Around the NHL - Offseason Edition

[Leetch3]

thats alot of money for a guy coming off a ELC with 1 big season

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Hellebuyck getting hella bucks:

I'm a believer in him, but thats quite the raise based off of one good year.

 

[SA16]

Yeah I'm interested to see how Barzal performs. He's a great player, but I want to see him replicate his production now that he's "the guy" there. He'll obviously get more minutes and opportunities, but he'll definitely be facing tougher match-ups. Should be interesting so see how it works.

I think he'll be fine. It's Bailey and Lee I'd expect to tank.

 

[Inferno]

I think he'll be fine. It's Bailey and Lee I'd expect to tank.

I think the opposite...he's about to get the toughest minutes and it's not like they've got much behind him to give him a break. 1 line team with a 2nd year center...kinda rough.

 

[Bob Richards]

And they'll still probably sweep us this season

Oh dude they will 100% do that regardless of how terrible they are. I'm not anxious about it going into October because I fully expect it

There goes "blue-chip prospect" Hinostroza in a cap dump trade

Man Chicago's depth looks paper thin already, isnt Hinostroza penciled in for their top 6? Not that hes anything special, but who are they going to ice?

I have a strange feeling Marcus Kruger is going to other way

You are right. It's on front page of tsn now.

The Chicago Blackhawks have traded Marian Hossa's contract, Vinnie Hinostroza, Jordan Oesterle and a 2019 third-round pick to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for Marcus Kurger, Mackenzie Entwhistle, Jordan Maletta, Andrew Campbell and a 2019 fifth-round pick.

Either their GM has completely lost it or they know the world is ending in like 2 years. They have no future set up at all and aren’t even very good right now

 

[East Coast Bias]

MAF signs an extension with Vegas adding on 3 years at 7m per year.

He's already signed for this season, so it runs through 2021-2022, ages 35-38.

Yikes.

 

[Irishguy42]

Yeah the MAF extension is not good.

 

[NYR Viper]

So Fleury is 33 years old right now, signed for 4 more years. (1) year @ $5.75m, (3) after that @ $7m.

Hank is 36 years old right now, signed for 3 more years. Each year @ $8.5m.

I know we all love Hank and over his career he has been far better and far more consistent. In saying that, which contract would you choose?

 

[broadwayblue]

Strange that they would give him that long of an extension when he is already signed for another year.

Who cares? Hank's contract hasn't hurt us. And by the time we're ready to compete, Hank's contract will be over.

Gross it up for NY state taxes.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Still less than 8.5m AAV

 

[kovazub94]

Still less than 8.5m AAV

And I will still take Hank, though I acknowledge that a lot of Rangers and other non-Pens fans criminally underrate MAF.

Fleury's CH% will never be as high as Lundqvist's was. I tend to look at the cap hit percentage on the date the contract is signed.

 

[NYR94]

 

[broadwayblue]

Am I the only one that thinks Vegas won't be as good next season?

 

[NYR Viper]

To be honest I wasn’t saying I’d take MAF over Hank, just a conversation point I thought was interesting

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Holy shit.

RIP

 

[NYR Viper]

Holy ****.

RIP

This is horrible. Hate seeing any younger person have this happen...
