Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXXXVII: What An Ugly Number

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Wonder if a GM tries to grab Sandin at some point from the Leafs. Or goes the signing route....1.38 million- 2 million only costs a 3rd.

For a rebuilding team, it's worth the shot.

I like him, but we already have Seeler.

Well I said a rebuilding team. A team does not add Torts, ADA, Deslaurier and try out Roussel and Anisimov...and not think of itself as a playoff team.

Oh, Grosenick too!

 

[Magua]

He's easily worth a 1st if he performs close to the prospect he was prior to this season. Heiskanen plays the right side but Dallas is light on RHDs.

2023 firsts tho...at your own risk.

I don't disagree, but the Rangers did their best to diminish his hype. The player even asked for a trade. And they still got good value at a position of strength. Former 1st round pick shine always sticks.

Meanwhile, the Flyers ruin players' values and sell at that new price point. How about a 2023 2nd for Tippett, is that doable? The Flyers probably wouldn't even take it.

It's amazing to me that Sandin hasn't seen an offer sheet for a 2nd round pick. His NHL sample is impressive -- it's not a guess. The guess is how it projects to higher usage, but we've seen that story before. I've always liked Sandin back to the Soo. I said it a couple months ago that Sandin is basically what Andrae is hyped as. Not that the Flyers would ever get creative buying low on an RFA, let alone a sub 6ft LHD. Position of strength/redundancy, blah blah.

True creativity means having no second round picks to get creative with.

Well there it is. Highest cap hit in the league

Milk

 

[landsbergfan]

Well there it is. Highest cap hit in the league

best contract in the NHL

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

He probably could have gotten $14M+ if he pushed for it.

He probably could have gotten $14M+ if he pushed for it.

At least he's won something, unlike the guy in Edmonton he just jumped in salary.

Does Makar get 15 sheets?

Does Makar get 15 sheets?

Six seasons from now? Probably.

 

[Curufinwe]

Colorado got a good discount. Imagine how high the cap will be in another 5-6 years.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

It’s ultimately his choice & all that. So I respect that. But looking at this from a financial standpoint league wide I’d imagine the NHLPA will be disappointed.

MacKinnon in 2023 & Matthews in 2024 you had two great opportunities to surpass McDavid’s $12.5M mark from four years ago to start pushing top players salaries up. MacKinnon is making $100K more per year.

 

[Curufinwe]

Matthews should be the guy to blow it open.

How long till we match the offer to try to keep Kev dog the face of our franchise in Philly?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I’d imagine he’ll more likely to be the one to break the $14M+ threshold but to have both would have really made McDavid’s $12.5M bench mark irrelevant imo.

Other GM’s can keep pointing to $12.5M & $12.6M as a ceiling. McDavid, Matthews, & MacKinnon are arguably the three best players in the world. GM’s can just point to McDavid & MacKinnon’s caphits to keep other players below them down. McDavid & MacKinnon are undervalued all things considered for what they’re being paid/producing.

I'm already scared for the Flyers.

 

[TCTC]

He's probably played for more NHL teams now than the entire Colorado team combined and he's not even 30.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Lots of Flyers here.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Locked.
