Max 8 years for RFAs, max 5 years for UFAs and max 2 years for players over age 33.Selfishly I wish contracts were limited to 5 year max terms.

Give me the deets!
I wouldn't even go 8 for RFAs. I want 5 overall.Max 8 years for RFAs, max 5 years for UFAs and max 2 years for players over age 33.
8 years is fine, that's the reward for drafting and developing players. 3 years ELC + 8 years. Then he can be UFA.I wouldn't even go 8 for RFAs. I want 5 overall.
I hope Landy quickly let the team turn the page and move on from him if true. Take your LTIR paycheck then later move behind the bench as an assistant coach.
Once he makes up his mind about a player that’s it. No amount of facts will dissuade him.Nathan MacKinnon had 38 points in his 2nd season.
Zegras' best is 60+. In what world is that "almost as good"?
PLD was a massive risk. Norris always injured. You really think Nelson and Horvat are better than Mitts? Only one that’s clear is Miller to me and we couldn’t afford that salaryQuinn has had injuries. I'm sure he pan out fine eventually though. Too good of shot to not find a role in the NHL.
Norris, Zegras, PLD, Horvat, Miller and Nelson. PLD is a pure effort issue, but he's drastically more talented player. Norris just needs to stay healthy. Horvat, Miller and Nelson are very clearly above. Zegras needs a change of scenery, but if it happens, he's going to likely turn into an all star level player.
I'm probably the biggest Mitts tire pumper as there has ever been. He was very clearly not the sexy piece in that trade and he was not very highly regarded in comparison.
The league was way different from 2014 to 2016 than it is now. Benn led the league with 87 points in one of those seasons. McDavid has nearly doubled that in recent years. What Zegras is putting up 3rd liner numbers currently. Though I do think he is better than this he’s also not MacKI mean Mack put up 38, 52, and 53 points in b2b2b seasons and is now one of the best players in the league. If any fanbase should get development isn't linear it should be us.
Nelson has scored 34+g the last 3 seasons. Horvat has been 30+. Both play decently heavy defensive roles until Horvat went to the island. Yeah they are better or at minimum were better the last couple years. Norris is an injury risk, but higher ceiling and been better than Mitts. PLD is certainly a risk, but he’s also played at a higher level.PLD was a massive risk. Norris always injured. You really think Nelson and Horvat are better than Mitts?

I mean I’m not saying he’s gonna be a Mackinnon level player?The league was way different from 2014 to 2016 than it is now. Benn led the league with 87 points in one of those seasons.

I love Mitts. Have the clear posting history to show that. Those guys (sans Norris) are all more proven than Mitts and many are significantly better. That doesn’t mean Mitts is bad, because he’s great. Just he’s never played a season as the levels Horvat and Nelson have. Nor PLD when he gives a F.
Fair. I think we gotta see what Mitts can do outside of Buffalo too tho. His playoffs were stellar and its continued into this season.Nelson has scored 34+g the last 3 seasons. Horvat has been 30+.

I think Mitts will continue to play well and be a great player here. That’s not at all what I’m saying in this though… those players were all seen as superior players compared to Mitts. Mitts flourishing now doesn’t change the past views.Fair. I think we gotta see what Mitts can do outside of Buffalo too tho. His playoffs were stellar and its continued into this season.
NHL Rumor Roundup: Latest Trade Talk On The Avalanche And Maple Leafs https://thehockeynews.com/news/nhl-rumor-roundup-latest-trade-talk-on-the-avalanche-and-maple-leafs
Looks like an Elway family reunionWhich one is which?
The guys a hack.
Yep. That’ll fix everything.Fire Bednar and hire Gardiner MacDougall
Landy’s done. $7M right there. I know Rantanen needs a raise, too.So Kovalenko's ELC expires at the end of this season. That kinda sucks.
it was Miller + for Byram and Newhook. Avs would have gotten an additional (good) piece. There was also discussion around Miller for Byram + with the plus being far less significant than Newhook.So according to the Canucks' Rick Dhaliwal, a couple of summers ago when J.T. Miller was being shopped the Canucks asked the Avs for a package involving both Bowen Byram and Alex Newhook and the Avs said no.
Honestly... I wish they made that trade. I love Mittelstadt, but J.T. Miller is on a different level and I can only imagine how good the Avs could have looked especially last season with him in tow.
That said, I think he's a vastly overrated defensive player and would NEED one of Lehkonen/Nichushkin on his line to make it work.
Ah well, hypotheticals.
