so clearly we have only scratched the surface of Hockey Canada's depravity...

 

[MindzEye]

$11 mill?

9.5-10 if he does more of last season

 

[Wayward DP]

I think about 33 million Canadians agree (adjusted for aholes that don't care).

hey there's like 36 mill of us now! unless that was the fraction you were aiming for...

 

[Wayward DP]

Gives us a good idea of where Willy is going to be i guess

isn't Barzal > Willy? at least cause he's a C?

 

[MindzEye]

Yep, I'm waiting for the mass graves at this point

 

[MindzEye]

I would take willy over barzal personally, even with the position difference

 

[hockeylover]

Man, I'm sure they're glad they got Barzal resigned but the Islanders really have most of the roster locked in next year and not a ton of cap space for upgrades.

Which I guess is fine if you think they're good (I don't).

 

[Preston]

Love Barzal. On a better team with better linemates, with a better PP, I think he can get back to PPG land. He's realgud.

 

[JackBurton]

Without Trotz he would have gotten more. Got 59 points last year. Had 85 as a rookie without Trotz. That style kills all creativity

 

[Artnes]

I think Trotz was a scapegoat for lack of roster quality. He did the best with what he had in front of him

 

[hockeylover]

I think he'll have more points but I'm not sure they'll be better. I think Trotz and the goalies masked a shit team.

We'll find out I guess.

To TOR: Pageau (30, $5.0 x4yrs)
To NYI: Kerfoot ($3.5 x1yrs), Engvall ($2.0 x1yrs), Holl ($2.0 x1yrs)

Hell yeah. He was a victim of his own success. They had no business having the success they did. It was on him.

Yup. Rough season last year but the talent is there and he'll be fine in the long run. I think it's probably a fair price, there is risk of course but there always is with these long-term deals.

 

[MindzEye]

To TOR: Pageau (30, $5.0 x4yrs)
To NYI: Kerfoot ($3.5 x1yrs), Engvall ($2.0 x1yrs), Holl ($2.0 x1yrs)

 

[axlsalinger]

It is kind of interesting, Pageau has the potential to be a super-elite 3C.

 

[runninglow]

To TOR: Pageau (30, $5.0 x4yrs)
To NYI: Kerfoot ($3.5 x1yrs), Engvall ($2.0 x1yrs), Holl ($2.0 x1yrs)

Yuck.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

To TOR: Pageau (30, $5.0 x4yrs)
To NYI: Kerfoot ($3.5 x1yrs), Engvall ($2.0 x1yrs), Holl ($2.0 x1yrs)

What the hell, man. That would be awful.

The return that each of those three would get separately is worth more than what Pageau would get.

 

[BG]

I'd rather keep Kerfoot/Engvall and take a pick for Holl that can be flipped at the deadline.

 

[axlsalinger]

What the hell, man. That would be awful.

The 2 guys this board has been trying to jettison all summer long and Hockey Scissorhands?

Pageau's a real good two-way C. Numbers dropped off last year just like 100% of his teammates. I'm not saying I'd do this deal, just that it is kind of interesting.
