I thought it was $8.6M x 6 which of course works out to $51.6M... $2.6M than what the Flames offered.Was it 7 years? Because I heard that was an AAV offered, but never saw the second part.

The point is he didn't want to sign with a bottom feeder team , jeezuz you guys are so busy quibbling over the meaningless part of the post you can't grasp the basic truth .I thought it was $8.6M x 6 which of course works out to $51.6M... $2.6M than what the Flames offered.
Okaaaaay....The point is he didn't want to sign with a bottom feeder team , jeezuz you guys are so busy quibbling over the meaningless part of the post you can't grasp the basic truth .
To the bolded point:
Of course there's more to it than possession, but the gap between Weegar and Gudbranson is certifiably massive. Also note he can easily be billed as better at defence than offence with a massive impact on transition defence. At bare minimum he was the #2 d-men capable of putting up solid point totals without significant PP TOI. At best he was a psuedy 1/2 that seamlessly took over with Ekblad out. All with sterling possession metrics over the past 3 years.
I think it's apparent the difference between Weegar and Gudbranson is massive. Now does that make up the difference between Kadri and Huberdeau vs. Tkachuk and Gaudreau? Who knows. The Flames are certainly a deeper team at centre and at D (significantly deeper on both fronts) with somewhat depleted winger depth. With one more winger on the team I think people should be hard-presed to say the Flames are a worse team. But as it stands, I think it's close.
Called it!Absolutely hate it.
If it’s a 7m aav this legit sucks day 1. If he regresses back to his production of the last few years, we’re paying 7m to get marginally better backlund
You could always play Backlund on the 3rd line if you dont care/need your second line to be functionalAnd, as posted before, Kadri allows the Flames to play Backlund on the 3rd line. I am a Backs fan and the team is stronger with him at 3C verses 2C.
Wonder if you are still around Johnny?He’s incredible. I love everything about his game. Defensively he’s been awesome, his speed is so evident based on his goal that will be shown all season. He’s a jerk to play against, he’s a fantastic passer and can score. Most importantly, he’s given us 2 top lines.
5 on 5Not ready to give up on Kadri. He's about to pop off. He's leading the team, or top 2 on the team in Shots/60, IcF/60, iSCF/60. I know he's -8 but he's not getting caved in defensively. He was -4 last night, on a rough night by Vladar.
Come on. Relative to his teammates, where he has the highest deployment of any forward other than Lindholm, whom is also bottom 5 for on ice counting stats in those categories. Are you going to tell me Walker Dueher is the best defensive forward on the team because he has the lowest scoring chances against? Look at Dennis Gilbert, the sheltered 3rd pairing D-man! barely any SCA relative to the rest of the D-corps. Offensive zone starts are irrelevant.5 on 5
Leads all forwards on the team in scoring chances against
Leads all forwards on the team in high danger chances against
Last of all forwards on the team in xGF%
Last of all forwards in SCF%
Last of all forwards in HDCF%
Last of all forwards in SF%
Leads the team in offensive zone start % (80%)
He's getting caved in defensively.
