count on them being too fucking cheap to sign anyone good, it will be either him or paetsch. tom galisano can spend 50 mil on running for governor and have no chance but cant lose 3 mil a year on the sabres ---

he won’t…this year showed we can win with a pep boys payroll, so he’ll try to cheap out for one more season we SERIOUSLY need some defenseman signing to make this work tho…or at least SIGN someone and not be just sitting on qualifying offers :ohnoes: ---

We were the 2nd best team in hockey, 1st being a hasek led senators team. Hasek and Chara are gone, making our squad the team with the best chance to win it all next year. All we had to do was #1 hold it together for one year and #2 get any defensive depth we could. JUST FOR ONE YEAR. I seriously wouldnt mind if we tanked for awhile after next year so long as we won it. Get the city out of its drought already! ---

chara IMO is not worth 7 mil a season BUT ottawa is going to crumble without him there…sounds like a division banner for next season 😛 [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-nhl-offseason-thread/14053.md?page=2)
