Marner isn't soft

Reality is, even if they only commit 15 million (in reality it will be more) of cap space to Seider and Raymond, they won't have cap space to sign Kane or anyone that would require as much

Washington is the first team to get bounced. OV didn't even register a point. He needs 41 to tie Gretzky's record. He scored 31 goals in 79 games this year after only scoring 8 in his first 43.

I have only watched parts of 2 free games this year (both while the Wings were playing) and the highlights for most of the games and some post game interviews so these evaluations are based mostly on stats. I will probably ctach a playoff game or 2. Exceeded expectations Sebastian Cossa - Considerin...

This is bleak. Can't waste cap on so many redundant vets. Need to give young guys more opportunity. They are cheaper and they get better with experience. Berggren certainly deserved more opportunity. He didn't do much when he was called up when Larkin was injured but neither did just about everyone ...
