Around the League 2019-2023 Edition

[Preston]

Yeah, but for every JVR/Kane there is a Horton, Eriksson, Neal, Okposo. It has to be less than 50/50.

Oh definitely. Just saying that this is a better player than most of them at better value. I was hoping that I'd be able to laugh harder at this contract is all.

 

[leafman101]

I don't mind the strategy of giving players max term to bring the cap hit down. That is what the Hawks did, and they are just dealing with the ramifications the last few years after their window closed.

But Holland isn't giving those contracts to prime Hossa and Keith. He is giving out Seabrook contracts.

 

[BG]

He won't put up big points, but he'll become fast friends with McDavid and play the same complimentary game he did with Matthews/Tavares. Low maintenance/high-drive winger.

 

[zeke]

Cap likely starts going up big time in a couple years.

 

[zeke]

Hyman probably goes to Edmonton and scores 30 goals

He's been on pace for 29, 34, 24 his last 3yrs here so yeah its a safe bet. Especially since he'll likely get more PP time.

 

[BG]

Lol.

So a lot of the junk Seattle drafted in front of their hometown crowd and on live TV was actually junk that other teams wanted, and will be dealt away today for other picks/players?

What a league!

Seattle trades Pitlick to Calgary

6-8 weeks for Price - just bumps and bruises.

Shady, very shady.

I was told Zach would take a hometown discount because all that filthy Toronto endorsement money would make up the diff.

Careful, LoF will just tell you to stop talking to people.

 

[Habsy]

More confirmation!






Betcha Dubas offered 4 or 4.5 tops.

Ok, I'm sorry but requesting a NMC from Edmonton? You mean there's a worse place to play in the league?

Sometimes people talk over the poker table. All part of the game. If he really wanted to retain Price, and I believe Bergevin did, he played this masterfully.

 

[CH1]

Weber out for the year....and most probably beyond

 

[mbow30]

I’m Surprised Sea didn’t take Price seeing as how Fleury panned out for LV.

 

[zeke]

Kicking himself for missing that playoff run.

 

[CH1]

decent chance Drouin surprises to the upside #FrancisFuckedUp

not sure if serious but it is my understanding that all medicals for unprotected players have to be provided

 

[LeafOfFaith]

People, people, stop talking to Habsy already.

 

[MindzEye]

Weber out for the year....and most probably beyond

He's just preparing to be ready for game 1 of the playoffs....


He'll be watching it on TV, but he'll be ready.

Yes, they do but Friedman mentioned some other teams thought Montreal was trying to game the system re: the leaks he could miss the entire year + Price's specialist appointment not being until today.
