Tidbits: Around the League: NHL News - Part 3

[Spurgeon]

I think I made my point.

Only NHL executives and Freddy Gaudreau can make those

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Huberdeau with a massive extension.

 

[DeagleJenkins]

Huberdeau with a massive extension.

i did not expect that length but should be solid for the majority of it.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Huberdeau with a massive extension.

Start with that for Kaprizov and then add.

 

[BagHead]

Huberdeau with a massive extension.

I don't love what his final few years will probably be like. Occasionally, though, players do live up to these deals. It'll be interesting to see if Huberdeau ages more like wine or milk.

 

[AKL]

Start with that for Kaprizov and then add.

He'll be 29 at his next contract. Not sure I wanna be the team that gives him 7/8 x 13 until he's 36/37, even as good as he's been.

Very long contracts with high AAV have never bit us in the past.......

Suter and Parise contracts would have been fine if they were only 8 years

 

[Bazeek]

By 2030 $10.5m might buy you a pretty nice used car.

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

Gophers a finalist for Eiserman, who is a top 5 talent for 2024. They lost out in Celebrini (freak prospect), but it sounds like it’s between them, BU, and Nodak for Eiserman

[Wild11MN]

I'm shocked. I assumed the Islanders because it hadn't happened yet.

 

[DeagleJenkins]

10m+ a year?

 

[MuckOG]

10m+ a year?

Friedman reporting 7 x $7 million

 

[DeagleJenkins]

Friedman reporting 7 x $7 million

I thought previous reports were his ask was 9+ and Isles offer was 8+? Interesting that he chose the flames and less money.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Montreal gets a first.

 

[Wild11MN]

The "conditional" aspect of the 2025 1st that Calgary paid to ditch Monahan is crazy.

Canadiens acquire Sean Monahan from Flames | Montréal Canadiens

A conditional first-round pick has also been acquired from Calgary in exchange for future considerations

Dont think he "choose" less money. No one was giving him 9m. Isle's couldn't clear the cap to give him the 8m.

Season's on the horizon, at some point the game of musical chairs has to stop.

I dont believe this spelling was meant to bug me, but it does lol. However I was more so commenting on less money as the talks were out there that Isles offered 8m(+?) so taking 7m is less money.

I agree get all the signings over with, the waiting game is killing me.

What a roller coaster of an off season for calgary.

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

I actually think Calgary might be better than before, albeit older.

Huberdeau > Gaudreau
Tkachuk > Kadri, but positional value is big here
Weegar for free

I have a very low opinion of Huberdeau, I am not worried about them at all. That much movement though generally doesn't lead to immediate rewards, they will take time to form some kind of chemistry most likely, and that was the healthiest team in the league by far last year.

Robertson not signed yet in Dallas? Must be a REALLY contentious negotiation.

I heard he's going back to Russia

Or traded to LA.
