Hmmmmm.... Trouba. But it won't ever happen.

Umm. I don't get that move.

 

[Congo Jack]

Maybe he told Dundon he'd be willing to work for minimum wage?

 

[Pokecheque]

Jeff Daniels was already there so they had to get Dean to fill out the "Dumber" part.

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Sorry, I messed up the link. Fixed

 

[Pokecheque]

NOW I see it, thanks.

I think that's a really smart signing. Reasonable term and $$$ for a very good defensive forward with size. What a tremendous value pickup for that organization.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Such a good signing for the jets. Probably the best bottom 6 forward in the league. Or at least one of them.

I agree. Huge fan of Lowry.

Gets $30m over 5. Pretty fair deal for both sides.

I don’t think he’s elite at anything nor will he ever be, but above average in every department and probably zero concerns of not meeting the value of the contract.

So if I understand this right, that leaves Minny with $3.9m to sign Zucker. Seems like they will have to move someone.

Obviously the contract Barrie signs in 2 years, right?

It seems to put the Wild in a tough position at the moment in terms of the cap. They have been rumored to be shopping a few players this offseason (Coyle, Niederreiter). I would love to see Zucker on the Avs, but it would be difficult to pull off.

 

[Tweaky]

In the mock, I gave Dumba $5.5Mx8years. Guess I am a better negotiator . Also gave Zucker $5Mx7y, while dumping Niederreiter and not signing the old dudes. I did pay Murphy an extra $150k though.

According to capfriendly, they have $5.645M to sign Zucker, and an extra skater is included in the total. Assuming Seeler is the one that gets sent down, that gives the $6.37M in space, and any of the other waiver exempt players would save even more. I think they are fine in that regard. Next summer might be a bit tougher, with 6 guys needing new contracts and only $9M in space...Staal being the priciest of the bunch. Doable, but some hoops will be needing jumped through.

Damn someone’s gonna get Coyle or Nino for a good price out east

Find someone to be our Doug Wilson and front a trade with the Wild.

Seems like Capfriendly had too many players on Minnesota's roster but it's been updated and it looks like the Wild have $5.5m+ to get Zucker signed. That seems doable without any major changes.
I like Niederreiter a lot and it seems like he would most likely be available due to his contract and him having off year last year. I'd be thrilled if the Avs can get him but it seems unlikely.

Depends if he can duplicate the offensive production he put up this year. If he returns to a 35 point kind of guy, I wouldn't want to pay him that much. His level of play defensively isn't high enough.

Especially with $15M tied up for the next seven years in 33/34 year olds Parise/Suter.

 

[Foppberg]

I want to love it but, I dunno. Something is just off. Hopefully the full set will look better. Shoulder patches look way out of place.

Everything about the shoulders are bad but I would still cop one if the players and fans weren't so full of shit.

 

[UncleRisto]

while dumping Niederreiter

What kind of buffoon would trade for that chump?

Everything about the shoulders are bad but I would still cop one if the players and fans weren't so full of ****.

Why would you do that with the shoulders? I mean it's okay on it's own but why doesn't the yoke match the stripes at all?

 

[S3rkie]

The shoulders are awful and it just looks off because it should be eggplant like the original. The black doesn't mesh well with the green imo. Also the fact that they put eggplant accents on the jersey without fully committing makes it suffer like the vgk jerseys there's just too many tones and colors going on for it to feel cohesive.

Colors: White, Grey, Orange, Black, Green, Eggplant, and if you count the shoulder patch, Gold and another type of silver.
