Salary Cap: 24 25 Salary Thread Crosbicles Volume Mmxxvii Retool over Time to Go for A Cup in 2026

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

pens will probably trade Karlsson to recoup said investment. Now with Timmins, Brunicke, the either one of the other draft picks and St Ivany, Letang will need to be a 17 minute RD. A lot depends on his LD.
 
Going to be real. It doesn't help Letang we don't have good LD.

I really felt we had 2 years for our window and we missed the playoffs those 2 years. I expected year 5 and 6 to hurt on Letangs deal. Looks like year 3 to 6 going to hurt

You can't out of that cyclical respone :D.
"Dubas, historically speaking, every season where they have canned a coach, they are pretty darn good at winning a cup shortly after. Comments on Sullivan?"

Wonder if he semi-regrets a SIX year extension. There does come a point when you're no longer performing at elite levels where your motivation starts to die off.

The entire PPG thing has never made sense to me. Sid’s crazy consistent. We know that. Not sure if the record really does anything for his legacy.

It doesn't, but people are starved to death for anything to give a f*** about with this organization anymore.

He already has the record for consecutive seasons at over a PPG. He'll have the record for consecutive seasons at a PPG after this one. But I don't really give a shit tbh. He's already cemented as a top 5 player all time imo. Doesn't matter if he gets more points to move up the scoring leaderboard or if he snags this PPG streak.
 
Anyhow, I think Mario's 5 goals 5 ways is the far more impressive NHL record. Sid playing a decade of B+ hockey doesn't get my heart going pitter patter in the same way.

Mario's 5 goals 5 ways is cool and unlikely to be repeated, but it's not really a "record" that I put much stock into. Crosby's two deacdes-long PPG+ play is similarly not a "record" I care about, but it is a huge testament to his game. And I have no idea how you call it "B+" hockey. It's nothing short of A+, IMHO.

When was the last spectacular year of highlights from Crosby? I’m not asking about his stats.
 
Note: this does not take away from Sid’s career, I am talking purely about aesthetics here.
He looks fine

Like Crosby in 2015 is not playing remotely the same as Crosby in 2025 and you are kidding yourself if you think he is. Just be honest with yourself.
You could say the same thing about Crosby in 2015 versus Crosby in like 2010 tbh.

What's amazing about Sid is he's constantly evolved and continued to produce at an elite level for pretty much his whole career even as his raw power and speed took a step back as he got older.
 
Yeah, for sure. But that’s still doesn’t make it A+ hockey. That’s all I’m saying. Not denying the genius of Sid here, just pointing out the physical difference here in Sid eras.
