short of ridiculously overpaying players there really isnt much they can do

they trade for nabokov he doesnt want to play for them they trade for vis he doesnt want to play granted both came but they didnt want to is the point

hell thomas reportedly decided to sit the season out because he knew he was getting traded to the islanders

they have to rely on waiver wire pickups just to fill their roster because getting anyone to sign with them is pretty tough going

There is a reason players don't want to play there and the cap trickery isn't helping.

Sometimes I like to google "DiPietro" and look at "Images".
That is all.

and if they signed a few jeff finger contracts we would all be bitching about that as well

hopefully when they end up in a new arena and if they start being competitive they can convince some players to sign with them

there is no question things just arent done well there but since the league refuses to contract you will get teams like this

The move also means that nearly $11 million of the Isles' $53-plus million payroll is eaten up by three guys who don't play for them. The team is still paying Alexei Yashin $2.2 million in buyout money, and Tim Thomas counts $4.04 million against the cap without actually collecting a salary.

Stupidity doesn't happen because of league size. This could happen in a league with 10 teams.

I hope they do get better with the new arena but until there is a new owner I highly doubt it. Maybe they sneak in a playoff appearance here and there but it won't be much more.

Hopefully their bus has wheelchair accommodations after Rick plays his first set of consecutive games.
