Ridge, I had intended to totally revamp the reporting. It is something that will be done in the future. However, I do not think that these updates will make it...
I've seen this movie before. In fact, I have seen it the last 10 years prior to the lockout. The Rangers sign these high priced veterans. We (Rangers fans) all...
the mindset over at www.hockeyrodent.com is that JJ will play with gomez and drury should play with shanahan. This puts Matt Cullen on the 3rd line most likely...
TORONTO -- The Toronto Maple Leafs signed winger Jason Blake to a five- year, $20 million contract on Sunday. The 33-year-old unrestricted free agent had a...
Wow.. talk about emptying the cupboards! Smyth, Blake, Zednik, Poti, Kozlov! At least they signed Jon Sim :-) Of course Robert Nilsson and Ryan O'Marra (Who...
yeah tough steve. not to mention that Poti is gone as well as Sean Hill who has a suspension to serve. Those are some major minutes on the blueline to fill. ...
...where we end up having the lockout and only end up with a partial fix. While to a lesser-degree than before, it's looking more and more like the same 'ole,...
Front-loading is irrelevant though. The cap hit per year is the average yearly salary. And I don't think it will be as bleak as you think. Getting rid of...
Not really irrelevant, unfortunately. As a for-instance, the Flyers could trade off Briere in year 6 of his contract when he is making only $4M. Another...
But do you think anyone is going to want to take a $6.5M hit for an offense-only player like Briere at that point in his career? If anyone would it would be a...
I will still take the financial model of the NHL and the NFL over MLB any day. I mean, in the NHL team like Pittsburgh can be putrid only 2 years ago and a...
A scenario like that is doubtful. The trade market is too stagnant for a team to take that sort of hit unless Briere is worth it. Before we indict the cap too...
I pretty much thought that the deals could be attributed to panic in many cases, and foolishness in others. The problem with some of the deals is that these...

One difference from before is the players getting these deals are a little bit younger than those who got them before the lockout - some of them will still be...

Good points. That's why i ALWAYS have done draft league projects in all of my sims that I play. At least I can make things interesting. Like you said, replays...
Given that the ;last times that they opened it were to sign Yashin to that silly 10 year deal and DiPietro to that insane 15 year one.may be this is not such a...
To Barry, Yes Briere might get picked up down the one for a 2nd or 3rd round pick.but he won't command what Forsberg did. Think more Tony Amonte. So they get a...
Keeping Smythe was IMPERATIVE. That is why they decided to buy out Yashins contract and not re-sign Blake.They wanted to use the $$ to keep Smyth. They gave up...
Incidentally I see a typo in my post.I did not mean Gagne scoring "50 again" but "50 range again" as he was at 47 in 05-06 and past 40 again this year.Sorry...
Steve, I can't disagree with you. But I cant; blame the cap system for this anymore than it stopped Washington from a 15 year deal with a goalie.any team that...
