Sujet: Weaponizing cap space
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dca919</b></div><div>You also forgot a RHD--Lindstrom. Regula trade was a gamble that Yzerman lost on.

If Madison Bowey gets a 3 year contract, Yzerman will immediately become a worse GM than Holland and I will stop watching for 2 years.

Weaponizing cap space then proceeds to deal with teams with cap room? No that's not weaponizing cap space. Weaponizing cap space means something like offer sheet to Tampa's Sergachev at 2nd round level (2x $4,363,095), St. Louis' Dunn. I doubt they sign those, but it poisons the well of their teams making low-ball offers and might set in motion the ability to extract another player from them. You could certainly do it with Cirelli though.

Otherwise weaponizing cap space means you are acquiring a bad contract plus a 1st rounder. Not having to give up 2x 2nd plus a 3rd line player.</div></div>
I’d consider this offseason a fail if Yzerman isn’t able to leverage teams with our cap space. Whether that means acquiring premium picks (first or second rounders) or young players in exchange for cap dumps (eg Teravainen/Bickell). I really hope Chris Illitch doesn’t restrict Yzerman with an internal budget.

Sujet: If We Had Hit On The 2015 and 2017 Drafts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wingss</b></div><div>Yea, but in the top 10 you've gotta do better than for sure NHLer IMO, you've just gotta. With all these advanced statics and how far scouting has come, you've can't afford to mess these high picks up. I like Ras and he's having a pretty good 2nd year pro so there's reasons to be hopeful but I don't think he'll ever live up to 9th overall.</div></div>

Look at the drafts, unless its a ridiculously good draft, their are usually around 3 or 4 players picked in the top 10 that don't end up being studs but just end up being decent NHLers. Ras might not be the 2C guy we need but he still has a chance to be a very good piece for us down the road. That 2017 draft is pretty bad, I mean look at who went 1 and 2. Id be way more pissed if I was NJ or PHI to be honest, but thats just shows you how unpredictable the draft can be.
