Jesus, talk about a low IQ play by Coleman. Drag your f***ing back foot you bender.

f*** Coleman. diving

 

[TheKingPin]

He plays on one of the worst teams in the league, and at age 18-20, he is already better than someone like Kevin Hayes by every single measure. Maybe a marginal RFA overpay at first, but that contract will get a lot of value over 7 years, I wager. He gets lost in the shuffle of those other top 5 picks being superstars, but he’s still a stud and one of the better all-around young players of his age. I wish Patrick performed like Hischier and we could give him that deal.

Hes had some shortened seasons but he has scored less since his rookie year. 52-42-36 all with inverse games played though. Career high so far of 20 goals. But he’s also 21. I don’t think it’s a horrible deal, but it’s not like he was taking over games and waiting on the finish. He was pretty invisible against us anyway. Hughes has 7 goals and 21 pts. Let’s say he progresses and scores 65 pts in his contract year. Do you give him 9 mill given the internal comp? Now you’re banking on 2 guys progressing which should happen but if it doesn’t it’s not good.

We would all like Patrick to have earned that kind of contract. He want far off Hischier in their last years. But Patrick should make a lot less the next 1-2 years and still likely less for the contract after that.

Hayes’ deal will not mature well, but there is obviously some context there and it’s not a comparison.

If Tampa wins, it will be because of a gritty guy like Goodrow. That’s the difference maker this season compared to last. Such a good HockeyGuy story, it writes itself.

It'll be because they add Goodrow, Coleman, Maroon, Shattenkirk, L Schenn and Bogosian, and traded for Cernak a couple years ago. They're a much deeper, more physical team.
A Mr Softee team has survived the gauntlet of Columbus, Boston, the Islanders and now Dallas w/o Stamkos.
They've scored 56 goals in 18 games, but only allowed 37.

Right? This place got super dark super fast.

NHL bubble confidential: Go inside the Toronto and Edmonton playoff hubs

An Eastern Conference veteran called it "a safe zone, totally separate from the outside world" in Toronto. "I almost felt too secure. With the fences they put up, there was no way anyone was getting in or out," he said.

Now you all know why I didn't succeed at getting Thompson out of the bubble.

Well this is interesting...

Kev talked about it on Chiclets a few weeks ago as well if anyone is interested

It pleases me to know MTL had cap space and blew their load on guys like Jake Allen and Joel Edmondson before realizing Pietrangelo was available

While I agree on Montreal's curious priority list to spend their free cap, their only strength is RHD, though. Who among Pietrangelo, Weber, or Petry goes to the left?

My main man, Ken Holland.

Absolutely no doubt I could choose ~5 or more posters here that what do a better job than many of these hockey man, boomer frauds.

Hey, don't be dissing a naked crazy man with a fire axe.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Oof.

 

[Appleyard]

Oof.

KHL awarded Kunlun the win... and also said that they had already suspended play for a day... and that Lokomotivs tests were not in line with their own... and that they should have had contingency. In effect.

 

[BernieParent]

If I have to read one more Leafs - Pietrangelo rumour I’m going to delete social media

... unless it includes LOL in the title.

Offer him at 13x7 just to screw them and their crappy hockey.

This is the real weapon of offer sheets. Sure, the parent club will probably match but they then have to agree to at least the salary and term. Nashville took a real hit in matching Holmgren's OS to Weber.

[Captain Dave Poulin]

That's quite a tumescent signing. He's rather rigid in his ways, but he should erect a real upstanding base.

Could Dreger be anymore vague? It’s apparently their AGM/Director of Scouting.

 

[BernieParent]

all this occurs before James Neal enters the same elevator correct?

He catches the elevator. From underneath. While on Dale Hunter's shoulders.

Don't need a Director of Scouting if you don't have draft picks.

TIL I learned Andreas Anthanasiou is the first known mercury-based life form. Why aren't we funding NASA?

I seem to recall some other posters expressing a high level of interest in AA at some point this season. If memory serves, one notable poster wanted to send Ghost for him, because we needed a speedy SNIPAH™!

Wrong. That would be Hg Wells.
