Post-Game Talk: That was Doggone Beautiful. Chucky is BACK

[ProjectPanthers]

Put me in the camp that actually cares about the standings. Part of the reason the Panthers got thumped in the Finals was having to run the gauntlet of the best teams in the East and were exhausted by the end, even with the 5 and 4 game series wins.

Give me the 7 or 8 seed in round one.

Agreed, if we can face Washington/Detroit/Pittsburgh/whoever in the 1st round instead of the Leafs, that's a HUGE step in the right direction if they win that opening round. Boston vs. Toronto would be a blood bath and we'd be left to pick up the pieces.

Plus playing do or die hockey for 6 months starting in January... we need to secure a spot earlier so we can let our best players heal/rest before the POs

When they say there is still another level a team can hit, the highlighted is that next level for this team

 

[Rat Trick]

Sorry guys, it was all my fault - Colorado game was the first game this season wearing my Tkachuck jersey

JK, I think the injury got him for a while to get back on track. Nice that he's doing better!

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

I guess Cousins might be back soon. He should still sit until we lose (and even after).

But he boarded Gadjovich. He should sit

 

[FinlandPanther]

They’re already trying to make excuses for how much cheaper Reinhart will be. Love it lol. (I know it’s an advantage,but it’s still funny lol.)

I sure hope you're right. Forwards who play excellent defense and consistently score 30+ goals don't f***ing grow on trees.

I have a feeling we get him for 9.25. A bit high (damn career year) but I don’t see Zito giving him more than Tkachuk or Barkov.

He is essentially a pocket Mark Stone when we already have one in Barkov.

Liked the fact about Reinhart…

Would argue Barkov takes Stone for a walk everyday of the week and twice on Sundays though !

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

Reino takes 8.5 book it

Move cousins at TDL for future considerations

The extra year plus taxes help. I also wonder if the Huberdeau experience+his time in Buffalo make him want to stay in a favorable experience.

Even though we complain about Bob's contract, he is treated well by the fans, local media, and the team. The same cannot be said for other markets

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Players always want to maximize the earnings they get out of their contracts.

You just have to hope that factors such as "I already own a home here" and "there's no state income tax" and "I enjoy playing golf year-round" and yes, "I won't have to deal with Canadian media" count for enough that you can make the contract a good value for the team.

RE: Canada specifically, unless you're a patriotic Canadian who just loves Canada, or you are going to play for your hometown team or something, I can't fathom why anyone would go play in Canada if the contract offers are even close.

Who the f*** wants to deal with that shit?

Had to take the like off after you added the edited part about Canada

It's true, though! They are treating Huberdeau like he kidnapped the f***ing Lindbergh baby. Even McDavid gets shit on when he isn't pacing for 150pts.

 

[Ghoste]

Thinking the highest they go with Reino is $9 million. I agree with others saying he doesn’t get more than Chucky and Sasha.

Not that part about the media.

I would love to be a hockey player playing in Canada. The amount of fandom. The amount of puck bunnies. Sounds great to me!

IMO also 8.5 x 8 will get it done. Other teams would have give 9.7 million to match and he would probably have to move to some gong show to get it.

If he takes 8.5 then Reino will be universally loved by us all

 

[Felidae]

Apparently Corey Perry is available.

Man, his pestiness and playstyle would fit in perfectly with the Panthers, but we don't really need him. Our 3rd and 4th line are already pretty solid.
