I would like Boston to sign Pastrnak at 6M for 8 years, and for the love of god give him a NTC/NMC so we can't trade him for nebulous reasons. This is the only thing I care about this offseason.

Oh yeah I missed all the talk about that. What the hell was the point of trading Brayden Schenn? He's 25 and reliably scores 20+ a season. Over the last four seasons he's top 50 in total goals scored. I mean I get that he does a lot of it on the PP but so what? Goals are goals. It just didn't make any sense to me but I see people saying it's a win for Philly.

I mean, I guess that makes sense to me. Most players don't turn into 20 goal scorers though and I think having two "maybes" is worse than one sure thing. I suppose Hextall could always use the other 1st rounder as part of a deal or something. bewbies posted:Am unexcited about Brayden Schenn at that salary for that long. Seems fine to me. 5mil or whatever is maybe a bit much, but not offensively so, and he'll only be 28 when it ends so St. Louis is still getting some of his best years.

DJExile posted:The flyers aren't in win-now mode though (the blues may as well be), so near-term goal scoring doesn't do a lot for them anyway when they're still calling up more rookies and working out the rebuild. Brayden Schenn's a good player but I don't think he's quite been a "core" guy or however it's phrased these days. That's a fair point. If they're not in a win-now mode it makes sense to maximize the return and trade him now since he's not likely to get any better, or cheaper, by the time younger guys are ready. And you're right that Schenn doesn't strike me as the type of expensive veteran type you'd want to still have around 3-4 years from now compared to Giroux/Voracek/Wayne. I guess I was mostly just surprised he was moved at all since it kind of came out of nowhere

Selanne is a lock. Recchi should finally get in. I still think it's wild that Andreychuk isn't in considering he has 600+ goals.

its extremely easy to be top 15 all time in goals and 30 in points just by playing a long time, which is why everyone does it

ya that's a bit on the high side but good for the Caps to retain him. I always forget he's younger than I think.

DO YALL WANT A BOXC posted:wow cammalleri, jokinen, and hayes can all definitely help a team still. would not be surprised to see jokinen back on the pens Actually Hayes is garbage. He had one goal in November, one goal in December, and that was it in 58 games. He sucks at holding on to the puck, looks like poo poo when he does have it, barely shoots, can't backcheck, and he's a big guy who doesn't hit. He brings nothing to the table.

congratulations to oilers management on tricking a guy who is barely not a teenager into taking 1 million less dollars per year and framing it as "McDavid was uncomfortable with 13.25 million but 12.25 million is fine" and also for getting him to sign for 8 years and forego the poo poo loads of money he'd get as a UFA

*whiny bitch voice* crosby scores 0.13 more points per 60 minutes
|
# ¿ Jul 5, 2017 20:28 |

what you guys are forgetting, and really have to keep in mind, is that if crosby and mcdavid played the exact same amount then crosby would score a whole extra point for every 10 hours of icetime.

on one hand I'd feel bad if Sean Avery got ripped off that badly because that really sucks, but on the other hand he's a shithead and he also got to bang celebrities and play in the NHL, so maybe I don't actually feel bad for him.

Ya I forgot how fun prospect camps are. Boston's pick this year, Vakananeaiansian or whatever the gently caress that finnish name is, looks real good. His skating is incredible for someone his age. He's been playing pro in the Finnish league for two years though so I'm sure that's why. He looks more NHL-ready than I expected, but he's also skating against other prospects so my perception of how good he is is probably skewed.

ya I guess Brian Burke has done some ok stuff after all Also I would like to know what exactly Don Sweeney is doing and why Pastrnak hasn't been given a 6.5 mil a year for the next 8 years, or whatever the gently caress he wants, yet.

Seems like a good deal to me. Slavin is real good and he's only 23. Contract could look like a bargain in a hurry.

# ¿ Jul 12, 2017 17:35 |

I probably catch 20 or so Canes games a year and my impression is that Hanifin is fine. He's still only 19 and averaged like 18-20 minutes a game. His numbers improved across the board so, like you said, I think it's just going to be a bit of a slow development and he'll have a breakout year sometime soon. He's definitely real close. He bounced around and had a few partners, but when Hainsey was traded to Pittsburgh he started getting a lot more important minutes and his statistics were even better than when he was getting sheltered/depth minutes. It wouldn't surprise me if he takes a big step forward, in terms of offensive production, next season considering how well he played at the tail end of last year. They usually play him with Pesce or Faulk and he has a lot of good chemistry with those guys.

Slavin is actually really good, people just don't pay attention to the Hurricanes.
