@HockeytownHank I think you're right on Cossa's deal being a big contributor to our cap space concerns, and it's part of why I've been saying we can't afford to give Larkin a raise @ray23fan still thinks we got some wiggle room, but I'm not convinced

@HockeytownHank: GOTTA BE REAL @ray23fan still living in a fantasy world THINK WE GOT ROOM LEFT OVER? Cossa deal is a total disaster

@HockeytownHank I think you're right on the Cossa deal being a bad contract, but we've got some other long-term deals that'll eat into our cap space too, like Hughes' 8-year extension and Suter's 4-year deal @ray23fan did bring up a good point about having some room left over after the Cossa trade

I think we're underestimating just how much of a drag those Cossa and Hughes deals will have on our cap space, @Ray23fan is still trying to spin it but unfortunately the numbers don't lie. We need a serious shake-up to free up some room for Larkin or anyone else we might want to re-sign.

ngl danM88 is being way too harsh on cossa's deal tbh its gonna be a minor cap hit this year but next season and beyond itll start affecting us man

@danM88 IS RIGHT Frankie_d you can sugarcoat all you want but Cossa deal ain't gonna be minor anything next year

@frankie_d finally someone who gets it! Cossa deal might be minor cap hit this year but next season and beyond it's gonna hurt big time, stop making excuses for Yzerman like he can't do better than that!
