What's best out of this is to know that 1) no significant upgrades will happen and 2) Stafford will still be the RW with Vanek and Roy.

This presser has confirmed that the shitiest move by the organization in the last ten years was about nothing more than a cheap ass self-imposed salary cap.

That sounds good, but that leaves who on the first line with Van and Roy?

I thought Ennis would be on their line. Keep Hecht with Tim and Pom, or switch him in and out with Gerbe. Nieds, Goose and Grier on the 3rd.


Did Stafford disappear or are you just assuming that he gets moved?

I assumed that he wouldn't be on the first line, but then again I -brainfarted-

The fact remains they're still over The Lawrence's Budget, so why not add the 667K back in and keep BOTH

I just assumed he would be in the press box all season unless he drinks some majick juju juice that makes him not be such a pussy.

Because I've been saying all along it's Quinn that's behind this.

sad part is, if stafford cared half as much about hockey and he does music, he'd be an extremely solid player. until then he deserves the pressbox.

Well this move is fucked but really not a big deal. Before Kenneday was signed and everyone was making lines, none of them included Kenneday as he wasn't signed yet. And most people agreed that the lines without Kennedy could make the playoffs. Now we have added a solid defenceman to that roster. A defensive defenceman who has been playing in an up tempo system the last couple of years. I can really see Morrison playing well here.

He's got a good attitude. Not quite John Madden, but still.

The big deal is not about Kennedy the player.

The big deal is finding out we're back to nickle and diming on players and not being committed to a championship.

EH, the problem is the bigger picture. They are clinging so tight to a self-imposed cap that they're willing to buyout a young player with potential and PR value over a measley f-ing 700k at the most (depending on how you look at the scenario), while having SIX MILLION IN CAP ROOM. In fact, they will be spending LESS than the last few seasons while the best contenders will spend MORE.

What possible hope does that show for the rest of this season?

BTW, this is my cue to take a hiatus as a hard core fan, and therefore my level of attention to this fan site. Sorry fellas...well actually a few of you guys won't mind at all...lol. I'll probably be back around Oct/Nov.

So because we rid ourselves of a third liner and pick up a top 4 d-man(who has played top pairing with Green quite a bit) we are no longer committed. BULLSHIT.

You're completely missing the point.
