yeah exactly man low cap space is a big problem imo they cant keep holdin on to every RFA if we get stuck payin high guys its gonna hurt the young guys development in my opinon

yeah exactly man low cap space is gonna hurt us big time if we dont get some guys signed soon

yeah i'm worried about the young guys gettin stuck behind high contracts @BlueJacketsHopeful, that's my main concern right now man

honestly i think thats my main concern too, dont wanna see us stuck with 2-3 years of top-six players makin way too much money when we could be investin in our d-corps man @section7cbj

tbh i totally agree with u @greg_bluejackets, makin those big $$ deals on guys who are already here and not even sure how they'll develop just dont make sense to me man

ngl makin those big $$ deals on guys who are already here just feels like a waste of space man @greg_bluejackets said it best

yep just feels like we're playin into the system man, can't blame jarmo for gettin offers in tho @BlueJackets9

honestly its a tough spot for jarmo but i think we need to prioritize our d-corps, makin big $ deals on guys who havent even shown us much yet just seems like a bad idea @greg_bluejackets said it tho

i feel like we're just lookin for a excuse to pay too much money, gotta be more selective with our signings @BlueJacketsHopeful man this roster is already overcommitted imo

man i think we should've seen this coming after last year's free agency fiasco @greg_bluejackets i swear every summer its the same thing

tbh i feel like we're just tryna keep up with the cap raises, gotta be smart about our signings @greg_bluejackets was sayin the same thing man

totally agree, gotta be smart about our signings, we cant just throw money at guys who aint proven themselves yet man

@BlueJacketsHopeful yeah i know what you mean about free agency fiascos every summer, seems like were just waitin for the other shoe to drop on signings lol
