Jeez, Kreider is tiny
Jeez, Kreider is tiny
He tried the ribsSo what happened with Jeff Marek?
I was curious immediately the week after free agency. He didn't partake in the coverage, didn't do the last episodes of his own radio show, no final 32 thoughts episode, total radio silence in social media...So what happened with Jeff Marek?
Man for a second I thought it was Trocheck. Good lord Rempe is huge.Jeez, Kreider is tiny
I will miss daily Jeff Marek podcasts (where EF was more of a sidekick) even more. TBH I don’t know why he’d even need Sportsnet at this point - he’s the show.32T was the best podcast. Capfriendly is gone. 32T is gone. It won't be the same pod if they replace Marek with Amber.
Matt Marchese I believe.
32T will continue. Better find a better host that Matt guy who was Marek's producer or David Amber.

Wild sign Faber to 8-year, $68 million extension
The Minnesota Wild signed second-year defenseman Brock Faber to an eight-year extension worth $68 million on Monday.www.espn.com
How does this contract get close to paying out? Faber would have to be a 60-70 point player each year for this contract to make sense. I guess they believe this is going to happen but given their history, it's going to become another Ryan Suter contract after a few years.
Do you mean of the trades where we were going for a run? The infamous Jari Kurri trade with LA has to be worse than E Staal. McD JT -> TB was a TDL move too but we weren't making a run that year.Bye, E. Staal. Worst trade deadline acquisition in team history.
A healthy Hamilton would make a big difference. I feel like he was a big part of making Vitek Vanacek into a 33 W goalie. Less so than Brunette's impact but we'll have to see what an impact Jeremy Colliton can have. They pretty much only have up to go this season. We'll still ****'n crush them.Just want to say, as I read it in the Lindgren thread - Markstrom is not some incredible goalie. He let up 17 goals in the last 5 games of the season. And he’s 34 f*cking years old.
Devs D is good but not world beater status. And Hamilton has issues staying healthy.
That team pretty much lives and dies by Jack Hughes being able to withstand a full season playing against men.
We shall see.
Yeah, going-on-run trades, and the Kurri one was pretty gross tooDo you mean of the trades where we were going for a run? The infamous Jari Kurri trade with LA has to be worse than E Staal. McD JT -> TB was a TDL move too but we weren't making a run that year.
Please accept my apologies for the hurt I have caused you today.Yeah, going-on-run trades, and the Kurri one was pretty gross too
Suter IF he doesn't pan out. I think McD is fair but I'd put this contract on par with Doughty's extension. There is definitely room for this contract to blossom but the number is so high, it sounds risky.Suter?
Faber is 21 and did exceptionally with despite having to handle a massive work load. Think this is a terrific deal for the Wild. He's very, very, very good and will only get better. He doesn't need to put up globs of points to be worth it (though I think his production will remain pretty strong) as he's already legit good defensively. He's screamed McDonagh to me ever since before he was drafted and nothing has really changed on that end for me.
There have been long term contracts to guys handed out this summer that I haven't liked (Slafkovsky for one) but this one is a slam dunk.
Suter IF he doesn't pan out. I think McD is fair but I'd put this contract on par with Doughty's extension. There is definitely room for this contract to blossom but the number is so high, it sounds risky.
I think Doughty's 8x7 extension was like 10.8% of the cap
Faber's is like 9.66%
McD signed 6x4.75 or like 7.3%
7.3% of today's cap is more like $6.5M which is where I'd expect the contract to be. $7.5M would be the high side (8.5%). I mean it's a fine contract but there is a lot of pressure for him to deliver now. Some people thought Trouba would live up to his AAV coming off a 50 point season in WPG and now that contract is the bane of our organization. The point isn't to compare Trouba to Faber. The point is that if you don't meet expectations, people can sour real quick on a contract.
Anyways, Faber's contract feels a lot better than Guhle's. I know the Canadians are high on the kid but not sure what he's accomplished to deserve a $5M+ AAV
