FWIW, Caps fans generally seem fine with it and they watch him play more than any of us. Locked him up for his prime and he had a huge impact, both tangibly and intangibly, in their Cup run.

Even some analysts defending it because NHL. Just goes to show being an ex-player at even the highest level does not automatically qualify you to make hockey decisions. Jesus f***.
$5.17 million per year for 27 points on average. In a salary cap league. Have at it.

Well all the caps fans here I saw fine with it are all up with cup win glow. The fan situation is different as they've been in the push for a cup fir a decade with so much failure while the hawks were then with their 2nd recent cup and in the push for more. But most hawks fans upset by it knew it would mean more cap tight losses for players.

Thank you Elon!
I believe Trotz had already agreed to an extension if he led the team to the promise land.
It's a bit tough to blame Caps management for trying to hold the coach to that deal, but at the same time Trotz was worth more, so it's kind of tough to blame him for wanting to get paid after proving he can get it done. At least it gives Isles fans some small glimmer of hope this horribad off season. lol

Exactly......their fans won't know as the high is so good right now, especially after their first ever cup. Besides do they know what cap hell is yet? i say no.
Hawks fans have learned the easy and hard way, well i guess is the only way to put it. How many teams get to experience what us Hawks, Kings or Pens fans have experienced?
It was a hell of a ride.

RIP Fugu
I wouldn't be surprised if one or both of these guys are gone
Melynk wont be thrilled if both get high arbitration rulings

A four million dollar difference between the two camps is insane. Granted, I'd want a ****load of money to stay in the dumpster fire that is the Senators organization.

Kayes just signed for $5 mil, same with Tom Wilson, of course Stone looks at that and thinks he is worth $9mil...I cannot imagine he gets under $6.5-7 mil per season

Colorado offersheet for Stone would be epic. Sakic can really turn the screws to Dorion because he owns the Sens first round pick. No Hoffman/Stone/Karlsson and that team is a lock for a lottery pick. Most likely Hughes.
Huge risk for Stone though because if the sens matched, I would imagine he wouldn’t get a very warm reception if he played a hand in trying to strong arm the sens out of assets in bolting for another team first chance he got.
Don’t see it happening but man that would make for some entertainment over the summer months.

Don't believe Stone can sign an offersheet since he is going to arbitration.
He is worth close to 9mil, one of the best two way wingers in the league.

I would love for the Hawks to get Stone. I think he would be perfect on a line with Toews and Saad.

Stone plays excellent defense and scored 62 points last year in 58 games. The guy is absolutely a 7M player, probably more.
