Smashian Kassian Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Just now, Jimmy McGill said: actually yes, those guys will be great ELC additions. I agree they'll be good players, but just them coming in as rookies isn't going to be enough. I'm talking about the team taking a legitimate step, not just comparing the roster with X vs Y.

Popular Post aGENT Posted April 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2021 4 minutes ago, Jimmy McGill said: well, its not 4. Now that would have been epic. Jim's an enigma. He's done so well with drafting, most development, RFAs, but can't seem to get the UFA thing right. I don't really have a problem with most of his UFA signings (Eriksson being the only real boat anchor). Sutter and Beagle are a touch overpaid but that was required at the time to attract much needed C depth to a bottom feeder and was an agreed upon plan with ownership. Whether people like/agree with that plan or not. Roussel was worth every cent of his deal before his knee injury. Myers contract is likewise fine. Ferland's signing was certainly risky as hell given his history, but if he was healthy we'd all love that deal. None of those are remotely 'fire-able' IMO. This one though.. Even I'm a bit . Again, it's not awful... But given Covid, where the team is... it's definitely not a good deal. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 73 Percent Posted April 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2021 2 minutes ago, Jimmy McGill said: risk I was just fine with. Covid cap has created a lot of leverage for GMs, I just think Jim didn't need to rush into this one, I just don't see a lot of teams offering him something this good. Its not a crippling deal by any means, just a bit disappointing. So are you okay with letting toffoli walk? I'm genuinely curious because this can be the same scenario. I dont mean to single you out specifically but many in this thread are claiming benning didnt learn. He let toffoli walk because it would put us in a bad cap situation. Bad move. He signed Pearson to avoid the toffoli situation. Bad move. He put his cereal in before the milk. Bad move. At a certain point I dont think benning can make a good move in some ppls eyes. 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 4 minutes ago, iinatcc said: Carl Soederberg is getting 1 million, Toffoli got 1 million more and scores a lot more than Pearson. This is a huge overpayment. With the money free agents were signing recently Pearson was worth 2 million max Perhaps, the Toffoli bit def stings, but Pearson also had some leverage coming off a career high 45 points. He took a pay cut, just not as large a pay cut as some would have liked. Including me. 2M max seems completely unrealistic for a guy coming off a 45 point season imo. Anyone expecting him to take a 1.75M pay cut is dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EP Phone Home Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 After losing Tofu last year I was sure we would trade and say goodbye to Pear. This cap hit and term, where does it fit in our plans. Is Jim and FA expected to resign Quinn and Petey for peanuts? How can we fit everyone in next season? Like the two cups and experience he has but this doesn’t make sense.

b3. Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Crazy thing is, injured or not the team could have most likely traded TP still. Then most likely circle back on him in the offseason ?!?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a 3C and Top 4 RHD.... so let’s sign a middle six winger to significant money and term. Oh, and let’s do it at a time where it uses up a protection slot during expansion. Oh, and let’s do it when we have a bunch of those contracts on the books that have gone terribly, leaving us with no cap space. Oh, and let’s do it in a flat cap world where there will be similar level players available in the summer for 1 year, $1 million contracts. Since when is a 3x3 significant lol... 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am, I don't think the 4 years would have been a good move either because the yap was at the time it was north of 5 mil. At his MTL deal tho that would have been workable. I don't see Pearson on the same level as TT tho, he's a step down imo and I think Jim needed to wait it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
