Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
Dom has a pretty good article on the Athletic about the recent Marner signing. Essentially, he projects to provide more value than his deal, even if he regresses this year (which he probably will). He makes the argument that the difference between a star and an average player is immense (~3 wins compared to 1), and it's better to pay for your stars, because the difference between depth and the bottom isn't as huge. Depth has been getting overpaid relative to their production.

He ends it by saying that the Leafs paying elite talent is a good problem to have. While they may be treading on uncharted ground because no other team has paid their stars this much relative to the rest of their team, the talent the Leafs have also produce a lot of value.

I think he made a beautiful post and did a great job and he is good.
Enjoy your fake community service Kuzy.

quote:

ARLINGTON, Va. – Washington Capitals forward Evgeny Kuznetsov has released the following statement on the National Hockey League’s three game suspension:

“I have decided to accept the NHL’s suspension today. I am once again sorry that I have disappointed my family, my teammates, and the Capitals organization and fans. I promise to do everything in my power to win you back with my actions both on and off the ice. I also understand that I am fortunate to have an opportunity to make things right. Thanks to the Capitals, NHL, and NHLPA, I have taken many steps in the right direction and I’m confident that I will continue on that path. I am grateful for everyone’s support and I’m looking to move forward from this point. While I can appreciate that people may have additional questions, I will not be commenting further on this matter.”

How do I shot puck!?
Did the Jets have to obtain copyrights for that from the Coyotes? I don't know how that kind of thing works.

Problem leafs will have is if one of those stars gets injured and they don't have depth down the lineup to makeup for it because they're basically spending all their money on a few players. I still think there's way too much talent on that team that they don't win a cup in the next 3 years though

I'm ok with this.
Some of you are also forgetting that depth for the current Leafs includes people like Kapanen and Johnnson. Our depth is fine. What killed us last year was our incredibly lovely lower end defence because Babcock has a hard on for old lovely plugs.

I don't get the Wild at all. Are they going for it? It seemed like they were rebuilding at the deadline, then they signed Zucc and then fired their gm. Now they're doubling down on their current core? Spurgeon would've collected a king's ransom if they traded him.

Levitate posted:

in news no one cares about, Quinn says the initial plan is to play Buchnevich with Panarin and Zibanejad, and Kakko and Kravtsov will have to "earn" top six minutes.

Which...isn't crazy, why throw them in, it's easy enough to change lines if necessary.

Sounds like Chytil will get a crack at 2C with Kreider and likely Kakko. Andersson and Howden both getting looks at C as well to fill out the roster.

I care! I’m also ok with it, give me that Russian connection :ussr:
