According to capgeek they are 3.6 million over the cap, Boychuk's exact caphit...

I think we'll make a trade for Boychuk before the season starts. Boston has too many defencemen and needs to get under the cap and we have a ton of prospects available. Kronwall - Smith DeKeyser - Boychuk Ericsson - Quincey Kindl

Players with a no-movement clause cannot be taken in an expansion draft, so Datsyuk, Weiss, and Howard would not need to be protected

The wolf pack. Duh

that'll show em

Because no one has put one there yet?

This is very good for us. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/nhl-changes-draft-lottery-rules--punishes-worst-teams-201047155.html

Yea, I wish it were relocation too as the talent level league wide is watered down enough, but I also think the expansion draft will be interesting. This will be the first time a professional sports league with a salary cap has held an expansion draft I believe

At this point the thought of Holland out there trying to swing trade deals makes me queasy.

I'd rather overpay vanek than give up assets for spezza

I cant believe that he was the wings' top pick that year. Pathetic

Did he break his wrist?

Right or wrong, don't ya just kinda see this happening? Like more than any other free agent defenceman, doesn't Boyle seem like the Holland thing to do?

Blake Wheeler, 70 points - Not even worth a 3rd round pickTom Wilson, 10 points - UNTOUCHABLE Makes sense to me!

lol ok.....

It was more of an ideal world roster kind of situation, but we absolutely have the assets to make it happen. I suppose that I would trade Tater, Backman and our 2014 1st for Burns this year, call up Mantha, pulkkinen and marchenko, give all of our young players and Weiss a year to prove themselves, and then trade Nyquist, weiss, athanasiou and our 2015 1st for wheeler next summer.Not sure why everyone got so offended, its not like that roster is impossible to achieve...

Hahaha brutal!

I think a team in Vegas would be awesome

Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Wheeler Jurco-Sheahan-Burns Mantha-Franzen-Pulkkinen Abdelkader-Helm-Callahan Glendening Kronwall-Smith DeKeyser-Niskanen Ericsson-Marchenko Kindl

That's not how it happened. It was absolutely an A or B choice, and Holland went with B

If you don't know that Hossa is a better hockey player and a better value than Franzen, then I really don't know what to tell you. Its not even close.And to the guy that said that Hossa turned down the Wings offer because he wanted to test the market, thats not how it went down at all. Hossa wanted to sign here, and he was willing to do it for less than he ultimately signed with Chicago for. Holland wanted to sign Franzen first, and then he didn't have the cap space to sign Hossa because of Hudler's impending arbitration.

There's a new clown joke going around that I really hope catches on because it is HILARZ!

Hahaha classic!

For the record, we're dangerously close to being a salary floor team ourselves.

Honest question: Is english your second language, or do you have some sort of learning disability? Because if so I would feel just terrible about the opinion that I've formed of you.
