Definitely time something happened. Think Brindamore is just gonna ride out his contract through next year and retire. Let's start getting help on the wing or keep Staal at winger, grab a young center, couple more forwards, couple dmen and start leaning back towards contending for the Cup!

We should end up with the first pick, so we'll probably get Hall, and can probably snag a good young defender in round 2. Maybe pick up some extra picks through some trades as well. We'd have a nice young core of players, also think it's time to see what some of the Rat's prospects can do in the NHL. Should definitely look completely different next season.

If Rod doesn't want to retire at the end of the season it's time to buy out his contract.

This season? No. He's done too much for the organization to just say "sorry, here's some cash." He has the rest of this season and next season to play out his contract. Then, if he wants out, we let him walk. If he wants a buy out, we do it, obviously. But we don't just make it a forgone conclusion. Not a smart move. Great leader. Great player. Great person. Let him stay through his contract.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
