You'd rather have him for one more 2nd round exit than get something for him?I would rather have Draisaitl for one more playoffs run and let him walk after than get a player+futures.

Makes sense, since they are both from GermanyBecause father time hit Heatley hard in his early 30s and I'm positive the same will happen to Draisaitl
Because they were the ones who offered Tavares $13m. In your response you said why would Drai go and play for a bottom feeder like San Jose. My point was only that there would be a team out there that would offer Drai more then that- using San Jose as an example for Tavares. San Jose at the time was also not a bottom feeder. They had just acquired Karlsson and went to the conference final.You're literally the one that mentioned San Jose.

A big chunk of that $13 million will go to Bouchard’s extension he’s going to demand $8-$9 million a year minimum I’m not sure that would be spending it wiselyI would rather have Draisaitl for one more playoffs run and let him walk after than get a player+futures.
You can get that 'good' player via free agency.
Keeping him for one more playoffs will show McD we tried our best for a cup run. And then spen that 13M wisely afterwards
That's fine. 8M for Bouchard is fair as long as he stays top 5 in goals and pts by D.A big chunk of that $13 million will go to Bouchard’s extension he’s going to demand $8-$9 million a year minimum I’m not sure that would be spending it wisely
Whatever we get for him won't make us go farther than 2nd rd exit so Yes.You'd rather have him for one more 2nd round exit than get something for him?
A contract from years 29 to 37 ? With a full NMC?
Ouch. Whoever signs this had better be right in their window, and accepts that this will turn into an anchor contract in 3-4 years and be a huge anchor at the end.
I mean it was literally reported as a high ankle sprain.What's the proof?.. I can claim MacKinnon, Makar and Kucherov are playing injured all season.
McD was likely dinged up at the start of the season but he wouldn't be dishing out career best hits if he was 'injured'.
His rights could be acquired from Edmonton if 8th year brings his AAV down
Where is the report? Link?I mean it was literally reported as a high ankle sprain.
He could barely push off that one leg, and his shot was a muffin.
The guy’s not a winner, doesn’t care about his own net, and doesn’t play the way you need to play in order to have success in the postseason.
Yeah Leon, pick it up in the playoffs, you lazy bum, letting Lemieux and Gretzky outperform youThe guy’s not a winner, doesn’t care about his own net, and doesn’t play the way you need to play in order to have success in the postseason. On top of that the latter half of that contract is going to look awful. Realistically I’d pass - obviously there’s a price point at which I’d take him despite those issues, but somebody would pay him far more than I would be willing to.
only active player in the NHL with 5 40 goal, 100 point seasons, he is the statistically best combination of sniper and playmaker in the game.
And before fans of other teams jump down my throat, I'm not saying he's the best goal scorer or even the best playmaker (even though I personally think he is) I'm saying he's the best combination of those two skills in the NHL currently.
Since 2015-16 he's second in goals to Matthews, and second in assists and point to McDavid. his contract, whether people want to believe it or not, will start with a 13, as for the last 8 years, he's been the most consistent goal scoring and playmaking threat in the NHL.
Add on top of that the fact the he has one of the highest PPG in NHL history in the playoffs.
they're very close and to be honest it may splitting hairs, but no matter what some people on this site tell you, powerplay points count, and there is nobody who has 5 season of 40g & 100 points active in the NHL besides Draisaitl, and that includes McDavid.I think Pasta is right there as a combo guy. At 5 on 5 over the last three seasons he is better in both goals and assists. On the PP you start getting into arguing about McDavid factor which is a tired argument we don’t need to have, but even including PP, Pasta is the better goal scorer so I think it’s fair to say Pasta is right there with him. Pasta had more 5 on 5 goals, more 5 on 5 assists and more total goals.
Well, there is no "proof". None that you will accept anyway, as the team hasn't said he is injured, the player hasn't said he is injured, and there are no medical reports available. There are hints and signs that he is injured though. He was injured earlier in the year, and rumour is that he only came back for the outdoor game.What's the proof?.. I can claim MacKinnon, Makar and Kucherov are playing injured all season.

Over 40% of Mario Lemieux's career points were powerplay points and nobody ever brings that up to diminish what he accomplished, but it's always done with Draisaitl.
Weird comparison considering these guys are nothing alike. The only thing they have in common is they both had multiple 50 goal seasons and were both born in Germany.Because father time hit Heatley hard in his early 30s and I'm positive the same will happen to Draisaitl
The funny thing is that while I couldn't see Leon fitting in with the Knights, I could see McCrimmon acquiring him for a basket of goodies just to flip him a couple of days later for a much bigger basket of goodies.Right in Vegas wheelhouse. They'll figure a way.
