Between Laine and Caufield, the Habs are spending quite a bit of money for two right handed wings who aren't very good on about 80% of the rink
I know there were some that wanted Laine to be traded to the Wild. Thank goodness that didn't happen. He is talented, but 3 teams at his young age is an alarm... ( see Pierre Luc Dubois )
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

depends on what the cost would have been. If they could have traded Spurgeon for Laine straight up? Thats a no-brainer trade for Minnesota
so laine goes for nothing (and they sent a draft pick?) with only 2 years left on his deal. would've been happy to take this flyer but there was no way we could've made the cap.

Reminds of the Minnesota Mayer family back in 2004. The 3 sisters driving to Wilmar to be in their brother’s wedding and died in an accident. And with God’s strength the wedding still went on.
I’m not sure if there were any other salary cap acolytes such as myself who were blindsided when CapFriendly went down. Recently I stumbled across CapWages which looks almost identical to CapFriendly. I think it’s already better than any of the other options.
NHL and Fanatics have launched a new “Authentic Pro” jersey, for a small price of $425. I’m sure Fanatics will put these jerseys through that same quality control everyone loves and expects. What a joke.

I hope that price includes customization with name/number. Even so that’s almost double what it has cost to buy one at the Wild store. Ishy.
I can only wish I had even a fraction of the knowledge required. I did not play growing up, girls hockey didn’t exist. (Heck we barely had a boys program at my school).
Although I’d be more than happy to take a stab at it, I think while Kelly and I could have great fun running a program I think the fans and teams involved would be utterly disappointed.
But we’d look awesome doing it cause we’d make some kick ass uniforms…and we’d have some awesome fan promotions and treat our season ticket holders really well. 😉😎
