GDT: Around The League 24/25. Preseason ends, the regular season begins!!

Was it? I think he had to take the money while he could. He's in that category of negligible guarantees. The 2M sounds good and I doubt he'd get more.

Vinnie after all is age 28 and barely in the league even in prime. There wasn't going to be much or any money in hockey after this.

If he is on the shelf a lot this year he may well find himself a buyout candidate, though his contract is pretty good in that regard.. I suspect if he stayed in Edmonton he could have gotten two years at $1.5M or so and would have probably had a longer leash. Ultimately, the longer he stays in the league the more money he will make.

This was probably his only opportunity to get a contract that is a bit more than league minimum.
After this contract is done he’ll probably bounce around the league on PTO and league minimum deals. That being said, I’d rather have him on our team over the dumpster collection of Brown/Stecher/Dermott/Emerson.

I'd rather listen to Madonna sing than get VD.

Chicago giving Winnipeg much more of a fight than we did

0-0 7 min left in the second

Just playing simple positional defense

Hey guys I'm respecting your guys request of staying off the Oilers threads, but I figure since this is the around the league thread, I would be welcomed here.

Anyway, I wanted to bring up the fact that Jiricek was benched on the Blue Jackets for Jack Johnson. Are they tainting his development ?

Seems bizzare and I really do think he will want out eventually, I think Oilers should be all over that and even if you have to trade away futures, it may pay off.

cheers

Kucherov scores 2 en goals

4 point night

Not sure who JJ Moser is but he is playing top pairing minutes with Hedman.

I like Vinny and I hope he stays in the league for a long time. But this was a risky move on his part.

It's just one scratch, early in the season, this means barely anything.

Surprise surprise

Canucks with 2 pps early. That's 6 in their first periods in 2 games

It seems like sportsnet has put every St.Louis game on TV, they are just trolling us

Broberg another second assist for backhanding a puck into the back of his teammates skate a few feet in front of him in his own zone.

Broberg … he’s so hot right now … broberg
