holy cap management, batman (CBJ content)

According to our estimates, #CBJ didn't have enough cap room to call up their only other goalie under contract, Allen York. As a result, they'll bring in Mathieu Corbeil from junior, presumably on an unpaid, cap-free, one-day amateur deal. #CBJ are one of seven teams operating with less than $1 million in cap space, according to our estimates.

get a couple of buyouts under your belt, and it's gonna pinch.
also, a long suspension to your second highest player (cap hit counts while he's out) doesn't help.
oh yeeah, paying james wisniewski $5.5 million a year in the first place also doesn't help

at the cap, and 1 point to show for it so far. ouch.
better turn shit around soon or the season will get away from them.

this is something homer would do

Coach Arniel put the team through a bag skate the other day as well...Things are not rosy in Columbus.

IMO it already has. Too bad really. Columbus seems like a good hockey town. Would be nice to see them do something in the playoffs for their fans.

Is this where I point out (much to my glee) that Scott Howson graduated from the Kevin Lowe GM school...

Holmgren signed Pronger to a 35+ 7 year contract

Let's not forget Carter's broken foot.

So what?? Pronger the player will turn into Pronger the coach when his playing days are over.


Now....if you would have said Bryz @ 9 years.....yeah.

 

[Darkstone42]

How do you even? That's just.


Come on.

Nah, Homer would give a NMC to the unpaid junior callup for one game.

Just kick a man while he's down, why don't ya?

Will they be sellers? Yes. And buyers. Of goalies.

What happens to the franchise? Nothing. Nationwide made it's money, the city made it's money and the team made it's money. They will be signing a lease on the arena (which the city now owns) for like a dollar a year until 2035.

Hopefully by 2035, they'll have a good season.
