Around the League 47 Vancouver Collects All the Petterssons

[Nikishin al Gaib]

oh no!

anyway.

I know, I probably shouldn't have posted this here.

Probably need to watch it one or two more times just to be sure.

 

[CandyCanes]

That be expensive. But cap is going up I guess

 

[Chrispy]

Oh I think you are misremembering the past a bit.

We didn't make playoffs for JR's last five years here.

So the second half push was even worse.

We went from "great" to "meh" draft pick, and didn't even have playoffs to enjoy.

God I do not miss the Karmanos days

I think we agree: Lou's version is better because while they are delaying a rebuild, they at least sneak into the playoffs.

On paper, it does, but Chychrun is only going to be 27 when the contract starts, meaning an 8 year extension is almost all prime years except maybe the final season or two. IOW, this is probably worth it unless his play falls off a cliff again.

It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't in this case. The UFA market for D men this offseason is pretty bad. Provorov is the only other player close to Chychrun and he's not as offensively talented, a year older and at least with Chychrun you know what you have and the situation works.

It's a big contract and he's probably not really 'worth' that much but if you lose him your team is much worse and if you can afford the cap hit you might as well roll with it.

 

[Stanky and Janky]

I think the Caps did what made the most sense in keeping him and it is likely good for Chychrun as well since he seems to fit in well. This does feel like a high Dougie potential deal where they get several years where he misses some time and possibly not even just on the back end of the contract. He's stayed on the ice more the last couple seasons but I don't know that I trust him to do it going forward very much.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Flat cap ($81.5 mil) equivalent:

25-26 - $7.68 mil
26-27 - $7.05 mil
27-28 - $6.46 mil

 

[DaveG]

I can't tell what the typo is there. Could be 8 x 7.9, or 8 x 9, or even crazier (but can't see it) 8/79m

 

[chaz4hockey]

8 with a great shot and a goal

Big boy hockey, now tied 2-2, 4 minutes left.

 

[User13452]

It sure is setting up like ovie is gonna break the record at home April 10th against the canes and I won’t be surprised one bit if that happens lol

 

[Joe McGrath]

He scored from his spot down 1 goal against the best defensive team and goalie in the league with 4 minutes left?

Oh he’s a one trick pony who does one thing? Yeah and no one can stop it. In 20 goddamn years. Remarkable.

yup and in his prime he could skate like the wind; when he checked you it hurt.

The funniest part is that I feel like somebody here called that happening like six months ago.

I'll be in the house for that so I won't complain if he does. Score early to get it out the way and then Carolina romps to a win.

 

[Bub]

On TSN just now, a group discussion about "Which team or player has done the most to silence the haters?" Sam Cosentino picks Carolina: "still a 100-point team, and I like their first round matchup against the Devils."

The host responds "Ok, but is it really hate? When you think of Carolina, isn't it really...Meh?"

Everybody laughs.

Canadians talk A LOT for a country that collectively hasn't accomplished as much as the Canes since the move from Hartford

Win and they shut up

 

[MinJaBen]

Wrong. They will all say that the Canes were their dark horse pick all along, praise Rod’s system, and talk about Dundon’s shrewdness

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I'm skeptical that Dundon would get any flowers. He's too non-traditional for comfort.

More likely, Tlusky would get love for overcoming meddlesome ownership.

 

[sabremike]

Just figured out a move Terry Pegula can make to fix the Sabres:

Hire Dany Heatley as his new limo driver.

A little dark for my tastes.

I'd go with Terry Pegula giving an uber ride to Patrick Kane.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Sounds like Torts is out in Philly. Which makes sense, given his postgame comments the other night.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

The hell they will. 06 was damn near 20 years ago and people on this stupid website still say that team lucked their way to the cup.

 

[Borsig]

Confirmed torts gone.

I mean, he basically said "I dont know how to coach a team to lose, so, whatever, go f*** yourself." Can't blame the guy.

Though I wouldn't want him anywhere near this team. Maybe as a PP coach lol.

Nah it'll be endless talk of how much of a fluke it was and how the team was one of the worst championship teams to ever play.
