No, I said if we throw 4 million at Ohlund or who ever it was you were clamoring for. Then we'd only have 500K to spend on a goalie and still be comfortably under the cap. asshat.STL JA wrote:It couldn't be done!!!!!!!@!@#!

Very true. How much did crombeen and wagner go for.SIU LAW wrote:Assuming they are spending to the cap and don't have a budget...
I imagine if they can get Polak in the $1.5 area, they are set. If not, they might have to spend up to $3M for a veteran.

Glad to see the commissioner's office could actually break the NHLPA and still manage to !@#$ it up.
I'm looking forward to another lockout in 5 years.

It could always be worse, I could be a Cubs fan. (But please, if you could spare me the parallels between the respective organizations, I'd really appreciate it).
