It's not a problem until he hides that he drinks, that's like alcoholism 101. When he's sneaking those little airplane bottles into the fingers of his hockey gloves so he can take a shot during a game it might be time for an intervention.

Or until he's showing up to practices and games extremely hungover/still drunk, that would be a problem too!

Or neglecting his fitness and instead parties hard all summer and shows up to training camp out of shape and has a poor start to the season and has everyone wondering "when will Giroux score a goal?". But that would never happen

Blatant Daniel Alfredsson apologist
In trading Spezza for a 3rd line winger and a pair of C-level prospects that top out as 3rd line wingers (but are just as likely career AHLers), Ottawa dumped 3M in salary and 6M in cap space. Murray may be a thoroughly mediocre GM but this move still reeks of Melnyk.

Right now they're below the cap floor with 13 forwards, 8 defensemen and 1 goalie on contracts.

Lehner is going to get an extension with a 2M cap hit, and Murray will send Ceci to the minors because he's the only defenseman on a 2-way contract and Murray was stupid enough to give Borowiecki a 1-way contract because he's from Smiths Falls and hits people and fights people and has HEART and GRIT.

e: On any other team, signing an AHL defenseman to a 1-way for $600k wouldn't be a problem, but in Ottawa a 1-way means you won't be playing in the AHL.

They could sign/trade for a forward or defenseman, but Melnyk's divorce settlement isn't going to pay for itself.

Ottawa will be a cap floor team and be one Karlsson injury away from McDavid. If Karlsson has a good year they'll probably finish 11th in the East though.

Still better than android clock

And then we turn the McD pick into two passable stay-at-home defensemen, let EK go to a contender and sign Lazar to a two-way contract so bad he fucks off to Russia.

Wheeeeee!
