N7Nucks Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 2 hours ago, D-Money said: $4.5 million? That's it? That's what 20-goal scorers are getting (Marchment, Olofsson, Mikheyev). He just scored more goals than Boeser ever has. It's more goals than Laine has scored since 2017-18. Josh Norris scored 35 last year too, and he just got almost $8M. I suspect Mangiapane's deal will be at least $6M. Yeah and Cheechoo scored 50+ goals once. You gotta be careful breaking the bank for guys that potentially way overplayed their normal status. He's a great middle 6 guy. But would you really pay him as a 30 goal guy? If he gets 6m they may regret that as early as next season. With that said, he was absolutely phenomenal last season. 25 goals even strength? That's insane production. With 15 and 17 even strength goals the two seasons prior respectively. Doing that kind of damage with roughly 13-15 minutes of ice time a game? He's a hard man to gauge value wise. Goal scoring he provides more than most with little time to work with. 2 shorthanded goals and a shorthanded assist last season. Sounds like he's sound on the PK. If nothing else at least a threat to score shorthanded. He should definitely be asking for at least 5m per. Given what Mikheyev got. Closer to 5.5m per. But I don't think he should be getting 6m per. If he drops back to his mid to high teens production you have a problem, and the odds of him scoring in the mid to high teens is way higher than him being a regular 30 goal guy. In my humble opinion.

billabong Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 then a desperate Joe Sakic will come after miller and trade girard ++ for him Having Hughes and Girard wheel the puck out of the zone 2 out of 3 shifts would be quite the treat to watch CHAOS WILL ENSUE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone know Tkackphuck liked the beach that much? Anything can happen. Yeah. I don’t doubt that anything can happen. Whether it will happen for us is another story. I don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors at Rogers Arena, but I am sure those guys are working every day to try to get something done. I kinda saw Tkachuk leaving Calgary after Gaudreau left for the Jackets. I’d laugh if Calgary somehow met Columbus in the playoffs and beat them. LOL Would be justice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also "that's a small body gentleman, a really small body" (got to love Burke!)... and we already have one of those percolating in the AHL kicking butt who's also a lefty. Personally think, why not try one of these guys on their off side? A lot of teams do that. A lot of players do it too (QHs has actually talked about how certain things he does better on the right side) ... Schmidt, Benn... this obsession that you simply have to be a RHD to play the right side is a bit onerous. If 50% more D's currently in the NHL, are natural LHDs it says something right there. Doesn't Dermott play both sides too? It's also why id hope for Byram. Although with Manson signed i think that's now a fairy tale. Those two played top four minutes during their cup run ... Girard dropped to the third pairing...ugh. Not ... fair that team. But i can say, there is a team out there that could beat them with some hot goalie and puck luck. Bet they've got 5-1 odds to repeat though ... What did they lose, four games? Haven't seen a team like that in a very very long time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... i guess i could live with that. Would be a couple other Canadian teams i'd rather see win before the Flames...but at least Tanev and Markstrom would get their names on the cup (even though good odds both are injured before the final lol).... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Byram would be the ideal, but Giratd is a dynamic damn and he's a pretty solid defender as well.......he handles himself alright, physically 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also capable of playing multiple roles as he was paired with pretty much everyone on the d-unit in Col from Makar, Toews, J Johnson, E Johnson, and Byram regularly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parise signed the 1st day of free agency after being bought out by the Wild - was only communicated near the start of training camp. Don’t contracts need to be registered with the league? Could Kadri sign a bigger deal, if offered, while Lou Lam is holding on to register it, or would it be binding - even though not registered?

They have to be filed to be official, but doing business with Lamoriello is based on trust. I don't know how that would get ruled but hard to believe a dispute would happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
