I think you can with some. Like the Vezina, Selke, and Norris.
Hart definitely should be for a playoff performer, though.

Its A Kingspiracy !
Such a terrible call. Tippet couldn't understand how his goalie was getting a penalty either and the refs needed to explain it too him. . He was pretty reckless with that stick all playoffs.Tried to remove Richards spleen with a slash after Penner scored the GWG.

Fox was the right choice for Norris.
Makar just missed too many games. I'd have had McAvoy right behind. Hedman had no business there this year, he was getting the reputation boost that everyone always accused Doughty of.
Starting to see a little changing of the guard really, sort of like when Lidstrom/Chara started aging up and Doughty/Karlsson/Keith started taking over. Maybe one of those guys has one more left in him, if the writers can resist 'defaulting' to Hedman just because.

Doesn't McDonagh's pairing take the harder assignments anyways?
Doughty of the three would be my pick. I like to think the Kings core guys all have another ring and Doughty has another Norris and Quick gets the all time wins record for an American goalie.

The Oilers board had a thread with a poll where they predicted RNH's new contract, and the overwhelming majority had it at 5.5 million at 5 or 6 years. Yet when he signs for basically 5.2 million for 8 years with a full NMC for the entire contract, everyone (including Oiler fans) are acting like it's some incredible steal. Giving 8 years and a full NFC is scary enough, to do it with a non superstar would scare the crap out of me

The Norris has officially turned into a points awards. Doughty can never put up the kind of pointz the writer like now. He can have a universally accepted great season in all areas, but if he's 10 points behind one the scoring dmen... no dice. A strong defensive game is no longer a top priority today.
Quick needs 56 more wins to pass Miller. So he's going to need a couple pretty good seasons to get close. He hasn't cracked 20 wins since 2017-18.

I'll order you a red cap and a Speedo.
Toews looks good. Refreshed. Hopefully he'll be back in a Blackhawks uni next season.

It's all about supply and demand. When RNH is one of the better UFAs available, this is what happens. The in demand player will always have leverage in individual contract negotiations. As the Oilers, with all the pressure to win because of McDavid, they have two choices; basically give RNH what he wants, or watch him choose to leave.

That's fine, but don't try and spin it as some kind of steal
if this were a sign and trade with LA i would be in favor of it. I like the contract and the player.

It depends on which part of the contract you're focusing on. In the short term, it's a bit of a steal. The Oilers are desperate to get something going. They have 5 years left with McDavid, and 4 with LD. Those are the only years they care about. The last 3 years of RNH's contract, potentially post-McDavid, it's whatever. If the Oilers don't win soon, those years probably won't matter one way or the other anyway.
NMC, term, those usually suck in a hard cap league. Just the cost of doing business at this point though.
only part of RNH's contract that I don't think is worthwhile for the oilers is the fact the last few season have signing bonuses. This means it will be costly to buy out final years if he does not age well.

Those last 3 years are the next GM’s problem.

How could Blake have known?
Montreal is a way better team than anyone gives them credit for, even making it to the final people couldn’t admit it. Very few teams can take it to Tampa like that for 40 minutes.
Vasilevsky has to be the most underrated goalie, and maybe player in the league. I know he gave up that stinker but he has made some huge saves again tonight. Yes he plays on a stacked team, but that shouldn’t minimize how great he is. His stacked team didn’t really bother to show up yet they are up going into the third because of him.

Vasilevsky really should’ve won the Vezina again this year, but in the last decade, only one goalie has twice won the Vezina, and it’s the most overpaid goalie in the league: Sergei Bobrovsky.

It's ok, Montreal gets to return home to it's 3500 fans inside the arena and 25,000 fans outside of it. Because that makes so much sense.
Putting 10k vaccinated fans in every other seat in the arena to help support the team is apparently a threat to public health, but hockey Coachella outside with strangers bear hugging each other after every goal is ok to the Province of Quebec. The Habs should have asked the league to let them play in Boston, they fill that arena guaranteed.
