Leafs hit the ice

Both sides are greedy selfish bastards…but I’m actually behind the players a bit this time around…the owners got their precious salary cap last time..the owners are the ones offerring these ridiculous salaries…and now their back in there crying poor wanting to re write the deal all over again….just split the revenues 50-50 and get on with it…..both sides make me sick….

Cameron…you think Burke survives the season??

I just think there’s a real potential for things to blow up….if he can’t address the goaltending or the center position..and the team struggles and misses the playoffs….fans and possibly new ownership may be calling for a new GM by Christmas….

I think amnesty buyouts are a foregone conclusion.  The teams most effected by the drop would be Vancouver and San Jose.  They are the only teams who probably can’t get under the cap with just a buy-out.  For example, Ballard bought out and Luongo traded for just futures still doesn’t make the Canucks cap compliant.  Likewise, the Sharks could buy-out Havlat, trade Murray, and still have to make a trade or two to get under the cap.

U know what my parents used to do when my brother and I couldn’t decide on who got the last chocolate……the split it evenly between both of us….other sports are 50-50 and NHL ownership wants the same thing…..get it done

 Sorry-  I meant I will do the regular one.  I have participated in prior fantasy leagues with different teams on both my primary and secondary emails.  I provided my secondary email as it is posted on an open site so would prefer to redraft a team rather than carry my prior team associated with this email.  That was my point.  Thanks

Do you think it will take that long.There was real deep anger at the ACC when they were calling for Wilson’s head.That anger will turn it’s attention to Burke next if the Leafs don’t start well

Yeh..you might be right…its really tough to get a read on the new ownership group thus far….they are very quiet..and oddly enough Burke has never been quieter…I just know one thing..Rogers and Bell are the two greediest companies in this country…and I think they will be looking for payoff on their investment….translation….playoff revenues sooner rather than later…

Agreed..at the end of the day….the owners can always out last the players….thats for sure…

Problem is the media that surrounds the team are a bunch of ass hats that will rattle the cage and get the mass of feable minded fairweather fans upset. Oilers seem to have a free pass at sucking for like 4 years cause they supposedly “have a plan” but Burke can’t be given the same amount of time to build the leafs from am even more pathetic state. Burke was given a 6 year deal for a reason, unfortunatly the masses of leaf fans don’t understand that building a team as decrepit as the leafs was gonna take some time.

Thats the thing..its gets complicated…with whats included in hockey related revenues…that seems to be a point of contention right now….with both sides having a different opinion on what included in overall revenues….Ugggghhhh!! just talking about this bullshit makes my blood boil…lol….

Guess the KHL would then be considered the parents in this case, and they do stand to gain from this NHL lockout…..may even pry some guys over there for good with a lot of money….

Molsons owns the habs no?
