Vegas Golden Knights Sign Defenseman Shea Theodore to Seven-Year Contract Extension | Vegas Golden Knights
Theodore signs with Golden Knights through 2031-32 season
www.nhl.com
Theodore extends for 7 years at $7.4 million aav. Damn, I figured with the Hanifin signing, they'd opt to mover Theodore to retool and get a bit younger. Theodore is an absolute stud tho

I wanna see Brady do this to Rasmussen as the Sens demolish the Wings after a game. We need to continue the bad blood between both teams
Not a fan of this deal, was hoping Laf would ask for $9 million and squeeze the Rags, but looks like he's down with the Drury plan. He'll be a monster if he ever starts getting PP time

I think the deal will grow really nicely.
We're at an awkward point with the cap where both the agents and GMs know it is going to grow, so there is some give and take between what players get because even a deal like this has a lot of risk for the player. In 2 years with the cap at 100M+, this is 2nd line money.
A big factor to consider is that this buys up a lot of UFA years. People are going to compare this to all the other 8Mx7-8 year deals signed by other young stars, but most of those have come off of the ELC, and some of those players didn't even burn 3 full RFA years on their ELC.
Lafreniere is giving up 5 UFA years. Stutzle gave up 4. Guenther only gave up 3. Beniers only gave up 2. Byfield gave up only gave up 1.
The Rangers did very well with Lafreniere. They got him on a bridge deal for very cheap during a window when they were contending, then they bought up 5 UFA years for what is going to end up being in a realistic worst case scenario, market value for a top 6 forward. He only got modest trade protection, and he does not have signing bonuses beyond the third year of the contract.

Yup. Not sure what their plan is with him but Blomqvist is a real option to take over as starter. Was great in the AHL last year and looks ready for the NHL.

I wonder if he's being 100% honest. Almost look like a list in hindsight
The guy asked him what it would have cost to get the Sens 4th OA pick with the 8th OA and he said "at least a 2nd round pick"

That leadup to the Bruins OT winner was a classic.
Matthews can't handle some pressure.
Marner is checked out and heading off on a line change, game state be damned,
Reilly thinks the 3 of them are about to push forward. He eventually sprints back to overshoot his own net while the Bruins score.
It's such a Toronto moment. 3 players who have been with each other for years on completely different pages.
Is Matthews the most culpable? Yeah, probably. But I've seen so many bad changes by Marner like that that have cost his team goals. I've seen Reilly misread and panic so many times as well. Nothing has changed.

they generally start slow.
apparently a 4-4 record is common for them to start in the past few years except 1

I hope not lol
I was in and out of the car so I didn't listen to the whole interview
Crosside seems to have listened to it
Damn, there's a few who wouldn't enjoy that on the main boardsI don’t remember but I don’t think so. Would have stood out to my ears. Another thing he said the same interview that stood me. He said if he a gm again, he’s man would be Julien. So probably he try to bring him but Melnyk want not to payI hope not lol

Just listened to the Dorion hit on BPM:
- He would normally be involved in picks that were top 10 or so
- He said he was less involved in the Boucher pick
- Said in 2018 he was bummed they fell to 4th because they had a clear top 3 (Dahlin, Svechnikov, Tkachuk)
- I *think* he said he didn't have any live viewings of Tkachuk that year
- Went to go see Zadina against Baie Comeau and immediately said "we're not drafting this guy". Said there were rumours of character concerns.
- Their list at the end-of-season scouting meeting was (he says if his memory serves him correctly) Dahlin, Svechnikov, Tkachuk, Bouchard, Hughes, Dobson, Kotkaniemi, Zadina. The latter 5 were in the same tier.
- Said he liked Tkachuk at the world juniors but was blown away by Hughes. Said he thought it would take a him a few years to learn defence but that he had Erik Karlsson potential.
- He was willing to move from 3rd to 8th.
- Heard Arizona was taking Tkachuk at 5 if he was there
- Attributed his low goal total to having Greenway as his C.
- Said he respects Bergevin and Julien alot (MTL GM/coach at that time) and thinks their downfall wasn't managing or coaching but development. Says if he became GM again, Julien would be his pick for head coach.
- Viewed Kotkaniemi as a second line centre. Thought it would take him a few years to make the NHL.
