If crediting Eichel is weak, what does that say of you blaming Derek Ryan for his limits in Carolina?
I dont see any number of posts leading to us seeing eye to eye, so I will agree to disagree. If you are happy with your team signing him at 9, who am I to judge.... I just do not want my team to.
I hope he proves me wrong.
It’s weak because most teams have a top tier center to play with him...
I don’t WANT my team to pay 9 million per, I certainly would prefer less... but the market is the market. And a 40 goal 26 year old isn’t settling for 55 point money.
I’m not positive, but how many teams get better by letting top tier talent go?
And there’s a big difference between a cap that forces you to let big time talent go (Chicago/Panarin), and being a team that fears the cap and lets talent go before the cap forces it.
He scored another tonight...
