Is the net value added win total based off the team's previous record? +2.6 wins (based on last year's record) would leave us with 67 points. If that's not dead last, it would certainly be close to it.

"Eric Cartman?"
I was thinking more the $2.4+M/yr for 2-years contract. the 3rd round pick in itself is no big deal.

Oh, I see. You're right, he's obviously overpaid, but that contract is also completely irrelevant to our cap situation, so who cares?
in hinsight it would have been preferable to give beaulieu a 2 year deal, but I doubt his agent was going to take anything less than that. These guys gotta eat.
this might sound crazy, because I really think beaulieu is awful, but maybe he finds a way to salvage the remainder of his contract here. Crazier things have happened and he is still young... some new guys in the dressing room could help. It seemed like he was playing with no confidence most of last season since he made so many explicitly terrible mistakes in his own end to start the year

The there’s no pessimism.No one is doubting that everything will go according to his plan. It’s that plan that people like myself have a problem with.

I'm much more optimistic than a 2-3 win improvement BUT it's July 19th and I'm always optimistic in the summer.
We did rid ourselves of some real dreck in Nolan, Pouliot, Josefson and Gorges. Beaulieu is probably in the press box or Rochester.
I don't like the ROR trade but we got 3 serviceable forwards, these guys have been on a solid team, coached by Hitchcock and Yeo, Sheary the same. This should have a good impact on the ice and off it. And we're adding a very quick skilled center in Mittelstadt who I think is going to be in the Calder hunt and Dahlin who within 2 months will be our best defenseman. The two goalies last season were absolute garbage, Ullmark and Hutton I think will be better than that - maybe we have some good fortune and they are markedly better.
Was I dreaming or did a team actually sign Jordan Nolan recently?
My prediction is we'll have the same point total as we did in Bylsma's first year, not a playoff team but we'll jump over a bunch of teams in the standings and we'll be kind of fun to watch.

The same team that swindled Botts into trading ROR. Kinda makes you think.

And if Nolan produces, THAT kind of makes you think as well...

I read what was in the post, if there is more in the article than what was posted in the OP I wouldn't know.

It's almost as if one trade doesn't define a GM's management skillsThe same team that swindled Botts into trading ROR. Kinda makes you think.

Unsure if his grade factors in mitts for a full season and the draft with Dahlin added.
Sheary offense and Berglund Defense could be close to ROR.
Hutton better than lehner
Sobotka equivalent to pilot
Dom is not taking into account Mitts and Dahlin in his article. He shows the guys in and guys out. How come some people were all over Tierneys work but are not taking Dom’s work as equivalent? I am thinking this shows that the team has improved without involving Mitts and Dahlin into the equation.

It almost sounds like the indictment reads: "Making the terrible decision to resign a goalie the previous GM traded a 1st for."
At least he didn't trade away a pile of good draft picks for those swings.

Oh look, yet another anti-Murray response to a comment that had nothing to do with Murray

Guilty of Being Right
No, he just spent a season not giving a shit about the NHL product, leading to terrible trades involving half his good forwards.

What did my comment have to do with Murray? Was he well known for wasting assets?
