To put a cherry on top of that Goodrow contract, they gave him a 15 team NTC. Six years and the ability to block a trade to half the league, for a 4th line player - it's just absurd from any angle.

Jesus , that’s a long ass time. What a mistake that 8 year contract was for him

DeAngelo officially bought out, hopefully he has a terrible time in Russia.

Yep, absolute insanity that he signed such a long term contract in Edmonton of all places, and it's not like they were showing signs of turning it around leading up to the extension either. Basically assured himself no chance of winning a cup before 2026.

For a contending team that seems like the type of tandem you settle for as Plan F after exhausting all opportunities to add a legit starter or in the very least a tandem with more upside. I'm puzzled that they are pushing for those two both right now, could see one or the other as a decent 1B
lol seriously. If they sign both of those guys, it seems like they’re going to get worse in goal for the same money.

Buchnevich for peanuts is insane. Maybe I gotta start questioning why bob isn't in on any of these crazy trades...

Bob probably has a hangover and will be awake just in time to make an off the board draft pick at #3 overall.
How couldn’t we offer more? Nick + 2nd is more valuable… Buch would have been awesome with Z…

Sharks have a very nice prospect trio now with Eklund, Bordeleau & Wiestblatt.
I look forward to seeing how Zegras, Beniers, Eklund, Krebs, Byfield matchup against each other in the division in the coming years.

Man, the Panthers have an impressive forward group now:
Duclair-Barkov-Verhaeghe
Huberdeau-Bennett-Reinhart
Vatrano/Tippett/Denisenko-Lundell-Hornqvist
Duclair-Barkov-Verhaeghe
Huberdeau-Bennett-Reinhart

Yeah they are a decent team. They put up a huge fight against the Bolts in the playoffs.
Funny how Bennett and Reinhart end up there, likely on the same line. In their draft year they were compared a lot. And Florida picked #1 that year in Ekblad, in order to complete the ''fantastic 4'' of that draft year (all first 4 drafted players), they would just need to get Draisaitl

He was a big piece of the Panthers run (which was a short one because Bolts). I think that's a solid contract.

It's a bit much but it's obvious the situation in Calgary is a disaster. I'd offer a shitload to pry Tkachuk out of there and if we didn't have Zegras, I would kick the tires on Gaudreau.
That organization sucks
I could easily see Bennett being a 25+25 player in Florida, which is worth the money

If he can hit those numbers he’s worth the money, sure but as of right now he didn’t have the leverage to get that money. I would have offered him what they offered Duclair personally.
It’s like the Matthews and Marner contracts in Toronto. Not bad contracts but neither player had the leverage to get what they were paid, especially given neither gave max term.
It's not only about points tho. Bennett was averaging 20+ minutes in the playoffs IIRC

Again that’s over a 5 game sample size (he also singled handedly cost his team a game in that series with a dumb penalty which resulted in him missing the next game). What leverage does he have to ask for $4M + when he’s proven nothing more than short bursts of good play?
Of course it's a small sample size (15 games), but you have to take risks sometimes I guess.

The latest dramatic update of „negotiations having taken a turn for the worse“ so quickly before the deal really gives away how pointless this entire circus is, at least on our ends as spectators.
IMO it's Zito making a gamble. If Bennett rebounds in Florida, that deal could be a steal.
