speaking of Kevin Lowe...
Boston: Sebastien Bisaillon - 4 years - $2,100,000
yea cause its normal to pay a guy whos at the bottom of a teams depth chart, and who might never stick on the pro roster that much. perfectly normal.

My guess is that all GM's are thinking the same here. They only get 10% of contract in the minors and let's see if they develop into anything. But some of the contracts are too high, I am guilty of that a bit too.

That is true about the 10%, but what I think GMs are forgetting is that when we hit FA all players are moved up from the farm, so that salary will be in full against your cap

What I don't understand is something like Marc Methot getting 1.8 or O'brien getting 2.5. If those players are important enough to give them all that money, then why weren't they important enough to grab with your first set of picks and only pay 500k for them. That's what's really confusing to me, paying 3 or 5x more than what you could have gotten them for

That's what's really confusing to me, paying 3 or 5x more than what you could have gotten them for My take on that is that these guys were high draft picks or undrafted coming out and have developed with greater potential than they had. But my bet is that half these guys dont even make it to the NHL as a starter.

That's what's really confusing to me, paying 3 or 5x more than what you could have gotten them for O'Brien WAS picked by me the 1st day, and I had to silent bid on him, he is supposed to be a very good one someday. Also since we are only allowed to pick 5 a day, I thought players like Backstorm - Pavelski -Poti were worth more than Methot, so he didn't make my list til the 2nd day and he also required a silent bid.

Payroll at 48 million and have 16.1 million off the books at seasons end. Cap space is awesome.

I kinda initially thought I overbid on Poti @ 5.2 mil per season. Looking at it now & in relation to free agency, the guy's a bargain! He had a nice rebound yr in NHL last season, is looking good in pre-season with the Caps, and the guy who plays the point on the Caps power play this season could put up some dandy stats! Plus - he's 78ov rated now...

Plus - he's 78ov rated now... not only that Jon, but these guys are basically useless when it comes to trade bait now.. i dont care if you stash them away on your farm, and then bring them up when theyre "stars", until then, youre just tightening the hypothetical ropes youre tying around your hands. and either way, 10% or not, thats still a ridiculous 200k youre paying Bisaillon for X number of years, and i can assure you that a lot of these guys might have to wait longer than their current given contracts to get a decent rating.
