Can someone who knows Jeff (Minnesota) possibly shoot him a text and ask him to check his PMs?

Did Florida forget about the cap when acquiring Thornton, Seabrook, Suter and Pavelski? Its gotta hurt losing Hjarlmarsson and now potentially Kessel for picks. The Thornton trade was highly unnecessary imo. Def sucks losing Hjal and possibly Phil. But it's a good lesson for all going forward, watch your cap cause if you don't, others will.

lol... i didn't forget about the cap. When I took Thornton on, I knew I was going to have to make a few moves.. which were calculated beforehand, but I honestly didn't expect to get as many offer sheets on my guys as I did. As things change, you have to adjust.. and we will. That's the beauty of the league.. you get to think outside of the box.
But when they came in... i looked at the compensation and to be honest... I think the best thing we ever did was switch compensation to be impacted by payscale. Its much more fairer and I think to be honest.. the compensation in most cases make sense and is higher than the market value that's out there. Just my opinion.
Like in the case of Hjalmarsson... I don't think I would have gotten an offer for a first and a second round pick for him? I haven't actually..

I knew you had a plan Kev, you picked up some nice loot to go fishin for younger cheaper talent. 2 -1sts and a 2nd for Kessel looks like a good deal to me, for what you're lookin to do. Looks like you'll also be able to farm your way under the cap. You are better off at this point, waiting for the 2nd week of unassigned to fill your roster, when the farm opens.

Actually didn't realize the comp for Hjal was 1st and 2nd, that's not bad for a guy on his last contract who will have a tough time getting the same ratings on the Yotes. Re: Kessel, I'd still match, but hey two 1sts and a 2nd could be worse for "no D, all O" Phil. Well put Kev

Well put Kev Hjalmarsson will be playing first line minutes with OEL, I think he will be just fine which is why I went for him. That and every time I messaged Kevin about a trade, he wanted Nylander

NO NO NO NO NO.
I also wanted to steal a defensemen from somebody I know I'm going to run into the playoffs this year. Offered him 3 mil so I know I would get him for sure.
But if I'm Carolina I leave Kessel be until Kevin makes a move to try and clear cap space, then that's when I would have put an offer on him. But at the end of the day, sometimes if you want a guy you got to go get him.
But not Nylander. Stop it.

LOL.. yes, it's true.. I wanted Nylander... and I guess his wife too lol..
1st and a 2nd aint bad.
And the other thing I thought about was.. when I dealt for Thornton.. i traded two guys who were making a lot of money... and I definitely would have had to drop them and take on 35% of their salaries.. whereas with Thornton... there's a better chance of doing something with him.
But fear not.. the Panthers have a plan. And when things change.. we adjust.
