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

 

[Coffees]

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

 

[McHelpus]

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

 

[TheNumber4]

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.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Surprise surprise

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

 

[McHelpus]

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

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Greenberg with another assist tonight

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

Secondary assist machine. What an absolute unit

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Imagine signing a 11+ million extension, and your fans are talking about baby steps and how you might start turning a corner (Ep40)

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Only reason nucks aren't losing is their goalie. Horrible defensively tonight

Wish we could get 5 pps in a game. Or 6. I lost track they get so many

 

[McHelpus]

0/5 powerplays

 

[CanadasTeam99]

0/5 powerplays

No shots on their last 3 pps. Refs tried to help but they didn't take it

If they win their goalie will have stolen it. Wonder what that feels like...

 

[harpoon]

Canuck fans … stupidest chumps in the league. The evidence just continues to pile up.

 

[BlackDogg]

Garland between games

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Nucks lose in so

2 straight loser poverty points in 2 games

Petey nowhere to be found

Canucks look like they did take a step back from last year; however, skinny Pete is still skinny Pete.

I’m not saying he’s guaranteed to returning to elite form , but I personally wouldn’t count him out

[Louis Cypher]

That airplane scene is perfect.

So how many x-oilers are scoring tomorrow?
