you get a tisk tisk for not noticing what was wrong there right away...

yea, because we're a Mickey Mouse organization like that and that would EVER happen here........

I think the game was suppose to associate something with the number and the player wearing it... this game is fun 11 - Cleary's plus/minus at the end of the year

ok... where the hell does the 7 for Bert come from??? he'll be in 44

13 - the number of sticks per game Datsyuk goes through with all the hacks people take on his stick...

43 - The age Helm makes every other player he skates circles around feel...

ouch... Vancouver just became legit... that D in front of Luongo now?!? there's gonna be some low scoring games in Van this year.... I'm calling it right now - Luongo for the Vezina next season, with a league winning save % and GAA...

we did it all year last year - play Meech for the injured player - if 2 guys go down, someone gets IR'd for at least 10 days and someone is called up from GR to fill... simple as that...

come on... I agree that Iginla doesn't belong on that list, but don't even TRY and put them in the same group, Iginla is Lady Byng worthy compared to Pronger...

you're just flat wrong - even if Lilja NEVER sees one minute of LTIR, dealing Ledba and sending Eaves or Helm down does the job and clears us - use Meech as the swing man... you only need 21 for an NHL roster: FORWARDS Pavel Datsyuk — $6,700,000 Henrik Zetterberg — $6,083,333 Johan Franzen — $3,954,545 Valtteri Filppula — $3,000,000 Daniel Cleary — $2,800,000 Tomas Holmstrom — $2,250,000 Kris Draper — $1,583,333 Jason Williams — $1,500,000 Todd Bertuzzi — $1,500,000 Kirk Maltby — $883,333 Ville Leino — $800,000 Darren Helm — $599,444 DEFENSEMEN Nicklas Lidstrom — $7,450,000 Brian Rafalski — $6,000,000 Brad Stuart — $3,750,000 Niklas Kronwall — $3,000,000 Andreas Lilja — $1,250,000 Jonathan Ericsson — $900,000 Derek Meech — $483,333 GOALTENDERS Chris Osgood — $1,416,666 Jimmy Howard — $716,666 ROSTER SIZE 21 SALARY CAP $56,800,000 PAYROLL $56,620,653 BONUSES $0 CAP SPACE $179,347

and also... where do you even get these numbers? Lilja is going to be LTIR'd and when he's back, Eaves will be sent down and Meech or Lebda dealt... Also, I'd trade Rafalski before Stuart in the wonderful world of make believe where NTC don't exist and he'd be willing to move it... he's almost a 6 mil cap hit and not getting any younger, where Stuart is still in his prime and Kronwall can easily step into that number 2 role, with Ericsson as the 4 and Stuart as the 3, or you can give him some on the job training and put Ericsson with Lidstrom and keep Kronwall and Stuart together... I love how people think in EA sports terms of trades and not real world....

this is the easiest decision of all - HUDLER... if he is dumped back on us... MOVE him...

they deleted one of my posts too... the mods we're feeling very nazi yesterday apparently

that's really only partially right - they do it so they have control, but they ALSO do it, moreso because they don't want to be traded. period. Even if it's a reasonable or even nice move, it still takes it's toll to uproot your family and move again... the NTC is asked for because they don't want to leave. having control is just an additional back up, in case the team is hell bent on moving them, then at least they have their choice of where... and yes, trading Stuart, even in theory, is asinine

exactly.

no, what you were suggesting was wholesale changes and that one of the top 10 players in the league would take approx 2-4 mil less a year to come to a new team, then infusing it with young, unprovens to a team that is STILL IN THE TOP OF THE LEAGUE - that is not what an NHL GM, let alone someone as astute as Holland would do and it's beyond preposterous... this is not a one player move like Bertuzzi or Hossa... and if you're suggesting it's a possibility, you're clearly high.

this. 1000x over. this.

hey nazi mods- why did my reply to this post get deleted?!?!?

I agree... I'm just getting VERY annoyed with people even suggesting it, as it's not only a stupid move, but not even an option.

I audibly laughed out loud at this one as well

well played sir, well played. :beerbuddy:

exactly... he is an AMAZING number 4 d-man and has a... eh hem, let me clear my throat so all the f'in idiots on here that keep posting this BS idea hear me... eh hem... NO TRADE CLAUSE

JUST LET HIM GO!! If he doesn't go and is awarded back here and we're FORCED to carry him - he's traded, guarantee it...

this.

I think he'd get an ok paycheck doing broadcasting and with his personality, could develop into a major network gig... which would not only big a big paycheck.... but a long time paycheck... if he bolts to the KHL for a year or 2, he might not capitalize on the limited broadcasting he did last year...
