Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXXXV: Halfway to Christmas

The worsssssst.

JVR's contract has one year left. The Flyers are absolutely not going to win the cup next year so burning future assets to free up the contract space one year ahead is such a braindead move. Nothing that Chuck will acquire with that cap space will put the team over the top. All it will do is prolong the mediocrity.

No, you don't understand, we need to make the team better now! We need to clear space and spend that money now! It's not like there are any UFAs coming due in 2023, 2024, 2025, etc. who would be worth hoarding cap space to take a moon shot at for a quicker rebuild or anything. No, we have to overpay for mediocrity RIGHT NOW! This is the way.

I liked all of the talk after the season that JVR had some kind of actual trade value. LOL. He had & has none. Just like even an expansion team didn’t want him for free.

He’s a horrific, albatross contract. No one wants him even in his last year. And the Flyers will have to pay dearly to rid themselves of it.

Negative value. And hurting the Flyers.

Or,, now wait for it , this bottom 5 team just keeps him and lets him walk or sell at deadline.

Desperate GM’s all do the same things when they know they’re on the clock

I'll take Dubas in 3 seconds if he gets canned.

But, but, but then we can't pay Johnny, silly.

It is funny that a bottom 5 team looks like it will buyout their leading goalscorer from last year who only has 1 year left on his deal.

And our top line LW. I ain’t a JVR fan, but you trade him straight up for a pick , or you keep him. Those are the only 2 options.

Exactly. And as you said, you deal him at tge deadline and will get value for him.

Instead, some team is going to double dip with picks because of us. George would be proud.

Malkin says Pens don’t think he’s any good anymore LOL. Hexy working his magic.

Wellllll

 

[BrindamoursNose]

He clearly drew a boob here

He’s injured far too often to pay a lot of money with term.

"The police released this composite image of the individual responsible for hundreds of counts of abuse over the past several years."

After that Letang contract , not sure that applies to Pens.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I don’t know if I can post it because I don’t think there will be a credible source so it probably falls into personal rumors but Ian Cole is trending on Twitter. Ya’ll should check that out.

Murray played for Dubas in Sault Saint Marie.

 

[1865]

I wonder if any player has had a bigger drop from one contract to another than Subban is about to?

 

[Deadpool8812]

Murray played for Dubas in Sault Saint Marie.

It's like Dubas is Fletcher Jr
