  1. Petey looks old AF, Virtanen looks like an older Jim Benning, Bo like the night king and then Boeser I'm pretty sure will actually look like that when he's older
  2. Supposedly Roussel played top 6 last year too..
  3. Don't remember where I saw it but it was reporting that his agent said they are looking for a $7M contract and don't care much about term. It seemed pretty legit, but at the same time, if true I'm surprised they haven't just signed him $7*8.. perhaps Canucks have some doubts and prefer a bridge deal but that would be surprising too.
  4. Over 7? Boeser's camp already said they would be happy with $7M, any term so that won't happen.
  5. Considering his camp has been stuck on $7M I don't see how they would drop to 4... maybe $5M*1 they'd do..
  6. I think $6.9M*7 or $6M*3. If Boeser is looking for $7M and doesn't care about term, I don't see why they don't just lock him up at $7M*8.
  7. I guess according to that guy only Horvat, Petey and Boes qualify as "decent players"
  8. And how is that relevant to this thread?
  9. Yeah that's the idea.... rebuild being over means most of our top players are on the team and playing
  10. Yes.. same time $11.5M comes off from Sutter Baer and Pearson
  11. just take a look at cap friendly... who do we have to sign next year that makes you so worried?
  12. Also pretty dumb to mention three things that have been discussed ad nauseam and known to not be useful re. this contract..
  13. JB gave Delorme the credit so why is this such a hot discussion topic? If anything I am wondering who Gradin/other Euro scouts were watching, that it took our NA scout pushing him to make it happen. Either way all the praise to RD here!
  14. I haven't watched Lindell play much, but that article sure doesn't sell the fact that they are comparable.. - #1 penalty killer - x2+ more goals than hutton almost doubt points Sounds to me like more of an Edler comparable.. The $4.39M arbitration cutoff is news to me and I get the worry, but at the same time I don't see how an arbitrator could give Hutty more than that (although I understand its possible)
  15. Not really a scary comparable at all..? Edler's a vet and leader on this team, was +3 last year playing over 24 mins a game, signed a short term contract which usually means a slight bump in pay. Outscored Hutton 2:1. Hutton showed some progress last year after regression following his rookie year, but not really enough to warrant a huge bump in pay. Good guy and likable but doesn't bring the same intangibles as a 13 year Canuck vet. -23 playing 22 mins a game and put up just over half the points Edler did.
  16. How is that a given? Signing someone via FA or trading draft picks/ELCs (of players likely to start in Utica) would not increase cap space.
  17. I don't get your point here? In no way does trading Sutter for a 4th mean Gaudette = Kesler. Even if ignoring that, Gaudette has more value than Kesler.. so.. your point?
  18. You are really overestimating the value of 4th round picks That Zaitsev Kapanen deal would have to be closer to a 4th overall than a 4th rounder. Sutter would fetch more than a 4th. Panarin/Myers likely both cost more than that. All that aside, I actually really like your thought process here and this would seriously improve the team, but wanted to point out that I think we would be paying a bit more & losing slightly more valuable picks to make the whole thing happen.
  19. Unfortunately he would never do anything to get a guy riled up enough.. (and stating the obvious, would never fight anyone himself)
  20. Agree with Rypien, but is there really any fight better than watching Prust getting uppercuts to the face over and over?
  21. Ya cause no way we're getting that excellent two-way forward with just the 10OA..
  22. Definitely not black and white but just wanted to point out that it's not so bad a deal for us as people seem to think. And yes, while the chart definitely has its flaws (ex. 3OA + 4th rounder worth more than 1OA), overall it's pretty hard to find pick combinations of similar 'point' values that don't seem fair (IMO).
