If we just give the people replicators we won't need to buy hockey skates OR food!

$4B would buy a lot of skates. And food!

If we turned all the millionaire athletes into soylent, we could solve world hunger.

Ok, can we talk about how I’m starving before I start begging for donations of vbucks (or I guess it’s called “SB cash”… terrible change imo).

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I love how none of you have disappointed me.

Not official yet, but the rumour is 6 years, 7.75 for Hughes and 3 years, 7.7 for Petey.

REPORT: Canucks re-sign Pettersson and Hughes to sub-$8 million contracts - Vancouver Is Awesome

 

[Bounces R Way]

Seems about right on both. Canuck fans will be doing the same agonizing over Tkachuk thing in 2 years with EP. Also putting a lot of faith in Quinn Hughes growing his game significantly.

That's a QO of 9.5ish? That's going to hurt a lot in 3 years like Tkachuk's 9 mil QO next year

I believe his QO should be 8.82 mil since it's set to a cap of 120% of the AAV (or at least that's what I've been told recently). Either way, 9.5 is way more than fair for Pettersson and I have no doubt he'd be worht double digits by the time the contract length is up

I agree it just makes negotiations so much harder, when we try to resign Tkachuk I doubt he is willing to go long term below his 9ish million QO, I just think if you truly believe the guy is a star which I 100% do with EP then you do what you have to to get the 2nd contract at 7 or 8 years.

I take back anything I said about the possibility of Sharangovich being a flash in the pan. This kid is the real deal. I don't think NJ would part with he and Zacha for Johnny, but if I were Tre, I would keep an eye on Sharangovich as a potential return in the event that he has no choice but deal Johnny.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Lehner is absolutely laying into the nhl over the treatment of players, loving seeing someone sticking up for their union brothers.

So Tre has the x-rays lit up in his office scrutinizing them like Quincy ME.

 

[Darth Vladar]

Just the fact that Dreger uses the term "Eichel saga" tells me all I need to know about how the media have been milking this BS for hits. They have to make people care about Eichel because there is nothing else interesting going on that is actually hockey related, or anything going on that is hockey related isn't interesting enough.

In other news, Evander Kane is suddenly being accused of forging a vaccination card. This league is becoming a fkn joke.

 

[Kranix]

Friedman was tweeting about Eichel the other day, only teams he mentioned were Vegas and Cgy.

Let's be real, that guy's name has been everywhere in media for months yet absolutely nothing has actually happened. The media dragged Kane's name through the mud for weeks on something that turned out to not even be true, then found another accusation to replace it with. Sports journalism is garbage.

Well, he's not talking about us cause we're CAL.

 

[Kranix]

And FURTHER he said Vegas is out because Krebs is off the table, but he didn't say CALCGY is out.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Monahan+Tkachuk+Valiamki/Kylington+2022 1st+2023 2nd for Eichel + Thompson

 

[Sparky93]

Monahan+Tkachuk+Valiamki/Kylington+2022 1st+2023 2nd for Eichel + Thompson

That trade would literally make the Flames a worse team than the Sabres were last year, while gifting them a potential 1stOA. It's very safe to say that Buffalo isn't getting offered anything, remotely close to that, for a broken Eichel, who more likely than not, will not even play this year.

 

[Some Other Flame]

True, they do want a more future based package but hard to make the salary work now. Badarov or Badbranson+Pitlick would have to go back to make the cap work.

Monahan+Badarov+Pellettier+Valiamki+2022 1st
