    This. Yzerman will be damn sure he's getting a good deal, and not get crazy-stoopid like some GMs (Chiarelli).

    Yup - for it to happen Lou will have to move a player, or two by the start of the season to be cap compliant.

    Rumors Thread

    I hope it happens...Lou going in with no lube Thing is though...Would Marner even 'want' to play for the Isles? Wouldn't it be funny if he signs the offer sheet thinking his beloved Maple Leafs would match, and then they don't..... EDIT - looking at the NYI cap - it appears that they only have roughly $8.6 million to play with (from the looks of it there's no LTIR $$$ to be had as well)...Hardly enough to entice Marner away from T.O.

    A guy on HF boards made a good point...Apparently both Hyman, and Dermott will be out for some time, and will start the season on LTIR...That'll open up approx $3.1 million to spend. So...I'm guessing Dubas can offer $10 to $11 million per season to Marner, but that'll probably mean Dubas will have to move a roster player, and/or keep the injured guys on LTIR for a significant portion of the season.

    Alex - I'll take an offer sheet for $10.5 million...

    Is Dubas trying to 'limit' how much $$$ Marner gets by signing others before him? I understand the need to add some depth to their roster (especially on D), but after everything is said, and done - will Dubas even have $9 million to offer?

    Sorta surprised to see Gardiner still on the market...Either he's damaged goods (rumors of back issues), and/or he's asking way too much $$$, and term.

    Jake 'Game 7" Gardiner is still available...I'm honestly surprised.

  11. I'm interested in seeing what former Spartan - now Red Wing - Taro Hirose can do with a full season. Saw him play live last March at the LCA...Gotta say he's really sharp...Could be a 50 plus pts in 82 game season.
  12. IMHO - Daley is the one who needs to earn a spot...Guy looked worse than Kronwall...Getting old sucks monkey nutz...I'm all in for the youth getting their chance.

    2 year deal apparently...If that means a butt plug like Abdelkader sits in the press box - that'll make me happy.

    I honestly never bought into the idea of him playing for the NYI. Who in their right mind wants to split both home games, and practices in a handful of facilities? At least the Rags come across as a classy organization.

    I noticed that too, but it's not getting counted in by the website. Even then - Marner will eat up a good portion of that $12 million, and their D will still have holes.
