He's having the season now most hoped he would have had his first year here. I'm not buying Ray's "analysis" tbh, Jake has improved a lot defensively and you can't be unaware and do that. I can't remember the last time I heard Ferarro say something interesting, other than when he didn't know who Gadjovich was during the WJs. I'd like to see a 2 year extension for Jake and see what more Green can do with him in that time before we make the call that he can't read plays, it will come. Some guys just need more time. Ferraro's a blowhard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playoffs were not on the table this year and I found it funny even 20 games ago when statistically they were in a position. This isn't a playoff team yet. Enjoy this process. Enjoy that Utica is again competitive. Enjoy that almost everyday one prospect in CHL or Europe does something noteworthy (today it was DiPietro playing lights out). So much to enjoy with this franchise right now but playoffs, not in the cards. imagine what Demko could do on a team without 8 or 9 PTOs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't pretty but I wouldn't call it "slow". I bet Markstrom feels better about that 2 points than any other game this year except his shutout.

Two-year bridge, then both sides know what he's worth and lock him up long-term until he's 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridge deal and see where he is at a few years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM's are not being prudent in my opinion by handing out career contracts based on one or even two years of good stats. Atkinson's contract?

Your info sent me to Google and I found a lot about it including an incredibly annoying song that sounded like a ripoff from the annoying Cheers song. Funny that Travolta started that young in a show like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teams have the players locked up, so why give a long term deal for huge dollars until you need to? The Oilers might have really done themselves in (again) with the McDavid and Draisatl contracts. The Sabres look to have done the same with Eichel. I could see if it's a guy like Bo, who is getting 5.5, which is a more reasonable cap hit over the term, but these BIG dollar deals make no sense, when a team doesn't need to do that. Now those young players have to carry the load in all aspects of the game, along with being the leaders too. There is not enough money left for the middle guys to play the Dzone starts, and PK.

But if you look at his stats, he basically kills possession and scoring chances for any linemates he has. How is that working out for you in managing Arizona? Hockey isn't played on paper and by computers. Sutter is given the toughest defensive assignments and many more Dzone starts - two things that tend to "kill possession and scoring chances". He is a very solid NHL player and on this team their 2nd or 3rd most important c-ice man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton has done that with pretty much everyone of their 'generational' talents they have signed over the past 10 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
