NHL 2022 -out of town- NHL Off Season Thread

[EverettMike]

I'm just curious which parts of contracts we're supposed to say influences Pasta's and which are off limits? With Tkachuk and Mackinnon, their high bonus structure was going to influence Pasta's as well as their AAV. Now, with Barzal, are we supposed to only use the AAV and not the structure? Or do we pick and choose to our heart's content, or alternately, fire at anyone who dares say that a contract for the second or third best player in the world - who is a centerman - coming off a SC win won't influence Pasta's deal?

Your rules are quite unclear.

My rules? I believe that every contract influences Pasta's. The better the player, the more it influences it. The closer to him in terms of age, production, and UFA status, the more it influences Pasta's.

I'm not one of the absurd people on this forum who have looked at big contracts this offseason and said, "Has no influence on Pasta's," so not sure what you're talking about. You're literally describing the complete opposite of me and what I've said for months.

I'm the one who said Mackinnon's deal has no influence on Pasta's. And I'm comfortable saying none of the defensemen did either. Thinking that every contract influences Pasta's is crazy - that's not how it works. You think Pasta's agent saw what Mackinnon got and went and asked for more?

I'm glad we agree - you're the one with all the "rules" on which contracts matter and which ones don't. Good talk, happy we resolved this.

it's gone nowhere because honestly between SFA and Gas South Arena have almost been non hockey friendly to the sport regardless of what league Atlanta's been in, whether it was the Flames/Thrashers or the current dispute looming over Atlanta's Gladiators 20th anniversary season with the lease expected to expire after 2022/2023

Good luck with that Ace, that’d really piss off the Quebecors

Somehow, the Habs become even easier to root against. Didn’t think that was possible.

Only signed 4 years, trying to cash in on raised cap?

Does this mean that Pasta’s number has moved back down?

I believe the city's owed at least one chance with an ownership that actually wants the team. That still hasn't happened yet.

Nice work from Dallas' GM. He stuck to his guns.

Haha I think it can only go up at this point

Or back up….

DEPENDS ON THE ARENA, it's not SFA..... and from reports it may not be Gas South, either, if that arena in Gwinnett County isn't keen on keeping pro hockey there, whether it be the Gladiators or another franchise.... just because Turner's there as well as Anson Carter potentially being involved is where the comparisons stop.... even if Athens gets approved for a franchise, and that's not exactly a slam dunk is where that rumor got traction
