Kaprizov, McDavid, Eichel, Panarin. There’s a lot of big names there. McDavid could smash the all time contract record if he hits UFA status

Xenforo Cloud is doing server maintenance Thurdsay 13th at 9 AM GMT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache. We expect to have this issue solved once the maintenance is complete.

Looks like it’s set at no more than 20% of the salary cap. Would be $17.6 million this year. Never knew they did percentages

The trick to a successful retool on the fly is to acquire two first line centres for free. Why don’t other teams try this? Are they stupid?

I think you only get 4 recalls after the trade deadline, if they didn't give it a shot in February they probably won't in March

Whatever you think of the plus/minus stat, it's still something that the NHL leader in +/- is Alexi Protas. Also, Alexi Protas has as many even strength points as Conor McDavid, and more than Mitch Marner, Mikko Rantanen, Kyle Connor, Sidney Crosby, Jack Eichel, and Artemi Pannarin - to name a few
Depending on who you ask, @twabby for example, yes, they are stupid!
What do I think of +/- as a stat? Its better to be plus than minus, and its really good to lead the league in plus. But I have a simplistic worldview, for what ever that matters.
The problem with +/- in general is that it is largely tied to factors outside your control.
If you're a forward but you play with crappy defenders or a bad goalie, then you are going to wrack up minuses. Conversely, if you're a defensive D who plays a lot with very talented offensive players (*cough* Jeff Schultz *cough*), then you're going to be a big plus.
That's one reason why the analytics gurus try so hard to quantify the quality of chances. Are you a minus player because you're allowing Grade A chances constantly, or are you a minus player because your goalie turns into 2011-12 playoff MAF when you're on the ice?
Fun fact: Jeff Schultz was +50 in 2009-2010 (73 games played) and +28 for the rest of his career combined (336 games outside of 09-10).
