[Signing] Golden Knights re-sign Brett Howden
Coconuts replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
So neither Vegas or Howden were willing to gamble on arbitration? -

Coconuts replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Takes him to about 26, he'll certainly get a chance to show whether he can build on last season or not. -

Flames to retire Miikka Kiprusoff‘s No. 34
Coconuts replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in General Hockey Discussion
Dude just completely vanished post-NHL career, even Flames fans find him elusive, helluva tender for a while there though. -

[Signing] Lightning re-sign Tanner Jeannot
Coconuts replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
They signed Tanner "almost an entire draft class" Jeannot? I am shocked. -
Sounds like he screwed up pretty badly. My gripe though is that of this were a star player instead of a journeyman the NHL would be sweeping it under the rug.

[Report/Rumour] Elias Pettersson Contract Talks
Coconuts replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
When Sid signed his deal it took up a much larger chunk of cap space than it does now. When Mac signed his 6.3M cap hit deal that began in the 16-17 season he was coming off 52 points in 72 games. The season prior to that he'd put up 38 in 64. Season prior to that, his rookie season, he'd put up 63 in 82. When Mac signed that deal he was likely getting fair market value. The MacKinnon argument in itself is a bit of a myth that way, folks make it out as if he took a discount when he didn't. What actually happened was the Avs wound up being extremely fortunate when MacKinnon blew tf up. The season after he signed, the 16-17 season, he actually put up 53 points in 82 games. At the time he wasn't blowing anyone away as a former 1OA pick. It wasn't until the season after, the 17-18 season, that the MacKinnon we've grown accustomed to seeing arrived with 97 points in 74 games. -
[Report/Rumour] Elias Pettersson Contract Talks
Coconuts replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Pretty much. Dude is going to get paid, and he'll likely get full value or slightly less. Anyone who's paid attention to signings around the league for any length of time should probably understand that most star players do not take significant discounts, I don't know why folks expect that Pettersson will. -
[Report/Rumour] Elias Pettersson Contract Talks
Coconuts replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Or even before next spring tbh, it's either sign Pettersson or trade him and if the idea is to compete trading him would be a disaster. Even if he doesn't duplicate his 100 point season he's got the Canucks by the balls, why wouldn't he cash in on a rising cap? Stars always end up reaping the benefits of more cap space. A rising cap doesn't necessarily give teams the flex some folks think it does, it just means contracts go up across the board. The cap will continue to rise going forward short of another widespread economic disaster, Pettersson won't be able to capitalize on those increases though, all the more reason to capitalize now. I mean, unless he signs a short to medium term deal, which may very well be in his own best interest. -
