ: Stone, Greening and Chicago's 2nd Rd Pick for Havlat Chicago is looking for a gritty 3rd line centre and Smith fits the bill. They also have a big question mark in net, and could look to Bishop for the answer. San Jose is rumored to have interest in Doan. They would likely have to clear some space in order to sign him and Greening replaces Havlat's speed while Stone gives them the Blue Chip prospect they desperately lack. Latendress had his most productive season playing with Havlat in Minnesota. Havlat was a fan favourite in Ottawa, and while injuries could be a concern, players like Zibanejad, Prince, Petersson and Hoffman are waiting in the wings for a call up. Hjalmarsson instantly shores up the Senators defense. Having played on a pairing with Karlsson in the World Championships is an added bonus. He also provides some toughness on the back end, which became an area of need with the departure of Carkner. A three way trade could also make for an interesting story. (Havlat was initially traded from Ottawa in a rare 3 way trade between SJ, OTT and CHI, making the story come full circle) 2012/2013 Senators Line-Up: Michalek-Spezza -Alfredsson Latendress-Turr is-Havlat Silfverberg-Reg in-Condra Daugavins-JOB-N eil Anderson Lehner]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I would trade Sergei Gonchar to Philly for Daniel Briere. By doing so, we get our top 6 F we've been looking for, and a local boy. Philly gets its help on its injury-riddled defence. It also brings us slightly closer to the Salary Floor. To replace Gonchar, We would sign Kubina for a $2-3M deal for next season.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ If you're looking for out of the box trades look at mine tell me what you think, comment #88 Actually I like Daley. Good 2nd pairing guy, no real value on the PP though. He's much like Methot, so to me I didn't consider him. If I was going to trade for him, the problem I see here is using Lundin. I just don't see any team taking him in a trade when we signed him as an FA. Including Puempel and a 2nd is good return, but considering what he brings to Dallas I don't see them taking that.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My idea here is sustainability. Acquisitions are done with the intention of adding a player who is arguably on the upswing and could play with us for a number of years. Step one, sign Colaiacovo. - Shores up D and gives us another mobile and puck moving d-man to play with either Methot or Cowen. Gonchar, Wiercoch, Da Costa and 2014 2nd Rounder to Philly for Jason Akeson (Ottawa Boy), and a 2013 First Rounder. Philly is Desperate for D-men right now, but we'd need to sweeten the pot a bit to get their first. Akeson seems like he has some potential, putting up half decent numbers in the AHL last season, and we seem to be stoking up on more local talent. Stone, Latendresse & Philly's First Rounder (or ours) to Winnipeg for Kane. I think Kane could be an outstanding player with talent like Spezza and if he is in fact unhappy in WPG, a package like that could be what they need to let him go. Stone would be an instant hero in WPG, and they're looking for more size and puck possession up front which would make Latendresse really attractive to play with a guy like Wheeler. 1st Line Spezza Kane, Greening 2nd Line Turris Alfie and Michalek 3rd Line Zibby Regin, Silfverburg 4th Line Smith Neil, & other Karlsson Methot Colaiacovo Cowen Lundin Phillips No line on that team would be fun to play against, even the 3rd and 4th lines could put up really decent numbers. I kept Greening on the first line, because- as was recently pointed out in another blog, Greening is currently Ottawa's fastest and strongest player- would be great for creating space for Spezz and Kane to create Magic. I think this is certainly a decent team that would be sustainable for at least 3 years- (who are we going to lose any time soon?) Could theoretically be the building blocks for something exceptional a few years down the road.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I did a little checking around the internet this rainy afternoon.. hey what else does a retired person have to do, right? This is TV revenue alone: MLB - $923M per season (this is from Forbes in March 2012.) They expect that to exceed 1.5 billion/per season in 2015 based on more lucrative contracts some more teams have signed. The following info was from April 2011.. just various websites? NBA - $930M per season NFL - 1.3B per season NHL - 2B over 10 YEARS from NBC/Versus -- works out to about 200M a season + 100M each from TSN & CBC.. so total is 400M. Now how in the hell, with a straight face can Fehr stand up there and start yapping about comparisons to MLB when the TV revenue alone blows the NHL right out of the water. Of course the MLB is happy. With that TV revenue alone they are very wealthy. The players are buying this? They expect the fans to buy into this? Are we that naive?