If you don't understand the uniqueness of Hornqvist's game by now then no amount of explanation is going to help you.
We go through this every off season though. People seem to forgot Horny's contributions to the team as quickly as anyone when in reality, it's his doings in the playoffs that I tend to remember the most.
Off season always seems to skew reality for several posters here. Last off season after a horrific regular and post-season, people here were arguing that Kunitz wasn't nearly as bad as everyone said and people argued vigorously that he was absolutely a top 6 wing with us. Just as baffling. People also tried to trade Horny almost immediately after the 2016 cup as well.
The Matt hunwick signing is what has me at a loss. He sucks and takes us from Cap flexibility to cap constriction. And he was signed for three years.
The dude blows. smh
No he doesn't. He's a very similar player to Cole. I watched him in the RS and PO against Washington and was impressed with his body of work. That doesn't do anything to constrict us. All things considered, we are very flexible with the cap. We have no bad or unmovable contracts and we have a stellar goalie, a deadly blueline now with everyone healthy, wing depth up the wazzoo, young guys coming in, and the two best centers in the world...adding Hunwick did nothing to change that.
I really don't see Hornqvist getting that type of contract. If he demands it, then I obviously let him go.
Me either. $4.5-4.75 depending on term is what a guy like him should make. If someone wants to throw a 6x6 at him, that's the other GMs fault.
