Pionk did a thing again.

Pionk did a thing again.

He’s gonna put up .8-.9 ppg this year. Yes I know Winnipeg has some great players up front but I don’t give a shit. He’s one of the most improved dmen in hockey

 

[Daves a mess]

IF Taylor Hall ever shows interest in playing for the Rangers please Gorts and JD. STAY AWAY.

 

[NYRKING30]

Matthews with another 2 goals tonight.

He was good when he was here, everyone just had an irrational hate on for him.

he wasn't good. But, he only got to play under one coach... now that he's gone to a better environment he's blossomed.

It wasn't irrational. we knew he could get points, but he also couldn't defend.

 

[Leonardo87]

I really hate these divisions and season. Have to play these bird brains 3 more times.

 

[Cmox]

I’m at the point when any mention of a Canadian team player putting up points I sorta say to myself “ But it’s the no defense division”. This season should have asterisks next to stats. It’s definitely fun but I sorta don’t take it seriously. Am I just salty?

 

[Raspewtin]

finally I found a player who's name I don't care to hear even more than Stutzle

it's Pionk

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

How is it Carolina somehow managed to get a PPG center in Trocheck for a literal pile of garbage?

they both have dumb names. Except I'm happy for Pionk. Started from the bottom and now he's here

Thats your opinion and its still wrong.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

He was partnered with staal trying to shut down the top lines, that was never gonna work.

 

[leetch99]

Thats your opinion and its still wrong.

I remember one shift in particular he had that kind of stands out while he was a Ranger.....his end to end on the Habs and the goal.....was PRICELESS .

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Thats your opinion and its still wrong.

What’s wrong, that he wasn’t good here? Because he wasn’t outside of the occasional pretty goal.

 

[Irishguy42]

We're back, baby

 

[duhmetreE]

To continue here.

ESPN/ESPN+/ABC with NBC/USA/Peacock ( or Fox ) is a win for the NHL

NOW.... just to get gate receipts, concessions, merchandise etc to the point where orgs can pay bills... its a good start though

The players are going to owe A LOT of money... Tactically speaking, we should be signing all of our core players to 8 year deals ( Laf, Kakko, Fox, KAM etc ). So, their value will be insane once the Players pay back everything and the cap normalizes based off of actual revenue.

@duhmetreE

Answering your earlier question, if the escrow balance is paid off before the term of this current CBA, both sides need to come to agreement on how to raise the upper limit:

• Upper Limit will remain at $81.5 Million until Preliminary HRR for the just completed League Year surpasses $3.3 Billion.
• For any League Year where Preliminary HRR is between $3.3 Billion and $4.8 Billion, the Upper Limit for the following League Year shall be between $81.5 Million and $82.5 Million on a pro rata basis (e.g., if Preliminary HRR is $4.05 Billion, the Upper Limit will be $82 Million).
• Once Preliminary HRR for the immediately preceding League Year surpasses $4.8 Billion, the Upper Limit will increase by $1 Million per League Year until the Escrow Balance is paid off.
• The parties can agree to increase the Upper Limit in excess of $1 Million in order to allow for a smoother transition into the ‘Lag’ formula.

Prior to COVID, HRR was ~5B. Next year's HRR will see if clearing the escrow balance is remotely possible in the current term.

Trocheck was a guy I really wanted us to check in on.

 

[aufheben]

Hmm. Winnipeg has been playing Dubois 15:53 a night. That doesn’t seem like a ton.

 

[bl02]

There goes the North again. Draisaitl should have about 10 points by nights end.

 

[bl02]

Boom just like that Zucc and Kaprizov combine for pp goal in the third.
