Pre-Game Talk: SENS in the Pitt, Fri 7:00 pm

[Spartachat]

Right now i mean. Who the hell knows what happens when theyre up for bridge deals.

They will probably get offered sheeted by big market teams such as Winnipeg, Calgary and Edmonton and Melnyk will not be able to match.

 

[Icelevel]

Ok fine. I will watch tonight to see Nilssons helmet

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Ok. Wanna give me next week's lotto 649 numbers too while you're at it?

Now why would I do that?

 

[Byron Bitz]

Agree with you on Chabot, but he is due for a MASSIVE raise after next season and he could be looking at something between 5 to 8 mill as well. If Melnyk is still in the picture, Chabot's getting traded.

I don’t think Chabot will be traded but I do predict that his contract negotiation will be very difficult for Pierre Dorion with Melnyk breathing over his shoulder. If Chabot agent plays hardball I think we’re looking at another Nylander situation.

Yup cause offer sheets are a thing that happens all the time.

So I can buy several million 1 dollar Ikea hot dogs of course

Might as well get their first goals out of the way tonight. It's way of the sens

A number of the pundits, on SportsNet and TSN are predicting that Marner will be "offer sheeted" this coming summer.

His agent has told the Leaf they'll not talk contract during the season, and why not wait and see if any offer sheets are submitted, as the Leafs will almost certainly match.

 

[Spartachat]

That's pretty snazzy!

I bet Dubas is eagerly awaiting an offer sheet.

If it's between $8-10 million, he'll happily match and doesn't have to spend time on negotiations.

If someone offers over $10 million, he can take his 4 first round picks and take the money saved to go after Stone, Panarin or Skinner. I'd bet any of those guys would be happy to play with a core of Matthews, Tavares, Rielly and Nylander.

He can then take the 8 1st rounds he'd have between 2020-2023 and surround that core with good, young talent for the next 8 years, or he can trade for more established stars.

Win-win.

And this is exactly why offer sheets almost never happen.

Marner is good, but remember last year he spent a lot of time on the 4th line during a cold streak. He might just be performing well because of the contract. Look how the performance of Nylander fell off a cliff now that he signed. I would take Stone over Marner if they were the same age.

Well since Melnyk is so cheap, you wouldn't have to offer much. Most owners and GMs are afraid to offer sheet as the team may take revenge by offer sheeting one of their players in the future. Melnyk would be too cheap to offer sheet a player on another team, so no worries.

 

[SotasicA]

How is it possible Dylan DeMeleo is a +15? Serious question, I don't watch the Senators.

When you watch the Senators, you don't really notice DeMelo anyways, which isn't really a bad thing. But yeah that +15...I don't know if anyone can explain that.

 

[Icelevel]

......in action

Playing mainly with Chabot helps

 

[Do Make Say Think]

As the margins of success get smaller and smaller it is inevitable that teams will start relying on them more.

No Malkin tonight