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[someone tell me if my line of thinking is off here; the poorest NFL Franchise is worth more than the richest NHL Franchise yet NHL players think they should be getting paid more, dollar for dollar, than NFL players? Nope, don't think so. I am mainly pissed that the NHL should have been more vocal about this all along and how further recessions would need to be made. At least we could have emotionally prepared for this. Owners have a right to make the most money they can. Even after a 24% reduction last time, NHL players are still paid way more proportionately compared with the value of the franchises that pay them in all pro sports with a salary cap. Of course owners are going to take issue with that. Fact is, the owners should have asked for more the last time but they didnt, for the sake of not losing another year of NHL hockey. But how the owners settle for Gary Bettman is beyond me. He has done a great thing to bring in money via TV contracts the last 5 years but he has pretty much let it all go down the drain propping up franchises in weak markets, at the expense of the other owners. Why do they allow that to happen?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I was really hoping to see some creative GM trades ideas, not just the same old thing. I liked the idea of Gormley as well. There are a lot of great young D who I'd go after but I get the feeling other teams would be after ours like Cowen, EK, even Ceci in return. But that's the fun of it, let the ideas fly I guess. So who else??]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I believe this is in reference to my thoughts on Landeskog for Michalek, Zibanejad the 2013th 2nd round? I thought the same at first, but would be willing to throw in more if needed. Right now I think Landeskog will be one of the best in the NHL in the near future as well as captain material. I'd pay MUCH more than I originally suggested but would never offer that much up front. Damn I wish we would have landed him. So what do you think it WOULD take to get him?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Although I do acknowledge the need for a top six forward, I almost feel that the need for a top 4 Dman is more pressing. This is based off the fact that we finished 4th in the league for goals for and Anderson was solid last year, with the problem seeming to be our defensemen. I would love to pull off a trade along the lines of: OTT: Mike Lundin, Matt Puempel, 2014 2nd round pick for DAL: Trevor Daley I really like the style of play Daley has. He is durable (played 550 of his last possible 574 games), puts up respectable points (last 4 yrs: 25, 27, 22, 25), and is pretty solid defensively. He could pair up very well with Karlsson and I think this would be a significant improvement for our back end.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Sandy, I think your compassion is well placed, and I too feel bad for the little guy that loses his job/spot because the NHL is locked out, but it's not the players going on strike, it's the owners locking them out, so I don't place too much blame on the players personally. The NHL won't even continue under the old CBA they wanted while they negotiate a new one. It's really hard to blame the players this time around.]]></description>

But you see neither side gives a rat's ass for the fans, their non-player employees or other's negatively affected by this... Aren't we all selfish? The beer guy will now have to work at McDonalds, or the ice girls will have to take waitressing jobs. It doesn't matter if you're a multi-millionai re or a low level scrubb, you have the right to make money. If you knock someone out, that's part of life. Nobody is entitled to anything. Life is hard. Get used to it. Ultimately, a lockout breeds few winners. We all can agree to that. But it's the fact that these NHL players are multi-millionai res and those they are replacing are not. I guess I'm one of the few who does have some compassion for this sort of thing.. How foolish of me. No one is (or should be) faulting your compassion - but I just don't think you can blame individual players for playing in other leagues if they're locked out of the NHL.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[RFAs to consider: Kane, Subban, Kulikov, Del Zotto, Blum, Carlsson, Benn Any of these require our 2nd back from ST. Louis, so first order is to trade to get it back. They obviously need D, so either Wiercioch+5th rnd pick for our 2nd OR Gonchar for our 2nd and their 3rd or 4th. I'll assume they take the Gonchar route as they may feel they're on the cusp of being SC competitors after last season. With the pick, I offer sheet E. Kane for the max in the 1st + 2nd + 3rd range (~6.3mil avg) x 10 years. I also send them Condra and Petersson (would consider other lesser prospects/role players) for a 7th and future considerations for them not to match it. Next up is D, and I think Subban is the most likely to be available out of that RFA group. Da Costa + Wiercioch + 2014 1st. This may require another later pick, but I hope I could convince them on this or even adding Borowiecki or Gryba. So we got our top 3 forward, but are now just even at D, requiring 1 more top 4. Puempel and Bishop (+2nd rnd in 2014 if needed) for Yandle. (Would also look into JayBouwmeester if they'll take him for less than that). Enter 2013 with: Kane - Spezza - Silfverburg Michalek - Turris - Alfie Greening - Smith - Neil Latendresse - O'Brien - Regin Daugavins/Hoffm an Cowen - Karlsson Subban - Yandle Phillips - Methot Lundin/Borowiec ki Anderson Lehner Zibanejad and/or Stone are the first callups and would be given the chance to win a spot over Regin, Latendresse and Daugavins. I would have no issue waiving Daugavins at the start of the season and sending him to Bingo if he clears. Still have Ceci, Noesen, Prince in the pipelines as above average talent, so though we're losing a lot of picks the next 2 years, we won't really need that type of prospect for a few years anyways. Critique away! Which deals am I offering too much/too little in?