It won't now, but I'd wager that's in the ballpark of what they'll have to settle on in the end. The whole idea of premier player for premier player like was proposed is rare.
Demko I think you can get without shattering the bank personally. He's a name I would follow to see if he's available.
Ya I follow Vancouver a bit and it sounds like a no go. There was some talk in the media last year, but those actually plugged in to the team kept shooting it down. I'd suspect he would cost similar to Saros in part because of the extra year on his contract and being a bit younger.
Fair enough.
From the current roster alone:
Only signings at an age older than 21/2 were Zub and Giroux. Giroux being an obvious reason to sign here that most don’t have, being from there. Comparing a post ELC contract and soon to be UFA is apples to oranges.
Methot believes that DBC is using the cloak of his role on the team to hide the real reason he wants out, being that he doesn’t want to stay in Ottawa.
Gotcha, thanks.
Fair enough. I get it. We had to take quantity on everyone we dealt as well. Luckily, the Karlsson trade worked out as well as it did or we'd be fooked.
Maybe he wanted more time with Stutzle and Brady? Top line no question play with the best 2 players, not 2nd line, sort of thing.
Ha. Great reference.
I don't like how he speaks so definitively and accusatory. Like, if that's the reason given, who are you to say he's a liar Methot. Simmer down. It's basically a theory on Methot's part, but he can't say either.
Gotcha. Well, can't win then I guess. Maybe he just expected a better center. I might not have been happy about playing with Pinto or Brassard primarily and may see it as a contributing factor to numbers dipping and thus future contract getting smaller.
