Around the NHL - Episode XLXV

[Sens of Anarchy]

Nice way to structure the contracts. More up front and less later . Makes the contracts easier to move on from if that day arrives. Trade protection early vs late.

Those deal in Tampa look reasonable except Sergachev. Sergachev has been a legitimate top 4 guys for them, and he still has potential to become a leigt #1 guy, but he hasn't played like that yet (not that he has the chance when Hedman is there). That deal has the potential to feel like an overpay really soon.

Makes Chabot's deal look like a bargain

 

[R2010]

Okay now i'm no longer a fan of Dubois.

[Qward]

Compirable to Joseph?

 

[Loach]

Petry to Pitt for Matheson.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Petry to Pitt for Matheson.

Isn't Matheson actually decent? Seems like a downgrade to me.

 

[Xspyrit]

Petry is better but turns 35 in December and has 3 seasons left. But the reason why he is traded is that he wants to live in the USA for family reasons

They also traded their top prospect Ryan Poehling! Who they considered better than Norris and Pinto not that long ago...

Seriously, we need Montreal to be good this season. I really don't want them to get another top-3 pick. This is crucial

Looks like Tierney got a contract with the Panthers. 750k in the N or 450k in the A. Thought he might end up overseas after last years showing.

Lol.... Dude had potential at one point.

Like a latté?

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Where's the Tierney appreciation thread?

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

He was goodish the first couple years. Hope he can stick in the NHL

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Two way deal, so he may not end up in the NHL either way, but good luck to him trying to make it!

When I think of Tierney, I think who was Tierney? Did he play for the Sens? He became invisible.

I wonder why they would agree to that from a player perspective. The trade protection part of it, I mean.

If you are wondering why they don't have trade protection at the start of the contract, I'm fairly certain that's because players can't until they reach the requirements of UFA.

Cernak will be 27 in May 2024, so July 1, 2024 he would have been a UFA. Cirelli will in July 15 2024 so he has to wait till the next season. Sergachev completes his 7th season at the end of 2024, his NTC starts July 1, 2024.

I mean going from full protection in the middle of the deal, to limited trade afterwards. If you managed to get complete trade protection by your UFA years, why partially give it up near the end of the contract?

Warm vanilla ice cream = cat food.

Well, from a player perspective, both know that they aren't stars in this league. Both got set for life contracts...just sign here. Idk, we've seen things like Dzingle turning down 5*5 and ultimately losing big time. Signing for that kind of term is typically reserved for higher end players. If I'm either one, I'd put my name on a contract with that kind of financial value

 

[bicboi64]

Curious why Pittsburgh felt the need to move Marino, but then acquire an RD like Petry who isn't head and shoulder above Marino. Maybe its to get rid of Matheson, but I don't think the Pens will be able to contend anymore

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Another refusal statement about the Hockey Canada allegations, this time from Conor Timmins. Numbers are dwindling here – I'm getting nervous.

eventually we will know who is allegedly involved simply by them not releasing statements

For reference here is Timmin's statement

If I was uninvolved, I'd totally be talking to everyone else not involved and making a plan to each release statements that I'm not under investigation and had no involvement.

Batherson must be relieved he already got his contract out of the way
