Are people that convinced that ZAR is done developing as a player? Because it doesn't take a lot in this league for $1 million to become a bargain.
Yes there's plenty of depth that is cheaper behind him
That's why it was a dumb signing
If this were last offseason where we're going "who is going to play LW?" this would be a reasonable re-signing
But this off season we've got TOO many winger options on 1 way NHL deals, why add another one to the mix who isn't a difference maker in anyway shape or form?
As it stands currently:
Jake - Crosby - Kahun
Chuck - Malkin - Rust
McCann - Bjugstad - Hornqvist
Tanev - Teddy - Simon
ZAR, AJ
Why is this an issue?
Because we're over the cap with Petts needing re-signed (a player who is going to play a major role this year)
People aren't understanding the context of what this team needs- league min players as the 11th, 12th, 13th and beyond F roles
We added a guy who makes MORE than the min

Yes. Tanev’s was a stupid contract.
ZAR or not we’d essentially be paying this amount for any bottom sixer.
No argument here
Heck I wouldn't be arguing if Tanev came at a reasonable price
This is why I've stated JR tripled down on dumb these past 2 off seasons
How about we get out of the adjustment period known as the off-season before sounding the alarm.
You already said ZAR is not a difference maker. Neither is his salary. Get a grip.
Tanev and JJ are the issues..
Again no argument
But this ZAR thing is like buying a cord of firewood and throwing it onto a raging tire fire
It was a waste of money....
Imagine losing a maturing 24 year old player for nothing -- over $250k. "Is this asset management?"
Same dudes probably wanted Nichushkin on this team for $3 million.
Nice deal. Surprised they got him for 2 years.

If the player elects arbitration I believe the team chooses term, and vice versa.I thought we didn't have a whole lot of say on the term via arbitration?

But this deal was done before the hearing.
I think the term and partial no trade clause for Tanev were absurd but I have no problem with the ZAR signing.I think the individuals that have an issue with this deal are the same people who take issue with JJ and Tanev signings. Because those deals are bad as it pertains to AAV as well as term everything that comes after it will have a heightended level of scrutiny. I choose to take a myopic approach and judge this deal on it's own merit.

Same here. My point is however that IF JJ and Tanev weren't signed to those contracts I think this deal would be universally praised. There's no real downside because the contract in terms of AAV and term aren't overly cumbersome, and could in fact turn out to be a bargain. But again there are a few people who have might have angst about it due to our cap scenario. My apologies to the board if my post seems ''choppy'' as I'm posting in haste, my computer has been freezing up a lot lately. So I'm trying to be more concise, as I'm afraid my post will get deleted or won't post properly.I think the term and partial no trade clause for Tanev were absurd but I have no problem with the ZAR signing.
