Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)

[lostinarink]

Jim Ignitowski scares the hell out of me when it comes to the cap especially if this team ever gets competitive again under his watch . Think of it like the dude managing his paycheque every two weeks . He has to make 2000$ last for fourteen days . So he makes his mortgage payment which he's already behind on and pays his cell phone bill. He ignores his home phone bill and the hydro while making a meager payment to Terasen gas. He spends 100$ on groceries for his family and puts 20$ in his Yugo . Then he proceeds to the liquor store where he buys a couple flats of Lucky and a case of royal red . Stops by Rummys for an eight ball and his cheque is gone . Sure he gets pissed all weekend and end up with purple teeth and a bloody nose but he has no money for the next 11 days . He has done this repeatedly over the years but some people are gullible enough to think he will actually change his habits in the future . He can't and neither can Iggy . Hopefully he doesn't saddle this team with too many royal reds ( Sutter, Miller , Dorsett) or lucky lagers ( Sbisa) for when the next guy comes in .

Luca is among the very worst and among a few garbage contracts handed out by Iggy .

Good point Blob and one which the Jim Benning cock chomping gang can't seem to fathom . It isn't JUST the Sbisa contract that raises red flags about this mans ability to navigate a salary cap. There are just as many NTC as when Eye Bags was here and for all intents and purposes Luca may as well have one .

Jesus Blob. The Dude is playing you man. Stop reacting cause you are starting to take it for real. I get it. I am a serious person as well but not on the Dude. On the other hand, without the two of you going at it there would not be much action on the site. Also, I think you owe Rummy an apology for putting him on Front street.

By the way. If you want to meet me I will be in Van from 9/28-10/12. This goes for anybody on the site as I would love to meet some of the people I have been reading for years. I will post a date for being at the Princeton a week before I come. Hope some of you show as I will buy the beer.

LOL. aaaaaaanyways...


The Blackhawks have traded Kris Versteek and Joakim Nordstrom and a 3rd rounder in 2017 to Carolina for d-men Dennis Robertson, Jake Massie and a 5th rounder in 2017.

Cap dump for Chicago, ridding Versteeg's $4.4M cap hit, putting them $2.43M under the cap.

Robertson, a 24-year-old native of Fort Saint John, B.C., scored 17 points over 57 games in his first full pro season with the AHL Charlotte Checkers last season.

Massie, 18, recorded 11 points in 14 games with the Boston Jr. Bruins U18 and 20 points in 35 games with Kimball Union Academy.

Caps sign Derek Roy to PTO.

NHL to employee concussion spotters at every game who will have the ability to inform the NHL if they feel a player needs to be help out pending further evaluation. Great move.

[KeyserSoze]

Why they are not also employing shoulder spotters in every rink is beyond me.

[BladesofSteel]

Baby steps Keyser, that would be a huge responsibility for the league to shoulder in one season.

Yeah, it's not like they could just rotate these assessors off the cuff.

[Strangelove]

IN, you are as humerus as Cliff Clavicle from Cheers!

[BladesofSteel]

I can see you are all having a ball, but seriously, put a socket in it.

You are all a pack of deltoids...
