Watch Pittsburgh find a way to snag him.
I was told his points don't actually help you win games.
how much have you watched him? Especially prior to this year??
If you didn't like his ES play then it makes more sense to reduce his role than it does to straight benching him. It was dumb to ever consider benching him when he's so potent on the PP and Florida has no one even close to his ability on the point, Yandle in a 3rd pairing role as a PP specialist is still a better option Riley Stillman.
but, but PP points don't matter!! Like Yandle's offense hasn't been contributing to Florida's last 2 wins right?
so you haven’t watched him and just came in here to start shit? Got it. Maybe it was all a ploy to light a much needed fire under his ass.
Oh yeah the fire needed to produce the same results on the PP like he always has.

His pp ability has never been in question. It was his play in his own end and not coasting through games, which he has turned around. He's been hitting, taking hits, going into the corners and battling, which is what the coaching staff wanted to see. Even one unnamed Panther from last season called him out and told him he was a horrible teammate. But yeah, they're all just imagining it and you're the expert.
Those factors were always exaggerated, his PP production is what helped them win the game and will always be his strongest asset. The talk about benching him has always been stupid, like Florida has any better options.
Are you really gonna be this obtuse? No, they WEREN'T EXAGGERATED. So Q is senile then? Is that it? All Yandle's teammates are just a-holes and out to get him? The leadership group flat out told Yandle to his face in the offseason that he had to be better. But yeah, they're all crazy. You know everything, bro. We're honored to be in the prescence of such a great hockey mind as yourself. Can you send me your autograph?
Florida does have better options if Yandle regresses again. They have 8 other nhl d-men, assuming Juulsen can still play at nhl level. Plus Keeper on the taxi squad who has always been fine when they've played him and has some offensive ability. Stop pretending like you know about the Panthers because obviously you don't know jack.
Yandle himself said that they never approached him about waiving his Nmc. So none of that makes any sense. How the hell would his agent know this is the case? He’s just upset for his client and jumping to conclusions.How about Yandles agent publically coming out to say Florida was trying to strongarm him into accepting a trade and that those threats weren't play related? Or do you know better than his agent
Yeah please, no one was even close to Yandles offensive ability when Florida realized they're sunk without him on the PP they put him back in the lineup. Like I said you have no one even close to Yandles on the PP, you have 8 NHL defenseman? Right... Florida, known for their defensive depth, good one.

Ah yes, the unbiased opinion of his agent. Clearly a better indicator than his HOF coach.Yeah please, no one was even close to Yandles offensive ability when Florida realized they're sunk without him on the PP they put him back in the lineup.

And actually Ekblad has looked good on the pp too so far, after not being on the 1st unit for years. If he gets comfortable playing on the pp a lit, he's gonna rack up a ton of points. And the point is goal differential. A struggling pp and good even strength play is better than a good pp and a bad GA. That's still lost on you.
Yes Florida has 8 nhl d-men, maybe even 9.
Ekblad, Weegar, Stralman, Nutivaara, Gudas, Yandle, Forsling, Stillman, Juulsen. Which one of them is not an nhl.d-man? I never said had a top 3 blueline. They do have some depth though.
I actually don’t think I’d do that. Yandle has 2yrs left after this and white has 4yrs. I think that’s too long. Connor brown I’d do, same amount of years left. And Wolanin, we don’t have a use for him and he’s still an rfa after this season. I know we’d need to take a salary dump back for Yandle but not something that’s two years longer than he already isYandle for Colin White and Christian Wolanin
It’s worth it: we can buy out under 26 players for 1/6 a year...keep until Barky and buy him out for 850k a yearI actually don’t think I’d do that. Yandle has 2yrs left after this and white has 4yrs.

We’d be on the hook for that for 6yrs (with a negative amount in year 3? So i guess it adds cap back that year? Never seen that before). But that’s a pretty long time even though it’s under 0.9per, idk if zito will want that, I see him finding another way considering he moved matheson without retaining or buying out anyone. I know the nmc makes it more difficult, but still.It’s worth it: we can buy out under 26 players for 1/6 a year...keep until Barky and buy him out for 850k a year

Don’t protect Yandle and let Seattle take him. Problem solved.
