I am making a good salary from home $1400-$2400/week , which is amazing, under a year back I was jobless in a horrible economy. I thank God every day I was blessed with these instructions and now it’s my duty to pay it forward and share it with Everyone,

Here is what I do……  M­­o­­n­­e­­y­­6­­­3­.­­C­­­­o­­­m

Passengers could possibly be intimidated by MacKinnon but competitors want to play with others who have high standards and would do anything to get better. He doesn’t expect anything that he wouldn’t do himself

I suspect it would take considerably more than that for McCann and Oleksiak.

Do you think its possible that Mackinnon’s reputation as a teammate could affect some players in coming here? The food thing a couple years ago was laughed off, and the bench incidents don’t seem that big. However, the players do talk behind closed doors, and it would not surprise me if many guys just don’t want to play with him especially if the facts are actually worse than the rumors.

Another problem is so many teams have a surplus in cap space. Not as many teams this year with the cap increase need to shed salary. So there aren’t those usual cap casualties & teams getting squeezed into moving guys they don’t want to really move.

Dallas is the only one in that spot that comes to mind. And obviously they aren’t doing those types of deals with the Avs.

But when you have virtually no real tradable assets outside of a few guys on your roster (Necas, Girard, etc). Who already make substantial money. What good does 7 plus million in unused cap space well after July 1st really do for them?

And out side of two prospects (Nabokov & Gulyavev) & a 1st in 27. They have nothing that will bring back anything of value.

Going into the off – season after they re – signed Nelson. All they really needed to do had they not dealt Coyle was dump Wood. And figure out a way to re – configure the D – Core.

Instead they created a huge hole in their bottom 6. Who cares if he made too much for a 3C? He has 1 year left on his deal. And they added Burns who adds nothing to what they already had on the back end. Plus he’s older than EJ who probably could’ve done the same thing he’ll do for ultimately 3 million less. Give them another guy to PK, who can play bottom pair minutes. I thought the point was to make your roster better.

Too many teams willing to trade good players, but only for a super high price. The reality is they are not really on the trade market. Another one today is Pavel Zacha. Is Boston really looking to trade him? I would love for him to be an Av and would have preferred him to Coyle, but my guess is that Boston will be asking too high a price.
