Never mind that there were no salary cap restrictions back then. It will be interesting to see how that plays out but I think that’s a tough sell to a star like Matthews who will command upwards of McDavid money. Not to mention Marner. And Nylander is already not toeing the company line on that score. Lot of pressure on the Leafs to win it all this year. It helps having the best coach in the game to help with that. I wonder if Shanahan ever took a little less money for the good of a team. It's always easy to say it when it's someone else's money and not your own. Based on the way that Red Wing team used to write checks back in those pre-cap days, I'm guessing there weren't many pay cuts to be had.

I get a kick out of it any time a retired player suggests a current player take a little less money. It happens all the time and it's always ridiculous. As I said, it's always a hell of a lot easier to say it when it's someone else's money and not your won. This one gets a few extra points since it also happens to be coming from a front office guy of the same team as the suggested pay cut.

Yeah right, I’m sure people around here would go just as silly over a comment made by the Dallas or Tampa franchise.....

I've said it several times in the past. It's usually about football though, but it happens for just about everything. People are more than happy to tell other people how to spend their money. But anyway, if we want to be more specific, let's just say it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out exactly who Shanahan is talking to with a comment like that one. I haven't actually seen the comment itself, but I trust K9 enough that he's not just making something up. That whole Nylander thing actually scares me a bit, seeing as how his brother is a Sabre. If he ever gets his career going, does he wind up trying the same thing?

This is first year of his ELC...so we got 3 years to find out on Nylander!!!! @ShadyBillsFan Wilson/Marchand the two dirtiest/scummiest players in the game..and they both are great players outside of that garbage. As I asked up top..did anyone on the Caps respond? Hockey is so dumb with their "code"..just like baseball. I did not see the game, but the highlights looked almost like the Caps said " he broke the code, he gotta pay" ..stupid!!!

I just didn't pay much attention He's a hard hitter / fighter. You could say dirty, but I think there are far worse. Marchand supposedly went after him because he celebrated too long after his goal by "their" bench.
plenzmd1 Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 damn, Sabres..you seeing backups in the 2nd game of the year..if that don't motivate ya( i know Tukka was awful last night)
