Parayko's value was super high at that time.
That's impossible to know. I'm sure his value was really high on here due to him being a darling to fans. He's literally every "potential dwellers" wet dream. 6'6", highly mobile, heavy shot. That being said, Id bet there is a chance that for someone as solidified as Hall was people may have valued Shattenkirk (a proven elite PPQB and puck mover) as higher value and a way to jump start an offense. Good chance someone wants to know what they're getting as opposed to hoping for the best, especially when their job is on the line.
So Fabbri is training in Toronto. DA said he's putting in the work.
Question: bridge contract for next year to eval where he is at....
OR multi-year contract for less money than his peers due to the injury and the unknown?
The bridge is the small risk answer, but what if he has a great year after the bridge contract and asks for a lot more money? Then the multi-year contract for less money was the better option (in the team's perspective).
If I'm Fabbri I'm asking for a 1m 1 year contract. If I'm the team I'm wanting 2 years at 1m or so. Willing to bet he plays on a year on a cheap contract to establish and prove his value more accurately. This is his living we're talking about.
Sounded like theyll be counting on thomas thompson kyrou and fabbri to step up next year and start making an impact , pretty curious for what the offseason will bring
I took it the other way. I do believe he is giving them strong consideration, but I do remember at one point he said something along the lines of he's not so sure bringing up a bunch of young guys is the way to get the team to the level they want and need to be at. I may have misheard though.
I thought overall it was a pretty good presser for what it seems Army is capable of. As for Yeo, not so much. He stated along the lines of on the powerplay relying on their top guys because they were too guys for too long and hopes to change that.
Well no shit Micheal I think anyone who watched a majority of the games in the last 20 or so games could tell you that the powerplay without Tarasenko and with Dunn and Pietrangelo on the points and Steen and Schenn switching off net fronts was leagues better than the idea of passing around the perimeter and having Tarasenko go rover from the point to try and force a shot. Is it that ridiculous to expect a coach in the highest league in the world to I don't know maybe make a damn adjustment before the season is trashed??
I mean seriously I'm willing to bet we see the same stubbornness and unwillingness to make adjustments and not defer to the players who are getting paid the most. Pushing Bouwmeester out on the top pairing when clearly he is hampering the team is just another example.
