I guess posters like yourself are bi-products of where this team is talented youth wise, but this team needs him as they need his scoring punch. As for the 50 Contracts, pin that on Feaster then, If I had known 50 contracts makes Sven inelgible to stay, It should be easy math to never go above 49 (especially when you actually have a 1st round pick in junior). Ill sleep better now, knowing we got Kolanos to help fill the net for Abby.......
As for Matty's way to get below 50 contracts (put up someone to get claimed) I would vote: Michael Backlund  |
Once again, since you clearly need help on this front: The 50 contract issue only becomes a problem if we go deeper in our playoffs than Portland does in theirs.
WE CANNOT KEEP BAERTSCHI FOR ANY REASON ONCE WE GET ANOTHER FORWARD HEALTHY. There is no way it can happen. None. Zero. Impossible. He must be returned to Portland at that point, and this is not negotiable.
It took a perfect storm of injuries for him to come up in the first place and to suggest that Feaster should have planned for something like this is, frankly, idiotic. Especially since there is no justifiable reason to burn a year of his ELC. Because if we did, people like you would be trashing him three years from now for wasting a year of Baertschi's contract when he's making $4 million+ instead of $1 million on the next deal.
And that does not even touch on the stupidity of your suggestion to get rid of Backlund's contract, even though there is no way we can do that either.
