HAPPY CANADA DAY!




12:01pm.
Let the free agent feeding frenzy begin.

Always interesting to watch the carnage as frantic GMs try to buy a Cup, which is always easier said than done. I wonder to what extent the $$$'s being thrown around this year will be affected by the looming issue of a shrinking salary cap. Should affect the length of big money deals at the very least, one would think. But its tough to say that any of this ever makes much financial sense.

The Cane's have an MO of staying out of the fray earlier on, waiting for the dust to settle and not overpaying until the market evens itself out. Can be frustrating as hell sometimes for a fan, but probably makes sense with the budgets we are usually working with.

Will be interesting to see if Rutherford is a little bit more aggressive this year after failing to lock up Cole or LaRose.
