John Klingberg is going to make 6.5mil+ with term and would actually not improve our defense.We should try to clear the cap space and sign John Klingberg, because our defense is a joke.

The poster I quoted was surprised how well the Canucks rank. I explained why it happened. The only one being a stick in the mud is youz. You’re getting upset I think the guy that makes money off these horrible stats he puts out is a hack. I wonder if you say the same to people that think the same of that eklund dude.Don't be such a stick in the mud. It's just a fun experiment chart based off a bunch of volatile draft/FA moves.
He’s cracked 20 goals once in his career about 8 years ago.31 y/o Palat making $6 million for the next 5 years. Was amazing for Tampa but that's a lot. I'm getting some Loui Eriksson vibes but that's probably me just projecting
If they were open to moving Mercer he’d be interesting. McLeod is barely better than Lazar.They have depth at center, Mercer and Mcleod are behind Hughes and Hischier, wouldn't mind one of the former ++.

Carolina did very well. Got Burns and Pacioretty on absolute bargains.As usual, tons of blunders out there today. Well, maybe not blunders but mistakes. Palat, Trocheck too much term; Zadorov, Burakovsky, Kuemper too much money; Gudbranson, Strome, Chiarot, both. It's easier to name the good deals, but that's free agency. TB finally looks like they are paying the piper, Carolina did fairly well.

Within the context of bare minimum top 4 RHD available, I like the Burns deal. He's gonna thrive on the top PP.Burns is a bit too rich still, but got him for relative peanuts and what's out there anyways? Kase and Coghlan are also good sly pickups.
Carolina definitely trying to seize their window. Still finding it hard to believe they got Pacioretty (and Coghlan, who seems like a solid defender) for free.

Aho, Teravainen, Jarvis, Pacioretty, Svechnikov, Necas, Staal, and Kotkaneimi make up a really good forward group. They could use a good old JT Miller to take that second line spot and have an elite top 9.
EDIT: I take it back, Kotka really isn't anything special lol
So what does "future consideration" mean anyways?
It usually means nothing. I can’t remember the last time a future consideration actually became anything.
I found this. It sounds like it’s usually a nominal asset like a late pick or minor league player.So what does "future consideration" mean anyways?
I recall earlier this season there was also a trade with "future consideration" in it or something.
Just sounds like such a weird and...pointless term.
It basically means anything the teams want. Can be pure money, could be a draft pick, could be absolutely nothing. They do let the league know what the parameters are when the trade is filed.
It almost always means nothing.
My favourite is Kris Draper going from the Jets to the Red Wings for futures. Those futures? $1.00
I don't know what sport, but there was a player who got traded for future considerations. The future considerations ended up being himself.

American stars just don't like playing in Canada it seems
I still dont like it but definitely less horrible considering. He's effective defensively atleast, and creates chances, just cant finish nearly all of them.I'm really warming to the Mikhayev deal tbh
