The leaves have set themselves up nicely. 4.5 million for Kadri, 5 million for Rielly. All through their prime years. Great start @ cap management.

Is this your way of admitting Mr Andersen is overpaid?

Six years is alotta term for a Nazi 'Party Animal' Kadri.

(won't be long now...)

Rielly's contract might turn out to be okay for your Leaves.

Horton is on the books for 4 more years @ $5.3M.

(put him on LTIR and all bonuses to young players are applied to the following season's cap)

Same deal with Lupul's $5.25M this year and next.

Signing Martin this past summer to $2.5 X 4 years was dumb.

Leaves will be paying $1.2M of Kessel's salary for another 6 years.

Next year, for not playing with the team, Gleason gets $1.33M and Cowen gets $750K.

All of that counting towards the cap.

But hey if you're happy, that's the main thing!

Read my post again: THAT is the problem!

He's a crappy 4th liner = bad contract for 4 years.

Well next season he moves up to 16th:

So he will earn a Number One salary for 5 years... but he hasn't proven he is worthy of that.

The Leaves will suck forever and ever amen.

Hopefully he doesn't wind up like Marek Svatos.

Wonder if Mitchell's rookie numbers would be better with Crosby or Malkin as his centre?

You guys would be delighted with Connor Brown as your top rookie. He is playing very good and is on pace for 20+ goals. On the leaves, he's the 4th highest scoring rookie and 5th best overall.
There's no organization right now with as bright a future as the leaves.

What aging UFA will your ownership demand the GM sign in July to try to fool Canuck fans into thinking the team is a contender?

The Edmonton Oilers come to mind.

A team with 3-4 top draft picks, all in the line-up withing 2-3 years of each other. Nothing for leadership or grit on the blueline, and a revolving door of unproven goaltending where the next guy up was gonna be the saviour in the crease.

That turned out well.
