I love the rumors of threats of offer sheets. Empty threats.
Yup. I'll believe it when I see it

Is Panarin worth 4 Million more per year than Skinner?
He's considerably better. Granted, I had expected that "considerably" to amount to $2M.

Luke Schenn to Tampa one year 700k
I continue to not understand Tampa's decisions on the blue line.

I really loved those OKC teams.
They were so fun. And then the owner decided Harden wasn't worth an extra $4M, so they traded him for magic beans that never sprouted. Such a shame.

I think Kyrie is the piece that bothers me. He got game but I question his decision making.
It's definitely not great, but if Durant could play with Westbrook, he can play with Kyrie. Of course, Westbrook knew what defense was, so there's that.

And with that, the Leafs have now gotten out of all of Lamoriello's bad contracts.

I honestly kinda hate that combo of players. I don't think they'll be good, at all. Just not a good fit.
Jordan covers for Kyrie defensively, while Kyrie and Durant both have complete offensive games. Kyrie could stand to be a better playmaker, but still. What's not to like? Again, this assumes Durant returns to form.

Is Kyrie that much of an improvement over DeAngelo?
No, but I don't think they had the cap space to add Durant and Jordan if they had to give Russell the max.

Well I'll be damned. That's actually a reasonable AAV for Duchene, even if the term is still scary.

Pavelski makes a ton of sense, but Perry is approaching Okposo-level cooked. He might get there this year.

Wow. So I feel for his health problems, I really do. But he pisses all over Buffalo to the media when it was also reported how Botts helped him through his mental health problems. Then the Isles take a chance on him. It works out and they offer him $10 million friggen dollars for two more years. He says thanks but no thanks despite that setting you up for life. ***** you Robin.
Well, that's a pretty extreme reaction. He was just nominated for the Vezina, I don't think wanting more commitment than 2 years is out of line at all. I wouldn't give it to him, mind you, but it's not an unreasonable ask.

I'm not going to go over the semantics of the projection based scenario, the truth is, we don't know what Dahlin is going to cost, but 10 to 12 mil is definitely on the extreme high end given what true impact forwards are getting today, and we are only 2 seasons away from the next contract.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, and, based on historical D man signings, not very far, if it all on that limb, and say 10 to 12 million is NOT going to happen, not even close.
But, I humbly digress, I hope to be proven wrong, hell, I pray so. But history is on my side.
History would only be on your side if Dahlin-caliber prospects came around often. They don't. He's in the McDavid and Crosby class, he just plays a different position.

And some projection gives you Okposo contracts. Projection plays a roll, but In the end, the MacKinnon's are more era expectation based as opposed to a trade, which is chemistry based.
What? Projections on Okposo were baaaaaaaad.

I still firmly believe the trade that makes the most sense for Buffalo is a 1 for 1 trade, Ristolainen for Ehlers.
Concvince me I'm wrong...……………...
You're not wrong, I'm just not sure where we're getting a 2C from if it's not Risto.

I don't agree, respectfully.
Everything is merit based, or should be, less we fall in to a contract that comes back to bite us in the ole buttocks.
Should it be? I don't think so. Players should be paid for what they will do over the life of the contract, not for what they did on their previous contract. One may inform the other to some degree, but it's not a simple merit system at all. A strict merit system gives you Okposo contracts. Some projection gives you MacKinnon contracts.

Maybe, but WHAT if he doesn't?
My point being, 10 - 12 mil is way premature.
Prospects like Dahlin who have the rookie season he did are an incredibly safe bet.

Dahlin 10 to 12 mil?
Where on earth are you getting those numbers from?
Because honestly, in his rookie season, I'm seeing a D man 2nd contract at 6 to 8 million. He didn't win the Calder, he wasn't anywhere nears an impact that warrants those numbers, and while, yes, he has HUGE upside potential, until he truly shows it, IF he ever does, then we can talk those numbers, but as of right now, today, 1st pick over all or not, he is NOT worth 10 to 12 million.
1 minute ago, #freejame said:Yeah I’ve been thinking people are way overestimating Dahlin’s second contract. $10-12m would be by far the biggest second contract ever for a defenseman.
Dahlin was significantly better as a rookie than Aaron Ekblad, who signed for $7.5M on his second contract that was good for 10.27% of the cap at the time. 10.27% of the cap 2 years from now will probably be around $8.75M. Unless Dahlin doesn't improve, I think $10M+ is very possible, perhaps even likely.

Eichel 10 Million
Skinner 9 Million
Dahlin 10-12 Million?
Reinhart 7.5-8.5 Million per year.
And Hoffman’s starting point will be 8 Million per in negotiations and with approximately 40 million going to be tied up in those players, I’m not paying someone who does not drive offensive play or is not responsible in his own zone that type of money.
Plus there is the matter of a certain soon to be Mrs Hoffman, who helped fracture the Ottawa Lockerroom.
If Krueger can get the room back together, why bring in a potential catalyst back into the room in the long term.
She's still in the picture?

Can't believe the Nets actually pulled it off. Durant, Kyrie, and Jordan? Assuming Durant can return to form (not a given with an achillies injury), they'll be a lot of fun to watch.

Dahlin will command $10 mill plus in a few years
Yea but by then we'll be able to use a compliance buyout on Okposo following the next lockout ?

Because EROD is a lot better then you give him credit for. If they are smart they lock him up for four years at around $2.5M per year.
Personally, I think we're better off doing this and then signing Nyquist than trading Erod and/or McCabe for Hoffman. Hoffman himself probably commands more next year than Nyquist and Erod combined.
Edit: More to this. Hoffman is a tremendous PP weapon, but his even strength play leaves much to be desired. Nyquist is the opposite.

And I still ask why. If this team was halfway decent erod would be in rochester. He is a borderline nhl talent.
I disagree. I think he's a legitimate depth player, even if he's not a prolific goal scorer personally. Obviously Hoffman is better, but 3 years of data say Erod is legit.
