You’re upset we gave Charlie McAvoy a fair market deal?
Tampa Bay's Kucherov, Point and Vasilevskiy all make 9.5 M each. You really think McAvoy is as good as any of those three? I'm not upset. He's just a little overpaid, considering he doesn't have much of an NHL shot.

And see I feel the complete opposite.

I don't know how you replace Grzelcyk with anything on the free agent market. He wasn't the problem.
He certainly wasn't the solution in the playoffs.

I really like a wait and see type approach with this team now. So today:

-Nobody gets more than 2 years, and ideally 1 year anywhere you can
-I wouldn't even make many trades. The value at the deadline or midyear when team's have LTIR open up is far superior. So sure, maybe you do Griz now. But I wouldn't do anyone else. We could be one of the big winners at the deadline this coming year
-I do like the idea of a tough team to help the young kids. So by all means get big and mean

And if the team surprises at plays well? Great! But at least we have some flexibility.
The only issue I have with this is they’re not going to trade Ullmark mid season if they’re in the playoff race. But if the offers aren’t great right now then it’s best to hold onto him anyway.

For sure dude I can’t believe one of the finalists for MVP who scored 60+ goals got paid.

What are we even doing here?
Fair value? Absolutely. Team friendly, I'd say not exactly. It is what it is.

But gone are the days of their best players on discounts, so any boneheaded moves on the bottom of the roster can't be disguised as easy this time around.

Why? I can’t imagine trading Carlo for draft picks. Maybe if someone offered some firsts or something. Who are the high profile UFA ? I like bertuzzi. Maybe orielly or duchene. Dumba would be nice. It’s not a super stacked ufa year is it? Seems kinda thin to me. Bertuzzi is my favourite ufa. Sadly it feels like that ship might have sailed. We will see Sweeney tends to surprise me when he does anything.
Stay away from Duma ,

Exactly they wasted those team friendly contracts by Marchand Bergeron etc by making horrible free agent decisions on 3rd and 4th line players and defenseman. Has Don Sweeney made one good free agent signing. He’s had to get rid of or buy put everyone.

The previous coach had the same concerns with this player come playoff time and he just won the Cup
And during the regular season but the captain was upset the way said player was treated. Also I thought the coaches were the problem but this core shat the bed for all three. The cup Julien won was a different core with Recchi etc. Time to change the players.

Do you agree?
