  1. I can’t speak to him putting him in the work or not. All I remember is every time it seemed like he would get going he would get another injury. NHL is tough on the body whether a player is in shape or not.
  2. I’m hoping Hoglander can be a Baertschi type with more bite to his game and of course without the concussion issues. Baertschi when healthy was a good player just inconsistent with the injury issues.
  3. Good now make some damn trades! The NHL really needs to address this. Get rid of the hard cap and have a luxury tax like baseball. You’d see way more movement and fan engagement in the offseason.
  4. This rumour is obviously BS but Columbus is actually a really good trading partner for us. Loaded with centers and D and will be looking for more scoring. Could be a one stop shop for a center and D man like Boqvist or Peeke.
  5. I hope that factored into them overpaying him.
  6. Depends on what part of the US you’re talking about. Living in places like New York and LA is not cheap.
  7. He should get him a better accountant if he’s worried about taxes lol.
  8. I’m not saying it’s not a factor but I don’t think Peteys agent can use that against Barkov being a direct comparable. Barkov was free to sign for whatever he wanted and didn’t need to take less because of lower taxes.
  9. Don’t think you can factor in no tax when using comparables. Barkov is a good comparable the Canucks will be looking at for sure. Wish Barzal was still a comparable but not after the season Petey had…Imagine Benning was competent and got Petey signed for 8.5x8 when he had the chance…
  10. Brutal for Ottawa as they already had limited cap space. They’re gonna have to trade someone now. Just shows how silly and arbitrary the NhLs rules are. Like why should Ottawa not get relief why should they be punished?
  11. Herdman brought them up to that level. Coaching matters and right now they don’t have it.
  12. Anyone got any of those highlights??
  13. They really didn’t televise this game? MLS
  14. Yep. And all that really matters is if he finds chemistry with one of our other guys playing top 4. Nobody thought Schenn was a top 4 anymore and yet he played top 4 here and in Toronto (a contender).
  15. Brutal take. Finding someone not guilty and being innocent are too different things… The only one to blame is Jake. If he took his NHL career more seriously he might still have one. Not gonna spend another second on this entitled washed up bum though. There’s hundreds of players just as talented that are actually willing to put in the work. Only thing special about him was his draft position.
  16. Yea that’s where I sour on the idea. Like how much does this guy want? Sure the cap is going up so the deal will look better over time but how much does he want? 7+ mil? We can’t afford to add more overpriced contracts.
  17. I mean if Canada doesn’t come out guns blazing after some meh performances then they don’t deserve to go through.
  18. Flip them for better center depth? They’re also rumoured to be after Karlsson. So they could use them in a package along with their own picks/cap dump to land him.
  19. Everyone should still just refer to it as Twitter and tweets just to piss him off.
  20. Exactly. Nobody wants Lysell and a late 1st. Which is why they’ll have to go after a cheaper option like Backlund. They don’t have the assets to compete in a bidding war.
