I’m no Zucker expert but that sounds like a gross underpayment. Need more to offset that contract

If the fans pushed out RoR then JBott should be fired. No GM should take fans into consideration when making a deal. If the team wins, they’ll get over it.

When interviewing coaches, a GM should be looking for a coach who fits his model. When considering accepting a job, a coach should be contemplate whether or not the players available and the GM are suitable for the style he wants to play. Beyond that, no GM should consider the coach when evaluating players. The GM should already be certain the have a coach that fits their system and that the player will succeed in that system.

I think most of us have been there...

Evander Kane wasn’t going to sign here. He was moved at the deadline because of it. This happens to teams every season. It’s called maximizing your assets. He does not factor into anything anymore. He would have walked for nothing. Jbott got something. I’m sick of reading his name.

Re: RaKru

I’d rather have Sam for 8 more years than Skinner for 8 more. I’d say we’re lucky if it comes in under 8 at this point. Should have been closer to 7.

He was 63rd in points last year. How is that not top line production?

There’s some pretty big punches in there. I wonder when people are going to understand the seriousness of what can happen when they punch people in the head/get punched in the head? I don’t mean legally either.

Can you provide a link or a breakdown yourself of the upcoming cap space? We are now at ~$11m for this off-season, correct?

200 more goals puts Skinner roughly at 60th all-time in goals. I have a very hard time believing Jeff Skinner will go down as the 60th best goal scorer in NHL history.

I’m 83% sure that if you look through the main Skinner contract thread that he’s reported something similar before.

Hasn’t this been reported a million times? What makes this time different?

Oof. This just confirms my theory that I’m the smartest of the bunch /s

People fighting in the stands aren't concerned/don’t understand the impact it’ll have on them.

Is today the worst meme day in board history? I feel like I’m back in 2013.

Right handed 40+point defensemen absolutely have much more value than second line wingers though.

Boston are the Nazis and RoR is Russia. You hate to see Russia do well, but if it means besting the Nazis, so be it. Ive been wrong before though.

What does a Blackhawk have to do with this series?

He signed a one year deal in the five range last offseason. I’ve got no interest in him at ~$8.5m. That would be harder to stomach than Skinner at $9m

I thought they traded for Saad back to try to get Toews working again (and cap)

He just had an interview in the athletic a few days ago and I wouldn’t call it anywhere near shitting on Buffalo. Anyone remember the clip of Jack screaming “f*ck” while walking down the tunnel after a loss? I don’t remember that being negatively received. Plenty of players get fired up and act out. It’s normal. There’s a lot of revision going on. Also, I’ve seen many posters alluding to COR being a cancer and negatively impacting Nylander. I don’t remember the incident nor can I ever find anything on google. Can someone elaborate? Didn’t Nylander live with him?

It’s not close to many of the lists I’ve seen either
