NHL: Around the League 52

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

31 yrs old, I would be concerned with how this will age if I was a Jets fan

But cap hit for now is good



Getting him at only 3 yrs I am surprised how high the AAV is

Two weeks into July it'll look like a bargain.

Any video of Tuomo Ruutu hoisting the Cup? As he was about to take his turn the camera went to another feed on the channel I was watching.

Fifty five point centers getting almost six million dollars. UFA is gonna be silly season.

Saad got 6mil as a 50-55pt winger 10 years ago.

 

[JaegerDice]

Happy Lu finally got his cup

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Saad got 6mil as a 50-55pt winger 10 years ago.

He got paid as a defensive stalwart who could be more offensively. Didn't happen but a kid like Saad ten years ago gets eight million plus in today's market.

Just saying, the Middlestadt contract is nothing really, and a pretty good contract, I'd say.

Oh by the middle of July I think it will look like a bargain agreed.

It does at the end of June.

Why the hell isnt KD doing this kind of shit?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Did Chuck Fletcher and Steve Yzerman have a Freaky Friday moment or something?

Cause this is like Chuck Fletcher is in charge of Wings suddenly

Its a absolute, why didnt we do this exact trade. But aaying this kind of thing I don't get saying because theres 1 ao far.... Wallman did have a mNTC, maybe he was limiting some clubs

This is a weird shock when most expected Holl to get that trade. And numerous posters here have said no to a Holl for a 2nd proposal which I think is silly.

Yzerman has always been overrated so idk. In Tampa I always felt he was wasting years

I dont recall that

I recall people saying no to the nonsense of taking on Holl to move up 3 f***ing spots

 

[BHawk21]

Detriot going for it in free agency?

Guentzel and Skjei?

 

[Cullksinikers]

Some strange moves by Detroit. Giving up a 2nd to clear $3.4M worth of cap being taken up by a decent player is just a really odd way of going about business here. If this is going to be the asking price to move space whether players are well-liked or not, this is an avenue Davidson needs to explore heavily.

Should be a 1st with Holl, based off of this trade.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Wallman wasn’t great last year but still.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

It's a bit more than a sip

As always, it's time for some shenanigans with cup

Florida’s win delivered the seventh-largest NHL audience in the past 30 years — trailing the three previous Cup Final game sevens in 2019, 2011 (Bruins-Canucks: 8.54M) and 2009 (Penguins-Red Wings: 7.99M) and the Blackhawks’ three Game 6 clinchers in 2010 (Blackhawks-Flyers: 8.28M), 2013 (Blackhawks-Bruins: 8.16M) and 2015 (Lightning-Blackhakws: 8.01M).

Both ABC and NHL are happy

Game peaked at 10.3 million in the 10:45 p.m. ET quarter-hour

Add in the #'s in Canada



Those predicting a disaster for NHL ratings wise were very wrong

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

People talk about guy like Torts living off his early career success

WTF has McClellan done in the last decade+ to justify continued hiring?

Columbus just never gonna get things right

Same was probably said when Panthers hired Maurice.
