[Terry Yake]

that montour contract is not going to age well

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Stammer, Marsh, Toffoli all getting at least a year or two more term than I'd be comfortable with. It sucks to miss out but I have no interest in seeing us beat those numbers.

 

[Duck Off]

Lets not be dramatic. He avoids paying state taxes in half the games.

He would save less then 500k per year by having no state income tax.

I'm not talking about net salary. I'm talking about what it would have taken to get him here instead of there. Nashville is also in a much better spot for a player his age. We'd have had to beat that offer, which IMO would have been 10ish for 4 years.

I actually didn't realize he was slower.

 

[JAHV]

In 26-27, Nashville will have $35.5 million tied up in five players whose average age is 35. They're really banking on the next year or two, because things get ugly after that.

As per free agent tradition

Bummer we missed on stammer and Marchy but understandable w the term.

I’m fairly optimistic that we can still walk away with some combination of Lindholm, Debrusk, Patches, Stenlund & a physical DFD

Sharks improving and Blackhawks improving.

 

[Zegras11]

Well probably sign like Jack Roslivic and Vinnie Desharnais

Definitely wouldn't touch that, has to keep scoring 30+ to live up to that

 

[JAHV]

If the rumors about Lindholm are true (turning down 8 x $7+ million in Vancouver), I'm not sure I want him for whatever it's going to take to sign him. He's good, but he's not 8x$8 good.

It’s tough to the the state tax is a major advantage in UFA when the Lightning had to offer a decently better deal than Carolina was offering and the Predators are going big on term(and AAV with Stammer) for both guys so far.

He's headed to Boston

 

[Son of Gib]

I don't get the Nashville appeal. They're mediocre and will apparently forever be.

 

[cheesymc]

Dang we are missing on alot of players. We couldn't outbid Preds for Marchessault? Sure Preds are a playoff team and has lower taxeds..... damn...
