Yet it's such a glaringly obvious thing to do. He's so stinking good in that zone and if allowed, I believe he could help with the slop-assed entries too.

Letting Provorov skate with the puck and lead rushes would also help, but AV isn't big on compromising his vision of ideal hockey to do something silly like make use of his players' strengths

Finally Chuck is drawing the line and trying to squeeze some value in a deal. Respect.

He’s a short timer. The Ristolainen trade sealed his fate. No need to pay the man when he’s headed out the door soon.

Since we have no idea what has been offered by either side, kinda early to jump to conclusions.

Its impossible to know what an agent and the GM are talking about regarding contracts, so we shouldnt jump to conclusions.
We do know, definitively, though, that Chris Stewart wasnt brought in and given a contract to be a regular, despite being used that way out of the gate. We can absolutely draw that conclusion.
Honestly, I don't get how you play both sides of the coin whenever the feeling suits. What a life to live.

Sanheim’s not that good ya know.
He’s only tied for 10th among all defenseman in 5v5 points (among defenseman with 3500+TOI at 5v5) from 2018-2021. 9th during that same timeframe in 5v5 point/60. He’s the Flyers best generator of offense from the backend at 5v5.
He’s a very valuable asset.

Please do a deal with Sanheim before Nurse pulls in 9M...

How do you not understand how and why he does what he does still? How many more years of this?

Can any of the league really use anything Edmonton does as an actual benchmark for value? Whenever EDM does a thing, that should be a Jeremy Clarkson "well, anyway" meme moment as we all move on.
If Sanheim comes in hot pointing at stuff Edmonton does, a solid rebuttal is "yeah but that's Edmonton, not the real world."

Morrissey is a much better comparable than Nurse. His first post ELC deal was 2 x $3.15m. When he signed his second deal for 8 x $6.25m, his previous three seasons were:
77 P (63 ES) in 222 games at 20:37.
Since then, Buff and Trouba left so he's played more and scored more.

I know the cool thing to do is dump on Risto but I am willing to wait . Dahlin was a fantastic D man in my eye and has way under preformed in that SHIT Buffalo situation . Hopefully in a different situation he can become what we hope he will be .
My biggest disappointment this off season was not taking that extra money we dumped on Yandle and Thompson and added it to what we gave Jones and got a much higher caliber goalie .

To be fair, those roster slots would have to be filled by someone, and the difference between Yandle/Thompson and two JAGs is $200,000 (Yandle's making $150K over minimum, Thompson's making $50K over minimum), so we'd have been able to offer $2.2M instead of $2M for a goalie. That's just shy of Reimer's AAV, literally 1 goalie up the list from Jones. The issue with Jones is player evaluation, more than anything else; there wasn't much more Chuckles could do from a cap perspective.

Thompson and Yandle are on minimum contracts. Their money would not have had an impact on a goalie contract.
Ristolainen also doesn’t get the wait and see treatment considering the price. He has to be good from the jump.

The point was that Nurse plays horrible defense and benefits from two of the best players in the game.
If he gets 9M then Sanheim might as well ask for 6M+.

If you don't get Yandle and Thompson and replace them on the roster with young players like York and Rubtsov, you don't have any extra money for a goalie.
