Cheers... suggested the same earlier to a question of whether a team in the modern era had won won cup with an average D...

I think we look a lot like the Pens team... without Crosby obviously, but they con't come along often, so...

Sure but Malkin and Stall...still way better.

 

The Pens comparable is so bad.

One thing that was super cool was logging in and seeing the deal done.

 

Nice to see some real news. I didn't see it coming.

Media is already showing how salty they are with the Canucks for being tight lipped. Fired all their sources lol. Nice to see things just happen though

The twitter cesspool is very toxic, Its like 99% from all fanbases hate this deal lol. We do it too but it's funny how the natural reaction to another team signing a guy to a deal all teams have is to just crap all over it 

Sure....But honestly it has it's pros and cons. This site is a little homer for sure.

 

I think it's highway robbery for 3 years. After that we'll find out but anything can happen between now and then.

Ha totally.

 

I find "window" is an excuse. It puts bookends on a time frame.

 

It's hilarious given a decade of sucking "entering a window". Like come on, just don't suck.

I get what you’re saying but “windows” do exist. It’s the culmination of cap space, player development, coaching and timing mixed with luck. You can’t change any of that with a snap of the finger and expect it all to come together.

 

fact of the matter is this club has made some poor decisions in the past, especially in the salary realm which has carried over into poor choices/limited selection in personnel, and a dismal coaching system. Those 3 categories combined define what you’re going to be able to accomplish in any given season. 
 

so yeah, in terms of where we sit now, we are actually entering a window of sorts…almost all our top end talent is locked down for the foreseeable future, within a couple years most of our dead cap/poor contracts will be off the books, and as well we will have opened up roster spots for players who can contribute and take a spot, rather than act as placeholders in a temporary role.

 

You get all that in place, combined with effective coaching, and the ability to shift gears increases rapidly rather than incrementally. 
 

if we become a real threat, the door opens a bit wider too to attract other quality players. 
 

this is the year to prove we belong.

Ranges from fans to other teams homer sites. Everyone's a hater while they have actual bad contracts while also being over the cap lol. 

 

Like any contract with term, Its risky. I wish they capped them at 6 as that's long enough for hockey imo
