I agree with your framework. And maybe I'm being a bit ambitious but if I'm Dubas, I'm looking at the standings, his limited 12 team NTC and looking at their respective prospect pools. I'd go if possible for the lowest playoff team with the best prospects. Get a 1st, and a pretty high end prospect if possible. I 100% AGREE with your valuation.
Agreed which is why you try for a "my crap for your crap" trade. Honestly, I think we keep them but who knows.
I agree with the general point of the article, but why single out Puljujarvi? He's just getting back from major hip surgery, it's been five games, and he's been a net positive.
Well, Smith makes $5mil and Bunting makes $4.5mil and Carolina has plenty of space.
Jarry has his warts. But leads the league in shutouts and is top 10 in the other statistical goalie categories afaik. $5 million is a pittance especially with the cap going up next season and probably a couple after that.
No never ever on Hubie. Why for all that is Holy do we want another 30+ on a 10 mill contract for seven more years?????????????? He has only ever had 4 ppg seasons. For 10 milllllllll????????
Oof, didn't think it was that high- 12. Thought it was 5 or 6.
I think there a couple reasons why it's not a terrible idea:
It doesn't matter if he forgot how to play hockey or not. That contract is worse than Karlsson's. Those contracts can be moved without taking that albatross for seven years. Add seconds to those guys and they are gone. Losing two years of second round picks is worth not having to carry a 30 something for 10.5 into almost his 40s. What here justifies that contract?
I just want to see how the world reacts if they trade everything and run: Sid, Malkin, Letang, Karlsson, Puustinen on the PP and it runs 30% to close the year out.
Who says Karlsson has a bad contract?
No they can't. Not a chance you get rid of them for a 2nd without taking on a worse play with a shitty cap hit .
Probably the 4 consecutive PPG seasons culminating with the 115pt season? Cute how you left that out. Fact is, that's the price for guys today. Jake could easily get that contract in FA.
100%
Anyone who sees it.
So four ppg seasons ending in one outlier is your argument for 10.5 million??? Wow you are more delusional than I imagined. He averages. 82 ppg Rakell is. 65 ppg at half price. so that is worth 5.5 million more for SEVEN seasons at 30years old OMG. I left nothing out. I posted the most recent years. Is this better? How bout the two following seasons? No mention of them? A second will move Rakell to Chi or Anaheim easily maybe not Graves so give a second and a third that absolutely moves it.
Hopefully Phillips and Harkins will follow soon. They can go to WBS cause Puus ain't going back!
I think they need another true dman who can share top 4 minutes with him and Pettersson and then whoever as the 6th defenseman playing 10 minutes or whatever a nite. I think he’s being expected to play the same minutes as Letang and karlsson some nites and just isn’t built for that role. I want more from him still though he’s been disappointing so far. I expected a Mark Eaton “first time around” kinda player.
