maybe you guys should realize that what you're going through now is what edmonton, calgary, phittsburgh and other small market teams have been going through for 10 years.

Go look to an Edmonton fan for sympathy and see what you get: Curtis Joseph to toronto, Doug Weight to St. Louis. Every good player Edmonton has ever had has left because they can't pay them what other teams can.

Now they get the chance to actually sign some palyers. Everyone would have laughed if you said Pronger to Edmonton a year ago. Everyone should get a chance, and now they actually do.

The teams that have an excess of talent have to get rid of some to free up cap room. Teams that have had shitty players forever since they can't afford good players now have a chance.

I might sound a little harsh, but to the people in Toronto, Detroit, Philly, Dallas, NY, Colorado and St. Louis I say tough shit.
