Heddy being out can be good Sergy. He's been living in the shadow of a legend and maybe for the next little bit he has to be the guy. Let's see if he can handle it.
I think you know that the dollars involved are what I was getting at and that they are what makes Sergy's contract somewhat unique.
but it's based upon potential, just like the majority of NHL contracts
Is Nathan McKinnon's new contract based on potential or what he has already proven that he can do? Colorado gave him the big money and term because they expect him to be exactly what he has been, not necessarily something more than that.
nate mac was an UFA, we bought UFA years which costs money.
I have not suggested or implied that this is a JBB failure. Now, if Sergy's development stagnates and the player he is today is the player that he always is, then it will be. Simply put, to me, this contract is more of a gamble than most in this dollar range based on past performance. This one is still mostly about potential and usually when a contract like this one is given out, the proof is, for the most part, already there. That's all. We know the talent is there, can he put the complete game together to justify it?
thats fair. its a contract and must have consideration by both parties, so it's always going to be a gamble. i dont want to stratify it, but whatever. i disagree that most contracts on RFAs are more guaranteed performance-wise, but again, whatever.
I never used the word guaranteed. As the saying goes, "past performance is not a guarantee of future success", ever, no matter who you are talking about. I just find Sergy to be a uniquely enigmatic player with a larger beta than most at this stage of his career and with the contract he's got. In short, you don't want to stratify it, and I sort of am.
I think compared to past TB contracts, as opposed to league wide contracts, this one looks like a bigger gamble. Probably the biggest gamble we've seen in a while on an RFA.
Your avatar is even more relevant now.
He has another mistake to identify publicly. I want an apology for giving Dallas a point.
I have a rivalry with Dallas fans. It means a lot to me.Who. Cares if Dallas got a point they are in the other conference. You should be thanking him. For giving tampa overtime practice
Don't you mean $4.8m ? Cheap for a defenseman that is 6th in D man points, 0 +/-, scoring at a point per game, and eating up 24 minutes a night.
When Hedman decided to play like a 70 year old. About 5 games ago.when exactly did he start running PP1? rough for us hedman fantasy owners
Sorry but don't try to frame this as him not being worthy of that kind of money or paying for potential.
