Why wouldn’t they? Panarin is on the same team dude.

Let me clarify, comparing % of team cap of players signed a year or years ago and at different positions is irrelevant.

Is it just me or does the Cup look beat to shit?

 

[Langway]

How is Lysell not in Boston's lineup? They just want to grind Florida with that thin forward lineup and the Zadorov add. Dumb.

I still predict the Panthers going back to the finals this year. I don’t think they’ll win it, but I could see them getting back there.

 

[Langway]

I would bet on either of last year's ECF teams at this point. Hard to figure who has done much to make the jump into that level. NJD could get there with a big year and further progression from their many skilled younger players. But it seems like a stretch. And certainly Florida remains the team to beat despite their blueline losses.

If I had to put money on the finals this year I’d probably predict a rematch, with Edmonton winning this time

It's one game but it is funny that Seattle bet so much on Stephenson.

He benefited from very good linemates in Vegas, not to mention fantastic structure / system.

He won't get that playing for Seattle.

But you know what he and Bura have that the rest of our Caps don't? Twice as many Stanley Cup rings! Which is kind of amusing - to me at least.

Nylander and Panarin have zero bearing on Shesty’s next deal.

Friedman reported that Shesterkin wants to be the highest paid player on the Rangers roster, so Panarin -contract is definitely going to have bearing on that contract. I think Panarin's contract is 11.6m AAV so doubt he'll get there but that seems to be the mark for him.

Crazy how Nashville just gave up on Tolvanen

I’ll repeat…Cap % of other players signed in other years at other positions is irrelevant.

Great he wants to be the highest paid Ranger. Noble guy.

I made my argument and this is getting pointless so moving on.

Ullmark getting the same AAV as Swayman. Interesting move to sign him already without playing a game there.

Don’t give him a chance to run AFTER he sees what’s he’s playing with? lol…
