I don't really get the "woe is me" reaction to that cap news.
Whether the cap was staying flat or going up substantially, Auston was going to be getting his $15M+ on his next deal regardless. So better that we'll have more overall cap space to work with when that happens.
I'd have to think Auston actually cares about winning.
By that do you mean you think he'll take less?
For reference's sake, when Crosby signed his deal, it was for 14.5% of his team's cap. And Ovechkin's big long-term deal was for about 16.5% of his team's cap space back when he signed it. Under a $92M cap, an equivalent deal for Auston would be about $13.5-15M.
Don't joke about Engvall. I'm still getting over Mikky, though if he plans to be injured for most of his time there, I'll grieve his loss with ease.
right up until free agency hits and he expects them to sign vastly below market deals to stay (which is then used as justification to support resigning them ad nauseam), and then gets disappointed when they accept market value to go somewhere else.It's adorable tbh
Didn't see the other games but I'll give this one a gander tonight. Very curious to see what the Holmberg hype is about. And yeah, Robertson has to be a standout for once.
