Kanada Kev Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Good work Lowe. I'm sure he has a few more tricks up his sleeve too. I'll root for the Oilers in the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Its not done yet, the Ducks can make a qualifying offer.........If they can find room under the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 I dont know lads. Sure it is in his right but I think the motivation here has to be questioned. Edmonton is having a damn tough time signing players and all but does that mean Lowe should screw other teams? This is going to really change the scope of the Ducks once Getzalf and ? (cant think of his name right now) contracts come up soon. If Lowe did this move to the Sens or the Habs or the Leafs would you still applaud him?He's making some serious enemies and its going to get harder and harder for him to swing a deal at this rate. Bad business practices is not a smart move.Forest through the trees boys. Forest through the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I don't understand how Lowe can make these huge offers, but couldn't come up with the extra 200K or whatever it would have taken to sign Ryan Smyth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Today is decision day.... what will Burke do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 TSN is stating that they are trying to make a trade to free up cap space.I say let him go and pray that Edmonton tanks another season. By the trade deadline, Burke might be in a position of substantial power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Imagine having Souray and Penner for the next 4 years at an annual cost of almost 10 million dollars???? Youch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave-O Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Brian Burke may be an ass, but I love his style:"We're taking back 3 picks and given Kevin's recent performance I expect them to be excellent picks." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Hahaha, I loved this bit:"We dont believe these salaries make sense. If I believe these salaries dont makes sense and I match then I'm just as dumb as the team that extended the offer."Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I'm just tried of the General Managers all bitching. Lowe is operating within the system, he is doing nothing wrong. Yes the salaries are crazy but they have been for years, salary cap or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 There is obviously a parrallel here between some of the women Badams has slept with (operating within the system) and this Kevin Lowe situation but I am not going to name any names.

I have even suggest contracts with a few suggested fee agents. It's not my fault if they did not live up to their end of the bargain. I was influenced by my need to take care of my boys and booze...mainly booze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the salaries are crazy but they have been for years, salary cap or not.I agree. Burke also gave Bertuzzi 4 million a season. Who would you rather have Penner or Bertuzzi?

Booche Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 That's a nice arguement you got there Whitey, especially if Bert cannot add solid value in the next 2 (?) years. It's a gamble for both these GM's and one we wont see until later.Personally, I love this whole storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
