Colorado could offer around double what Tampa could for Hall to be on a contender for 2 years. Sakic was trying to go shorter term higher dollar for Panarin last year, hoping he trys to do it with Hall this year. Vatanan would have a redundant skill set in Colorado so I doubt he goes there.
Like I stated, Boston will re-sign him at that contract. This team was fourth worst in the league, buoyed by that seven game win streak. They're not ready for the next step. But, we'll see.
Krug isn't signing with LA He and his Wife are close to their families there in Michigan. LA is just to far. Vegas doesn't have the money for Lehner. And why would Detroit sign Barrie and Schultz? Detroit is set a RD we need LD help so neither player make sense.
I certainly hope so, for a:
I'm glad someone agrees on Brodie to DET...just makes sense.
That doesn’t mean the Tavares scenario is the norm or should be expected. Can you say Steven Stamkos?
If you can say Tavares...Ontario boy..wanted to come to Toronto..left money on table to go there. It actually is rather normal for veteran players to want to return to their hometown area to play...especially if thay team has a shot at a cup...while AP may sign in st Louis we know there is interest on both sides and it was explored last season. AP could very well pull a Tavares and make the leafs a quick seller .....or not
So why because one player did it does it become normal? Where are all the others?
Not sure what I’d trade for Saad. Not much. He’s a rental in an era where guys with $6mm cap hits have nearly no value. Saad is overpaid. Not by a lot but he won’t see $6mm Aav on his next deal, he’s overpaid on a team with cap problems.
@McJedi I see you're in Florida, like me. Who's your team?
Avs In west. Panthers in East. The value is the cap space. It’s the base. The plus is the pick. A tiny pick of nearly no consequence.
