A bottom six line that excels in the POs is indispensable. The Cogs-Helm-LOC line up worked well in the POs. Obviously you can't say they'd be just as good again this time around but why not? They already were once before and LOC is versatile when he's on.
no idea, have never been. but my cousin works for an oil and gas company there and has had all manner of shit...
Gaudreau even admitted himself he was signing with NJ when Columbus called.
Pretty much how I see it. Probably felt like "well, Philadelphia doesn't have cap space so we'll lowball Johnny knowing we're the only team he wants." They didn't realize Gaudreau didn't really want to go home that bad.
I think it's more about prefering to go to Columbus than a case of NJ lowballing him. Gaudreau reportedly told his agent to make a deal with Columbus as soon as he heard they were interested.
I'd love to know what NJ offered because the guy turned down millions from Calgary to play in Columbus, yet he was hesitant to finalize a signing with New Jersey.
Q: What's the difference between LDS and LSD?
On that line of thinking I’m wondering if the Avs plan to sign anyone w/ remaining cap for more than a year. If we presume EJ‘s salary goes to re-up Mackinnon and if Newhook and/or Bryan have solid or great seasons they will probably need at least 5-6 million to sign both. Wouldn’t surprise me if for sure Toews or GIrard are traded for picks n prospects next off season.
If Byram and Newhook have great seasons, we’re probably looking at 10m minimum.
He said it himself he was basically a Devil by the time 4:00pm hit when the Blue Jackets called.
Don't be picking on my state. We ain't got **** to do with Canada.
I think what people are talking about are contract ages. If you assume 8 year contracts, you’re paying Tkachuk from age 24-32.
