He’s a 50-60 point soft, selfish, toxic in the room winger who is paid 10.5 x 8 and he plays like the old man he is. He’s not going anywhere. Worst contract in the league by a lot. Now that OEL is gone, I agree. Crazy part is that the contract hasn’t even kicked in yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Sounds like he WANTS to test free agency. So in a year it's unlikely he'll resign here if we trade for him. He's definitely a flight risk or a very very expensive one year rental. Edited June 23, 2023 by Hairy Kneel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be bargains That said, we’re likely still trying to sell a winger so this might hurt us there unless Calgary is interested. Could be a few one for one disgruntled player for disgruntled player deals too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is OEL’s contract really gone? It’s been redefined, but it’s not actually “gone”. And not “gone” for eight years. The Huberdeau thing though, man oh man that’s bad.

Benning was our worst GM ever. And it’s hard to believe Treedying got another GM job after that Huberdough fiasco. He’s going to “Benning” the Leafs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was definitely on the “Benning has to go” train, but even at the time I didn’t realize his moves had screwed us so badly we’d still be paying for them 8 years down the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m waiting for a bigger volume of work before I make a judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) 6 hours ago, VancouverHabitant said: Calgary will have a lot of tough moves to make. They are essentially over the cap by just running it back. With so many key players wanting to jump ship would think they'll go the rebuild route. Winnipeg is delusional if they think they can remain competitive after moving Scheifele, PLD and Hellebuyck. Calgary might just realise that they are better off to rebuild. It's moving cap without taking any back that's hard. Here Calgary has some good assets to trade and they can take cap back to facilitate the trade. Winnipeg wants players - it's harder to get full value because they are removing good players from the roster of the acquiring team. The improvement is more marginal for the team trading with Winnipeg because they are going to create a hole elsewhere in their lineup as Winnipeg wants to continue to compete. If Calgary changes direction and accepts taking a step back they could do rather well. Instead of moving the good players the acquiring team can keep the better players and dump a lesser player to make the cap work. That has a different price tag. There's a lack of Ds on the market and Calgary has them - Zadorov, Hanifin, possibly Weegar, Tanev. Edited June 23, 2023 by mll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Wasn't all that many decades back, when it was hard to get any star to come to Vancouver. It sucked, playing in a league that they really couldn't compete with. Not a good sign for hockey. Some markets are smaller, some in places that are not as "nice' as others, different tax structures. All factors that will mess with the competitive balance of the league. owners need to figure it out, before they go back to, haves, and have nots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landeskog LTIR saves them 7 mill. Maybe they won't spend as much on a player like OEL, but he could provide good insurance for a 2nd pairing if/when Byram goes down at any point.
