Do you think the Sens owner will spend anywhere near the cap? What happens when Bobby Ryan jumps ship next year?
- prock

Do you think the EXTRA $10 Million more the leafs spent this season, than the Senators was worth it?

toronto spent more than Montreal, Tampa Bay, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Columbus, Rangers, Anaheim and many more teams.

Heck the Avalanche only spent about $53 Million this season, less than Ottawa and about $13 Million less than the leafs.

Every-time you point to the amount of money the leafs spend, as if that is some kind of monumental achievement........you just make yourself look that much more foolish, if that's possible.

Well if he leaves they will trade him and get value for him. Unlike the leafs and bolland

I'm really not worried about the second and fourth they gave up for Bolland.

If it were this year, I doubt Melnyk lets them trade Ryan, as he'd try to gun for the playoffs. So I see it as fully possible he walks for nothing.

Yes, I do think it was worth it. Because not spending near the cap eliminates the possibility of icing a contending team. LA, Pit, Chi, Stl, all within a million of the cap.

And in the Leafs case spending near the cap also eliminates the possibility of icing a contending team.

Point being you can spend all the money you want but its doesn't mean a good god damn if the organization suffers from gross incompetence.

I'm aware of that. What you said doesn't make that point at all though, you idiot. I've never said spending to the cap guarantees a good team. Not spending near the cap guarantees you're not a contender though. You get that there is a difference right? Maybe if you read that a few times you'll get it.

Just wondering. Did you finish high school? I'm certain there are no degrees to your name, that much is obvious, but I'm curious if you managed to finish high school. And if so, were you in your 20s at that point?

Generally pretty high, because if they're taking an opposing point of view to Dopps, they're probably right.

Unfortunately I only have my Ontarian grade 12 which means I did grade 4 three times.

Umm, no, it doesn't mean that.

So you sort of finished high school then. I'm assuming you're old enough that they still had grade 13/OAC when you were in school. If not, then congrats, you finished high school. I was pretty sure that's where you topped out, at most, though.

I have nowhere near the qualifications to install and maintain high voltage Motor control centers with a speciality in automation through modern PLC's that operate some of the biggest and most advanced Oil and Gas plants on the planet.

For me, it begins and ends with delicious fries. Yummy.

We routinely use Honda Civic motors to produce enough steam to pull bitumen from hundreds of meters below the Earth's surface and Ford Focus motors to put 30,000 volts onto the grid with the intention of being stepped up to 256KV.

and neither will win the cup. never has a team not near the cap won it. Before the cap, nearly every year the winner was in the top 5 in spending. The only exception was TBay.

I can understand why a Sens fan would want to think it'll happen though.
