Post-Game Talk: Well we know how Bruins, Leafs, Canes fans feel: Panthers play well but drop season opener 2-0

[Gentle Man]

Looking forward to tomorrow's....wait it's an early start? Never mind, on to New Jersey.


I hope Evan Griffith buries one tomorrow

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Devon Toews just got 7M…

I still have hopes ! In BZ we do trust !!

That's likely around what Montour and/or Forsling get.

Forsling gets longer term, by a year or two and Montour with slightly higher AAV because of high end offense and possible promotion to top line if Ekblad is eventually moved/walked to UFA.

Back to Back shutouts?

Just expect the start to be 0-4, that way if it’s anything better you’ll be happy as hell

I'd guess $6.5milx5 for Fors and $7.5milx6 for Monty.

6x6 each

If you're only doing 5 years for Fors, it'll cost more, not less.

You're probably right. His contract might go to seven years at that cap hit, but if the cap ceiling will go up then $1mil in each year after 2024 bump then it'd be a good investment for both sides.

One could argue that Forsling is the better dman of the two and thus deserves a better contract than Monty but the fact is that point production will dictate more than it probably should and Monty was a clutch player in the playoffs, especially in the Boston series.

Agree points tend to matter more, but Fors is also two years younger so that's going to cost more too.

Way I see it, lot of dmen deals recently signed point to around $7M/yr for someone like Monty, see Toews as an example and the UFA deals. Fors I actually think more complete and younger, but agree points get paid and also less pedigree, so I'd say those even out to be similar to Monty.

 

[Gentle Man]

Forsling doesn't get the most points but I'd argue he is the most dependable DMan we have factoring in durability, defensive ability etc

Unless......

Bob's contracts gets A LOT easier to move. He can be traded to half the league. Not saying it will be easy, just a lot easier

View attachment 752256

And the buyout route becomes much more palateable.

Could we replace Bob for 5M?

We almost won the cup with his hot streak!!!

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

4pm start time, are you kidding me, who schedules this crap?

 

[Egblad]

I only see 1 person melting down TBF.

Agree, board is not melting down. People are chill so far.

Give me until game 5.
