I understand what you are saying but where have I said anything about worrying about what assets you get back? Wideman is a tough one because of his NMC, but I would offer him around for free. Just get rid of him. I think there is a time where you just have to cut a loss and move on, and Wideman is a loss. The team screwed up by not sending Raymond down when they had the chance, and bury him for the season. I don't see anything that mortgages the future by removing dead weight. Would I like them to get assets back? Yes? Do I think that is a requirement right now? No. I think we can improve by deleting some of the guys who have consistently played poorly.

Give Johnny the 15$ million per year he deserves!

[jg13]

i can already taste how salty the around the league report is

[Dion]

Oiler fans are probably having nghtmares seeing his goblin face over and over again!

[Robo]

What a crazy period

[pylon]

Johnny is the most talented player the franchise has ever had since Kent Nillson. The difference is, he seems to care about winning. Give him every penny he asks for. A player like him might come along for a franchise every 20-30 years. He is 100% a franchise player, superstar.... Whatever ultra label you want to put on him. And the timing is perfect with the hitting basically removed from the game. 10 years ago, he's a Swiss league lifer.

Sam knows Connor is watching closely from above, showing him how it's done lol.

For all we know they have offered him for free. Though I think that is doubtful as they don't have someone to step in to replace him

Whats Tarasenko making again? I can live with that. I think 6.5 is the end per year number though. EDIT: In regards to Johnny's new up coming contract.

[Lanny_McDonald]

Did the Flames really have 20 shots in the 2nd? Wow. 30 shots after two periods must be a season high.

[JiriHrdina]

Works his bag off Johnny?

[Yoho]

Works his bag off? Lol

[To Be Quite Honest]

Millions hair cut sure makes him look skinny. Good choice in hair stylist Roger!

[GioforPM]

Hah, Johnny. Matt works his bag off, eh?

[dino7c]

he does work his bag off

[AcGold]

Hey Pharmacist, shouldn't it be "It awakens" on that wine commercial?
