It’s not the 1700s anymore or some romantic war movie where people march off to war. There’s drones, surgical strikes from hundreds of miles away and nuclear weapons, countries could be flattened. People need to hold politicians accountable for their lies and intentionally misleading the people. Everything can be fixed in a more civilized manner. You’ve missed the point. The division here comes from within. The principle though remains the same. My apologies, I did miss your point.

Swayman’s agent has stated he is looking for long term , which if true it should come at a discount. Lewis Gross also stated if Players take a discount it comes with full NTC and NMC . The other part is they come in with a firm number and there is little wiggle room .

Some Players dont care much about the teams salary cap, they want their cut of the cake and apparently, Swayman thinks he should get a rather huge chunk of it..Players like Marchand who took discounts for sake of the team, well those players are very few, not many will take a discount for the sake of ising a better team..Swayman isnt like that and his agent makes matters worst..Sweeney cannot just give in to his wishes..

Yes, back to hockey 🙂 I think both parties will settle in with Juuse Saros type money or maybe a tad higher if it’s 8 years. So 7.75 million to 7.9 million. I could be happy with that. As for Pasta and Mac, I don’t think either are overpaid but they certainly didn’t take a discount either.

Not to be overlooked in Swayman’s situation is the good fortune of the cap going up in the most opportune time.

The jury is still out on this trade. I don't think it's a stretch to say Ottawa "won" the trade if we are talking about the here and now but lots could change on this. I think there is a decent chance Ullmark has a down year and chooses not to sign in Ottawa - basically meaning Ottawa got jack shit.

Let's see how both the goalies fare W/different teams in front of them. Ully wasn't that great W/Sabres. Not saying he's not that good but like I used to tell my ex team mates when the razzed me was "Hey they got through you 5 guys to get to me & more often then not I bailed your asses out 🤪🏒 " We had a lot of fun, won a lot of games & some championships too!

Ullmark played well here, earned his contract and was a great teammate. Big strong guy with good fundamentals. Time will tell, don’t anticipate a drop off in his play. The end result will depend on if they hit on the draft pick or not.

I'm in agreement with your opinions also, especoially Ory's...Ully and Sway were both awesome in front of a good defensive foundation, big question is how he fares on a team not so good on defense..Ottawa was I believe last or close to last in goals against, be sure that wasnt all on their goaltending..
When this trade went down, most of us stated it would depend on what we got with the 25th pick..It'll likely take at least 2 years to have any indication of that..If Kastilic can be a player similar to Brazeau only younger, even if he makes team, he might be the wildcard of the trade, I mean its possible right? Of course how Ullmark fares and IF he resigns which I highl;y doubt..IF he dont resign, Bruins win??

We saw Ullmark in net with a porous D in Buffalo , it will a little better in Ottawa this year and with the changes in management and Coaches . The Yutes also have another year of losing under their belts if nothing else they should be getting sick of it by now .
One of those two teams will make the Playoffs this year which is it ?

No offence but I’m thinking neither of them. I think Boston, Florida, Tampa and Toronto for our Division and NYR, Carolina, New Jersey and Washington. Outside chance for the NYI. Ottawa, Buffalo, Detroit and Montreal are going to be improved but still not good enough I think.

I think Tampa is the bubble team

Says a lot about Emery that he stands in there trying to scrap Peters. Can't imagine seeing a goalie fight another tough guy like that in today's game!

Dylan Larkin doesn’t crack that lineup? Ton of centers on there but Larkin should there I think. The US team is going to be deep on D and strong in net as well.
