Bobby FING Ryan to Ottawa!!

No idea. 1.2 for Condra plus 3 for Cowen plus 1.5 for Wiercioch.  So 56 minimum, probably around there.  Room for another move, but again why do you care about cap and money right now?  Is this team not good?  So what if the cap and salary is low?  Just more to play with at the deadline - or more likely next summer in ufa.

How are we going to get up all the way to $55M-$57M?

Condra: $1.2M
Wiercioch: $1.8M
Cowen: $3.5M

Those are somewhat optimistic numbers but that's $6.5M and takes us to $57. Add $1M for injury callups and then $2-3M for a deadline trade.

Remember, as a cap team the Sens broke even if they made the 2nd round. Each home playoff game is $1M net, so "2nd round" means 4-5 home games. That means if we operate $5M below cap we should be breaking even, and any home playoff revenue is gravy. That was based on the cap from at least one season back. I "guesstimate" that $55M is break-even if tickets go back to pre-lockout levels (recall there were lots of specials last season).

Wow, lots of flooding everywhere. Calgary, we've all heard about. Now Toronto. And if you look world-wide there's also flooding in China and Serbia -- that's just from scanning the canoe.ca headlines. Saw pictures of people walking in waste-high water in Toronto. in Calgary the Saddledome was flooded up to row 10.

These are all recent.

Even if the hockey team breaks even or makes money, that may not impact Melnyk's willingness to spend. I have concerns that his "budget" is going to haunt us.

There's a very good chance that the budget holds the team back from taking steps toward Cup contention.

Shows you how devastating Alfie's departure is. This is a huge trade that was overshadowed by an even bigger loss for the club.

Your summer vibe seems to have come in the form of a picture of a dirty, dirty girl. Shame on you!!

This was one of the most comment trade proposals I ever read regarding the Sens.

I never thought it would actually go down.

Bryan Murray says Anaheim wanted two of Cowen, Zibanejad and Silfverberg for Bobby Ryan. Able to compete trade when Ducks agreed on Noesen.
