  1. those players are significantly higher than BB. Not very good comparables, imo. edit: Konecny is probably a decent comparable.
  2. to be fair, it's BB who has decided to miss camp. Of course there's going to be blowback from that........all things considered it's been pretty civil. However, the long this goes on, the higher the probability that we might not see BB in blue and green
  3. As usual with franchise, injuries will be the single biggest factor.
  4. There's no need to it. I'm not saying LE won't be in Utica (though I believe he won't), but it's not related to the Boeser hold out in any way
  5. What does one have to do with the other?
  6. I'm not so sure they are ready to commit big $, long term.
  7. Most of the RFA's who have signed do not have the same designation as BB, and have more bargaining power.
  8. Breezer is ready to jump up, imo. It's time for Biega to move on or move down, which is hard to say because I really like him
  9. And who was one of the primary architects of that franchise?
  10. Then I'd say that BB doesnt have a great case in that regard. Ultimately, I don't think GM's care much about comparables in regards to RFA like Boes. JB probably has a fair, albeit team friendly, number on the table based on his own internal comparables to manage his cap going fwd. He knows Brock has no move other than sitting. It's actually been well played by JB. Clearly he knew where BB's camp was sitting before the draft and UFA and he bought himself a whole lot of leverage to use in negotiations with Boes. They now have depth up front, other guys who can contribute and suddenly Bies sitting out isn't as impactful as it woukd have been last year. Brock, really, has no move where he doesn't capitulate, imo. If he doesn't, he's a helluva chip to have in a deal.
  11. Did they have the same RFA designation I wonder?
  12. I think they played chicken and Boston McAvoy three a wrench into their plan
  13. I'd argue, if I'm JB, that his value is equal to, or slightly less than McAvoy's
  14. Well, the now have a 1-2 year window. Mission not accomplished Gilman
  15. Given the behaviour in this thread, it's probably good that they don't.
  16. You mean Gilman, the architect of the disaster of the last 5 years and who is now building a new Titanic in Toronto?
  17. I was wondering about MD, there really hadn't been any comment on him, he's really flown under the radar all off season too
  18. No argument here, but everyone slumped down the stretch, Petey too. There were just too many injuries to cover.
  19. He would have been a 20 goal last year, if healthy. Thanks a lot Bin Laden
  20. The guy is coming off a solid season on a very cheap deal for what he brings. The media morons seize on one quote and the legions of disgusting people follow like sheep.
