Would result have been different

[TommyD]

If we had Stralman and Callahan instead of Boyle and MSL.

I don't really see how because what killed them was their inability to score on home ice. I think you have to look at the forwards if you want to determine how the result could've been different.

Certainly possible, but who really knows.

I do know that going forward I want no part of Cally at 6 mill per or more for many years. Dude has 1 playoff goal in his last 25 playoff games +/-. He adds other things, but for us at 6 mill or more per we couldn't afford it.

Stralman at 4.5 per for 4 more seasons is better, but I also happen to think Stralman is being blown up a little bit right now. He is a good solid dman who is now being treated like some big player. To me he is a good 2nd pair guy. I don't believe missing him is a huge issue for us seeing as D is not an issue for us.

Callys contract is horrible.

Would have helped this year but good luck paying all those sub 25 year old players when you are paying a 40 pt guy 6m

Boyle and Callahan sucked all series long. No interest in paying Callahan. If they did, they would be looking at losing Kreider down the line.

 

[chuckd3534]

For this team there is no way we could have afforded Cally with a 6 mill, or a little more, cap hit...just no way. We would be losing a couple of our good young kids if we had Cally on the books at 6.2 mill, and scoring 23 goals and 45 points.

 

[Pastafazul]

NO

 

[Messiah717]

Callahan is not a playoff goal scorer either.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Last year they don't make the SCF without MSL

 

[mrmel29]

Last year they don't make the SCF without MSL

This year they don't make the SCF because of him
