With Edmonton's inability to keep star players like Weight and Guerin in the past and most recently Smyth it makes me wonder what they would've done if Buffalo didn't match the Vanek offer, how the fuck could they have afforded it?
Anyway, it pisses me off when one team signs an RFA to an offer sheet, the other team always winds up getting fucked over royally while salaries go up around the league due to the bar being set even higher and the team that made the offer doesn't face any repercussions at all. I wanted to kick the **** outta Clarke for offering Kesler that contract last summer, that was fucking greasy, thanks for screwing us by making us greatly overpay a fucking prospect. Dickweed. Then he gets fired as GM and I celebrate, only to see him back as a consultant or some **** like that a few days later.
I was also pissed off that Colorado signed Smyth, I finally get to see the Canucks play games against Edmonton and not have see Smyth, enjoying the freedom of having him in the other conference and now he's right back in our division. Fuck you Avs.
