  1. 90+ points, while playing in all situations disagrees. That said, as an RFA he should not be getting that kind of $. Dubas blew it with AM.
  2. There's no cap issue holding anything up, that's been well established
  3. What makes Boeser better than Nylander? Nylander's numbers are better, and I'd say they're both a wash in other parts of the game. People laughed at WN's contract as a huge overpayment and a huge gaff by Dubas, yet somehow, a richer contract for a guy with worse numbers is somehow perfectly in line?
  4. He's a big guy, he's never going to be tight and lean. He's out of the doghouse today, so it's a moot point anyway. I'm guessing it wasn't fitness related at all.
  5. Why can't he get less than 6? He's a 55ish point guy who has yet to play a full season.......you really think that is worth $6m+? People rake Dumbass over the coals for Nylander's contract as a huge overpayment, but he's a better player, with better numbers than Boeser.
  6. Sure a lot of people jumping ng on Virtanen who didn't actually see him in practice. All I know is he looked in good shape in the golfing video.
  7. It's got nothing to do with that at all, imo. Perhaps a cpl weeks ago, but not now.......I don't think there's any way he would miss training camp for that, nor do I think his father would want him too, I'm sure.
  8. To me, Marners deal puts Boes' right around $5.5ish on a bridge deal.
  9. How so? How much pk time does Boeser get? In the last minute, is Boeser out there to protect a lead?
  10. Except Marner is a complete player and plays in all situations. Boeser does not.
  11. I don't think so.......the bar for RFA is mostly set internally, imo.
  12. You won't win anything dedicating over half your cap space to 4 players, imo.
  13. I'd actually like to see him get a chance to be that guy, which he hasn't. Last season he played a primarily defensive role, getting heavy dzone starts and playing with bottom 6 linemates and he was still on an 18 goal pace over 82 games. Maybe he won't be that guy, but he needs the chance, at least.
  14. Exactly, he's pushing him.......nothing more, nothing less.
  15. Because facts are facts and speculation is just opinion. People should be held to a standard. Don't like it? Don't try to pass opinion and speculation off as facts. Pretty simple to say "in my opinion, it must be fitness related" instead of saying ""Green directly called out and humiliated Jake on missing his fitness goals" and definitely don't change a direct quote. It very likely is, I agree. But, that's just speculation on my part.
  16. No, a lot of you said TG directly said they were fitness related, which he did not. Speculate all you want (and I don't disagree it could very likely be fitness related), but don't state it as fact. There's enough chicken little here without disinformation.
  17. He's progressed every year and had a solid year last season, in a primarily defensive role.
  18. I'm not saying they weren't fitness related, but Green never said they were. Certainly not in the original quote we were all going off of.
  19. And I'm not saying it isn't......just that saying Green said it up front is completely false. @Stelarliterally changed a direct quote from TG to include "fitness goals".
  20. I'm honestly thinking you don't what speculation actually is.
  21. Directly mentioning what? He mentioned not meeting goals, saying,bin absolute terms, that they're physical goals is exactly what speculation is.
  22. that's how he's built, I'm the same way........I haven't been under 200 lbs since I was 15, and that included BCHL, WHL. You can't train away DNA
  23. well, to be fair, the quote didn't say a word about conditioning and yourself and @Stelarare making it out like he said that directly. There's enough chicken little here without misinformation and speculation, to say nothing of actually changing direct quotes.
  24. is 20 goals an acceptable measure for Jake this year, for you?
