I don't have a schtick. You're the one who goes into thread after thread and derails them with the same old garbage.
No. A top-pairing defenceman is worth $6-7m. Nobody is worth $10.5m unless he's in the Art Ross conversation year after year. The Hawks overpaid on the incorrect assumption that the cap was bound to continue increasing rapidly.

Thats why all the McDavid hype and lott hype is nonsense to me. You can't win if your paying guys nearly 11 million a year with the cap where it is now. Right now the Jets spend around, what, 62 million or so? How can you possibly justify that Toews is worth a sixth of that whole roster? Chicago should have picked one of Toews or Kane and cashed in on hopefully a kings ransom for the other. I just dont see how in a cap world you can tie up nearly a third of your roster space on 2 guys.
