Granlund is the one that amazes me. He's been a pretty consistent 60ish point guy for most of his career and is just 28 so relatively young for a UFA. In a pre-COVID world he likely gets 5x$6m from some team an hour into free agency. Hayes and JVR got more than that for lesser bodies of work. I put last year down to the Nashville black hole of offence, and even then he was on pace for 20g and 40pts. Instead, there's (reportedly) 10 weeks left until the season and he's seemingly garnered no interest. It seems at best he'll get a one year deal for sub $5m with the strong possibility that next year will result in the same thing. A team could probably get themselves a ton of surplus value by offering him a three year deal for like $4.75m per. I doubt he'd say no and it's a near certainty he'd wildly outperform that contract. At worst he's a decent third line two way forward who can sub in as a scorer with relative ease. Yet no team has any cap space so he sits and waits and the longer this goes on the more likely it is he signs in Russia or settles for a camp invite. It's a weird year.

I think the NHL own goal'd themselves by having the only salary cap that's so inflexible. NBA has all sorts of exceptions and the NFL cap is not real at all. The cap is never going away, but the players really should have negotiated for the equivalent of the NBA's MLE and all that stuff

I could see the Blue Jackets maybe doing something like that after they sort the PLD contract. Not a lot of teams with the space. I think Detroit might be best positioned to take advantage of it as well potentially New Jersey maybe paying a bit above the odds, but pump their stats and dump as rentals. Edit: The cap is so inflexible because multiple teams nearly spent themselves into chapter 11 lol.

Stars need scoring depth in the worst way and a piece or two like granlund would own. Buuuut they just had that run so the team will stay exactly the same and probably miss 2 out of the next 3 seasons as best. Plus the cap space is tight and they got like 0 playoff revenue for going to the finals so this is the team!

I know I'm quibbling and it's barely a part of your main point, but JVR's body of work before the current contract is one of the best you could get from a 27-28 year old UFA. Six seasons in a row (admittedly pro-rating the lockout season) of 25+ goals is rare. The Flyers contract is going to be bad because the big money contracts always pay declining players for past performances, but he went into UFA right in that sweet spot of age and production where he'd still be getting paid under this offseason's conditions.

That DGB articles reminded me of the time the Blackhawks lost all their RFAs one summer because Wirtz mailed all their qualifying offers instead of couriering/faxing them and they didn't arrive on time. In 2000 the Devils straight up forgot to qualify Rafalski and they had to pay him a ton more money than what he'd normally get because he became a free agent.

My boss is a massive Oilers fan, so how I've managed to keep my job is beyond me, but anyway he's literally been counting down the days until that 4x4 contract for Russell was done. Gawd I hope I get to break this news to him.

The Finnish league is chugging along despite positive corona tests popping up. Last week a player was pulled in the middle of a game. It was pretty cool when our tracking data was used to identify players in the game who had been close enough to said player tho be considered at risk.

This would be way better with white instead of red. They might have gone with gold, but they are already doing a gold one I guess. The wings better swap the red and white on the winged wheel itself for full credit on this inversion thing. Since we are on the subject... -Columbus, Chicago, Tampa, Florida (original), and Washington all have cool shoulder patches that would be cool on the chest. -When two teams with really different color schemes play, they should be able to both wear their darks. Like Detroit vs LA would be ok, NYR vs Montreal would not. It's easier for me to read the player's body language. -Not all patches should be on the chest. Stuff on the shoulders like NYR's Cup patch in 94, or St. Louis's 50 year patch below the sleeve numbers should be more common. A special patch and a C/A on the chest is too crowded. -More Goalies should wear colorful pads. Especially tertiary colors, Flames goalie in yellow, Oilers' goailie in orange, Canucks in green. Make that poo poo weird.

Keep in mind this will be the 20th anniversary season for the Wild and CBJ, so former jerseys for both of those teams would make almost too much sense. All those times where I would wear the CBJ Christmas tree Jersey as a one-off in the EA Games since 2008 would have been a prophecy in that case.