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I'd take a different approach but this would be the basic idea. I'd offer Philly Gonchar (they need D bad) with RW prospect Stone in exchange for Simmonds and a 2013 4th Rd pick (received from Columbus last year). We'd get the rugged 23 year old RW (great for the rebuild) who's a top 6, signed for 6 years. I considered Voracek, but I like the play of Simmonds more and he would be easier to get out of the two. Contact Nashville about Jonathon Blum. Offer Gryba or Wiercioch (Either are ready to start as 3rd pairing, but play 2nd fiddle to Borowiecki) and a 2013 6th rd pick. Offer Smith and a 2014 3rd round to St Lois for Stewart and a 2014 4th rd. Stewart is a guy who has top line potential but lost his way. He could turn it around big in Ottawa. Contact the Flames for the 2013 2nd round pick, provide our recently aquired 2013 4th and 2014 4th rd picks in return along with the rights to Filatov. Then, contact Colorado about Landeskog. Offer Michalek, Zibanejad the 2013th 2nd round. Landeskog - Spezza - Simmonds/Silfve rberg Alfredsson - Turris - Stewart Latendresse - Regin - Condra Greening - O'Brien - Neil Karlsson - Methot Cowen - Phillips Blum - Borowiecki Lundin]]></description>

I would talk to Burke and mention how I want to sign Kovalev that he's such a good player blah blah blah, hope he falls for it and signs him to a three year contract. That takes care of Monday and Tuesday, the next few days I'll sit on my hands and wait for: A) the CBA to be signed so I get a clear idea of what the salary cap will be; and B) Let the prospects battle for the roster spots next year, with the chance of a minor move if the price is right midway through the season. Let the rebuild continue.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[People may not agree with what I'm about to say, which is fine. I'd be there to win games, not fans. I would strongly look at what it would take to pry Iginla out of Calgary. Though he has on numerous occasions reiterated that he has no desire to leave, I find it hard to believe that: A) Jay Feaster (the genious** that he is) would turn down an attractive package and B) Iginla would hate the opportunity to be on Spezza's wing. However, it wouldn't come cheap. My offer would be: Zibanejad Bishop 2 Draft Picks for Iginla --- Then I would go after a solid D man who can fight and play, someone cut from A Sutton's cloth. The guy was a favorite and though prying him out of EDM is nearly impossible as they need someone to protect the youngins, someone similar to him would be appropriate. I'd look at one of our young BSens D as bait there, as well as a pick.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have nothing against Latendresse - but he's NOT a top line winger. Not even when healthy. If we had Hossa on our top line then GL could be the third guy maybe, on his best day. For sure he's an upgrade over Condra or Butler but I would love to see Spezza play with TWO legit top line wingers for a season or two.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[People tend to forget that we had Condra, Greening, Butler, Filatov all rotate throughout the season in our top line, The most painful one was the couple of weeks of watching Spezza trying to make Condra look like a top 6 forward on his line, I became bald from all the hair pulling, Neither Tender or Silfverberg, Stone or Zibby will be as bad as those have been on top line. If Greening can get 17 goals playing with Spezza, The Tender is capable of 25 and more with Spezza (If healthy)]]></description>

It doesn't matter if you're a multi-millionai re or a low level scrubb, you have the right to make money. If you knock someone out, that's part of life. Nobody is entitled to anything. Life is hard. Get used to it. Ultimately, a lockout breeds few winners. We all can agree to that.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ouch. Not that Philly would take on salary anyway, but to me Noesen is completely untouchable. I get that you like Voracek and basically want to dump Gonchar, but I'd rather stick with the bird in the hand than risk this one blowing up in my face if I were GM. Swap in just about any other prospect though and maybe (again, if Philly forgets they have no cap room).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Why not... let me take a stab at this... 1) Take care of someone we already have. Sign an extension for Kyle Turris. Everyone can see the potential of him having a career year next year... get him cheap (or cheaper)and sign him early... 4 years at 15-17M 2) Trade Gonchar, Noesen and a 3rd round pick in 2014 for Jakub Voracek. Philly isnt playing him right (3rd line - should be top 6). He's a guy who would fit the Sens mold great... explosive skater, great vision, very good shot, great pass, very strong defensively (will let Karlsson be even more creative), great work ethic, and his love for the game shows in spades. This is a player coaches love to have PM would relish to have him around. 