HF Habs: Out Of Town Thread: 2024 Off-Season edition (Mod Warning #2635)

[OnTheRun]

Reason why the Florida teams, Vegas and Dallas are powerhouses

That's a bit of a cope here.

Success come from:
Dallas: acing multiples drafts
Vegas: absolute trades juggernaut
Cats: picking up good players for nothing (pro scouting?)

Obviously their taxes situation isn't a disadvantage, but there's more to that.

Vegas were advantaged from the outset.
But yeah it goes without saying it's more than just that.
The facts remain the same.
The idea behind a capped league is to level the playing field in what is deemed to be fair play.
The Idea of Fair Play has to be exercised on all levels not just some.

They able to keep their players cheap. Ie. Reinhart. Gives them big advantage

They acquired Reinhart for Levi and a late 1st before he got really productive. And that's kind of key here.

I'd argue the idea of a capped league is to limit labor cost. The so-called parity is a second-order effect.​

 

[the valiant effort]

Quenneville is 65, it’s time to retire anyway you scummy POS

 

[The Great Weal]

f*** off allowing Q back

LOL there is that effect. But they wouldn't come right out and say it's to protect the idiots from themselves.

f*** off allowing Q back

Unforgivable imo. They knew and did nothing, I am convinced

 

[Miller Time]

Reason why the Florida teams, Vegas and Dallas are powerhouses

i see Fla and Vegas... but Dallas?

Hintz/Robertson/Johnston/heiskanen/harley/lindell/oettinger/benn are all home grown core talent.

and they added Seguin via aggressive trade.

the pieces they've added on the margins to round out their group are far less a factor in their success than excellent drafting and development. Arguably best in the league under Nill's tenure

 

[OnTheRun]

Unforgivable imo. They knew and did nothing, I am convinced

The onus kind of rest on the team(s) that will hire them. If it's the kind of guys you want at the head of your organization, then well...

Man has Carolina been decimated this offseason.

Lost:

Teravainen
Skjei
Pesce
Guentzel

Brought in:

Carrier
Robinson
Walker
Gostisbehere

WOOF

And they only have 10m in Cap to resign Jarvis (should be well north of 7m), Necas and Drury.

Dark days ahead

Couldn’t happen to a better franchise

Their best offensive defenseman is a 40 year old Brent Burns and Gostisbehere, who is a broke-man’s version of Matheson. Absolutely zero defensive ability.

They are gonna be BAD bad.

 

[red devil]

A player that I would be interested on a short term deal is Janmark you would add speed to the bottom of the lineup and he is a great penalty killer. With his playoffs though I think that someone may offer him a long term deal.

This site is getting progressively worse without a doubt.

They have around 14M when you take all the Ahlers off the team. It should be enough to sign Jarvis + Drury for around 10M.

IMO Necas is gone.

Good point, still brutal though.

They lost a ton of talent and are about to lose another Top-6 forward unless they do some cap gymnastics…

Both.
But let's just say I can't even reply without an OOPS we ran into a problem.

Is that human authenticator a new thing that is supposed to speed up the site?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Think the leafs can hit a grand slam tomorrow.

No point paying them if they're not playing next year. Trial is still a year away.

He was so indignant about the whole thing, it's quite gross.
