There have been rumours of him signing another 2 year extension and it's been discussed at length here and on the prospects board. As for the 8 year thing, I can't speak to where the guy got it from, but it's out there. Don't pretend that teams aren't worried about this because it's being talked about whether you like it or not. Slagging on some guy because he says things you don't want to believe.
I am a big Léonard fan. Big mean, plays big, scores goals and seems to be a great team player. So I guess it’s Leonard at 5!!
Not anybody as in no human beings?
It’s almost as if that dimension is a lot more valuable than Premium Grinder like Kunitz or Shaw.
I made my research on the topic myself. There’s nothing there except a couple of KHL employees adding an extra year everytime a blogger calls them. Nothing from Michkov at all. Everything from Michkov points the other way. I’m not worried either that he might be diagnosed with a terminal illness or that he gets a freak horse-riding accident. Maybe I’m just wallowing in a world of make believe.
I think I saw sometime that the consensus rankings still beats any one GM or Head Scout’s record.
Leonard and his style of play would quickly make him a fan favorite in Montreal.
Except for signing a long-term deal in the KHL in the first place. But hey, maybe it was just to throw people off.
I also hope we draft someone that helps us win in the playoffs.
Considering it was his father that negotiated it when he was 15 years old and is now dead, I would say it’s a long shot.
Exactly where I was going except I was using non-human intermediaries to get there.
Depends somewhat also on the time window Hugo are looking at with what they know and when they’d like a core/budget locked they can build with I’d say. There’s probably a point where you trade picks for assets too.
1) any 15 year old in Russia would commit to 200k USD a year. That’s incredibly good money.
Anderson, 6pts in 21 games in our finals run.
It’s BS that a given player is the guy you win Cups with. You need a bit of everything. Flyers have the reputation, deserved or not, of staying away from Europeans and getting good NA boys that play the right way. In a year, it’ll be 50 years since the Flyers won a Cup. All those hockey-tough character guys with sandpaper that play the right way and win you Cups have come and gone and are now forgotten.
Where exactly did I say we don't need PPG players?
It is in our best interest to keep bluffing about any player in that "best of the rest" tier (Leonard, Reinbacher, Benson) if we are indeed skipping Michkov.
Some people just need to categorize, and the problem is they often use ready-made stereotypes to define their categories.
