Oh you mean the San Antonio Spurs model?

Gregg Popovich is a well respected veteran coach.

We got Green (nothing against Green but Popovich is kind of a legend).

Man the difference a year can make. Last year MacKinnon looked dejected. This year he's elevating his game playing meaningful hockey.

 

[CherryToke]

Man why did we give him a NMC? LOL.

Gillis was handing them out like Benning hands out draft picks.

He doesn't have an NMC, but he probably got his NTC because he signed a fantastic deal.

 

[arttk]

Because Gillis was handing them out like Benning hands out draft picks.

He handed out two ...

 

[Johnny Canucker]

no boeser or horvat point lmao

Just a 25 game slump. Kids better than Barzal.

 

[RobertKron]

Naw, Gillis at least got something in return.

 

[EpochLink]

Gillis was handing them out like Benning hands out draft picks.

I'm trying to remember who else he gave NTC/NMC too...the Sedins, Burrows, Kesler, Bieksa, Edler, Luongo, Schneider was one wasn't he?

 

[yvrtojfk]

Shut the f*** up Garrett.

 

[CherryToke]

He handed out two ...

I think it was more like 6 but i'm too lazy to look it up.

Gillis got a discount on a top pairing defensemen for his NTC. Edler loves it here and has a young family, I don’t blame him for enforcing his NTC.

Back when Edler felt like playing a damn.

Edler is still a #4 D. He looks bad being the #1 on a bad team playing over 23 minutes a game.

Probably something about trying to fit a cup contending team under a tight cap...

I don’t think Schneider ever had one

The rest are top players that took discounts. We simply don’t have that 2011 team without the NTCs

 

[ChilliBilly]

Well the Sedins almost pulled our asses out of the fire again, but no scoring from the rest of the team .....

 

[Pip]

Edler is still a #4 D. He looks bad being the #1 on a bad team playing over 23 minutes a game.

I’d say he’s better than a #4

+Malhaotra, Hamhuis

-Schneider

Ya, was more referencing when they missed the playoffs for one year in 1997, won the Tim Duncan lottery, and set up the Robinson-Duncan dynasty that followed.

He also makes 1mil more than Gudbranson.

Hamhuis is still a #4 today (playoff team) even today. Maholtra, well injuries (eye) shortened his career.

 

[WinterEmpire]

Solid #3

 

[CherryToke]

Probably something about trying to fit a cup contending team under a tight cap...

True but also the fact that he was desperate because he was such a horrid drafter and had no prospects on the way.

 

[RobertKron]

Ok playoff push starts next game

 

[CanaFan]

True but also the fact that he was desperate because he was such a horrid drafter and had no prospects on the way.

I don’t see the connection. He handed out NTCs because he was a horrid drafter??

You’ll hafta connect the dots on that one for me.