3) Replace the loss of Gonchar by trading Weiroch, Petersson, and a 4th rounder for Bouwmeester. Like Voracek, JB wasnt played right in Calgary, and his style of play should fit well under PM's style.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Too many fans get dazzled by the dollar signs. Just because someone's salary is 100x your own doesn't mean they're not earning every penny of it. If two people won the lottery and one person took 90% of it even though they split the ticket would the 10% guy not have a right to complain even though they're still getting millions? Same thing goes for sitting at home so scrubs can play in Europe - just because Karlsson already has a big house and nice cars he should stay home and lose a year of his prime earning years? Don't get me wrong, it's a sweet life for NHL stars and I do feel for the scrubs getting pushed aside - but I wouldn't even call it "unfair". Unless you want to say it's unfair that hot girls always go home with the good looking guy, or that smart guys get all the good jobs etc. Survival of the fittest man.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What I find funny is players agrguing that they are not getting their proper cut making millions of dollars a year and if there is a lockout they will play for a fraction of that in some crap euro league... Also, refs are impacted as well. NHL refs will be reffing in lower leagues and will push refs in lower leagues down as well. I have a friend who is a professional ref and he said the last lockout was brutal for them as well]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Not sure what would happen cap wise for that contract but no big deal anyway. The Sens would be far under the cap anyway and at the moment I believe are under the floor or very close to it so leaving Gonchars $5.5M hit without actually having to fork over more money allows Eugene to spend more on taking on a salary like JBo or somehting like that and still be under the cap. Gonchar retiring or playing would be a win win]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ While I feel for the other players, this is a lockout, not a strike. Might be semantics to a degree but basically NHL players are being told they cannot work or collect a paycheck in the NHL - so hard to fault them for wanting to A) play and B) get paid. I see your point, but I just don't think it's fair to blame the players. Their other option is to sit at home and not get paid at all?? Yeah but a lot of them can sit home on their 5M + salaries that they have made in the past. They don't need the money. They can survive financially just fine. I get they want to play hockey.. But they don't give a damn about the European player who makes significantly less than that 5M (as an example)-- but he is expected to sit out -- or in this case.. find himself another job outside of hockey just to pay his rent/mortgage because he is not financially set like those NHL players.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As some kind person told me yesterday contracts get slid for the year of the lock out so if you have 3 years left pre lock out you have 3 years post. So, take Gonchar (and I wish somebody would), at the end of a season long lock out, he would have 1 year left on his deal. What happens if post lock out but before the start of the season he decides to retire? Would the senators still be on the hook for his cap hit because he signed that deal as an over 35 year old? Or would there be special dispensation because his contract should have ended a year earlier than it did.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Off topic.. there was a comment on Facebook under the RSU.. by someone who lives in the same building as Claude Giroux. Giroux told him, he was going to Philly to train and if there is a lockout.. he is going to Switzerland. You know, I have a real problem with these guys going to Europe during a lockout and taking jobs from those players there that make a hell of a lot less than the NHL players. How are those players going to get buy while some arrogant NHL player is playing in their place? If they have a valid NHL contract.. lockout or not.. they should not be going oversees to play there. It's just not right.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I would not waste a top-tier prospect on J-Bo. Decent player but he has a shitty contract. Let's do a prospect for prospect deal if we want a D. I agree to a point. But my thinking is that EK65 still needs a solid veteran to play with to continue his development. So while we may have to give up some youth to get J-Bo it at least helps Karlsson. Not worried about this bad contract since we have plenty of cap space the next two years and then he's gone (or resigned cheaper etc). As per Chirp's outline - money is no object so no need to beg Euge for the money.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Chirp never mentioned when the "1 week" was as per timeline. Obviously mine is before Semin and Carle got signed, would have worked both to the bone to get them to come Ottawa. That is classic Tookie. Clearly Chirp isn't including a time machine in this fantasy GM gig. Care to offer a suggestion if it were next week? (I like your ideas for the time machine option though.)]]></description>
