Impo this is a bad comparison. McDavid signed his deal in 2017 when the cap was 75mil. So with inflation that same deal signed today is 13.695 million when accounting for inflation only. You'd have to use that number and then compare and you're still comparing the best player in hockey which is always dicey.

Point of clarification. If neither player gets any better and they just maintain their current levels, both deals are good and Tage's is robbery.

I wish we could pry David Jiricek away from CBJ. That really would finish out the top 4 perfectly. I guess at this point I have to hope Reinbacher is like Jiricek light and we draft him.

5) Chicago 4) Detroit 3) Columbus

Lies! I think there was a video of him piggybacking on Jack Quinn in the Bahamas (Im kidding this is a joke).

If this reaction by me is "running around with pitchforks on the attack" I honestly am okay with that because that means the threshold for "attack" is simply any questioning of the source. Skooby could be anything and they can return and expand upon their content if they want.

I mean that's part of the gag though.

"Cozens is a Canada lad and there's no doubt in our minds he would love to play for Leafs being from Canada and all" - Some Toronto person in the near future.

This is why those around here looking down on the Östlund, Kisakov, Rosen, type of players should be a little more patient. Jack Hughes was amazing and just needed some time to get up to strength to do that in the NHL.

You accused everyone who had an issue with someone saying Kim and Terry having to deal with a major healthy issue was good for both the Sabres and Bills was guilty of "cancel culture" ... but sure personal attacks are dismaying. That is true. To be fair I think you are wrong, but I don't know if you are wrong.

Or put another way...

hahaha I math good today. he is certainly better than 10.56 teams 2nd line center.

lol

If we can get Dahlin at 9.75x8... oh my what a deal.

SO based on Dom's stuff this is a slight overpay but I think Dom's model as he himself notes, is underselling Dylan a bit.

Go look up Horvat's career shooting percentage and then what he is doing this year.

A couple of things. Cozens has not been up and down, he has steadily progressed each season he has played, this being his 3rd year. If you were to chart out the top 2 centers on every NHL team right now, I can guarantee you that Dylan Cozens would fall in the top 2/3. He is certainly better than 8 other teams 2nd center.

The NYI just locked up their top 2 centers to a combined 17.65mil so we should be pretty happy especially when one of ours is only about to turn 22.

I want you to look up Bo Horvat's career shooting percentage and his current shooting percentage.

Dylan Cozens is currently projected to finish the season with 81games 28goals 43assists for 71points. All he would need to do is maintain his current rate of play, not improve, just maintain. Either this offseason or next the cap will probably jump 6million bucks. It has been kept artificially low so the players can pay back escrow from the covid times and also Seattle's income has not fully been added to the ledger again because of the covid.

For as much crap as Adams' has gotten from the fans the moves to add Karmanos and Venura are consistently overlooked.
