Yes, he has, and he also has a serious neck injury. No thanks. This thread has a lot of bad takes.

The neck injury concern is very valid.
Anyone saying he has underperformed when on the ice is frankly, delusional.
The guy has been a one man show out there. Exactly ZERO good Defensemen his whole career to help push the pace aside from Dahlin, Still manages to be a point per game player on one of the worst offensive teams in the league.
Put this guy on Carolina even, and he's topping 100 pretty easily. Just a little bit of help and he's Nate MacKinnon 2.0.

So is MacKinnon, So is Malkin, Both have yelled at their coaches, Malkin has fought teammates. Alot the greats are divas.
Messier and Jagr were the biggest divas ever.
I'd be pretty upset playing in Buffalo too. I don't blame him really. He's surrounded by losers.

I didn’t think yinzers would like someone outspoken. I think he was smart to call out Buffalo but some fans here never got over Jagr’s drama here 20+ years ago.

Well.... does he want to compete or get paid? 29... good stats until the last 2 years, which I'm guessing is injury... well not guess, I heard but not fully aware of his injury history.
So... he's 6-0 225lbs, which DEFINITELY makes him a prime caps candidate, but they are no way going to make the moves to get him, I wouldn't think... They have o.v. to sign....
wouldn't THAT be hilarious... capitals sign younger 6-0 225lbs scoring winger and let o.v. walk...
If the penguins got him i'm just positive they'd misuse him or he wouldn't work worth a F*** on this stupid speed and pressure system.... Vlad should probably go to either tampa... cap wouldn't apply to them with his injuries... then win the cup 30 million over the cap next time...

Well... pretty much if you are a penguin fan _under_ 40... you probably have no idea that happened...
Or followed the penguins back then... I didn't personally... not til 96-97ish

Considering the Caps traded for Mantha, I don't really see the need for Vlad.
Any team trading for Tarasenko is gonna be cautious because of his injuries.
Philly has no need for him either, they have like 8 top 6 Wingers already.
Boston makes a ton of sense though.

Hall - ? - Tarasenko
ehhhh
They have the available space to make it happen... awww man...
Is boston interested or any word on where he is leaning? east coast / west coast? North to canada... south to warmth?

Toronto is apparently in on Hall. I don't see how they make the cap work though.

Toronto.... no comment.
Just have to see the waiting game I guess. I'm curious where he'll land.

I think a Kuznetsov/Tarasenko trade makes some sense if Washington is really done with Kuzya.

Oh yeah.. forgot about that.
Does C for RW work for them?
Backstrom
Kuz
Eller
Dowd
Is what they have now. 9 mil in cap and a few signs to make... Kuz/Tar is almost = cap, but lose a center and they have several RW's.

Extra Texture
A new career
The other two have the space and/or young talent to make a deal work, sure, but how the heck is Washington going to fit him in? Assuming they're bringing back Ovechkin, they probably still have to bribe Seattle to take a pricey piece off their roster. And then at that point, they add a boatload of futures to Kuznetsov and hope the Blues are willing to downgrade? Plus, event taking away his statistical decline, I feel like an org like St. Louis is basically the antithesis of a party-boy Russian player.
Maybe Washington pulls the rip cord on Mantha already? That would be hilarious.
it would be hilarious if they went that way. And, IMO, probably ensure that a highly top heavy team will never get "over the hump" to a championship.
The Old Master
come and take it.
i think you might have that backwards. they didn't give everyone in the arena a sign saying "shoot" be cause he shot too much.

I just saw a beer commercial during game 4 (at my grams watching... only time I'd ever inflict the pain of commercials on myself)
and it was right on the money for penguins fans...
something along the lines of, '*this is for*.......for all the hockey fans whose favorite team has ten times more passes than shots on the powerplay'
I thought... hah... could be a penguins commercial there.

Malkin fought Adams. Obviously totally justified since he was a coffee-making coach's pet for Dan Bylsma.
HandshakeLine
A real jerk thing
It's kind of disingenuous to bring this up without pointing out that the teammate Malkin fought was Craig Adams, but you do you, boo.
f***, they should have made Geno the C for beating Craig's ass right then and there.

Toronto doesn't have a cap, it's why they are in on everyone and will get everyone. Toronto is the centre of the universe, we all spin around them and their superiority.
