Yeah and they didn't win the cup either
re: the defense IMO it actually could help with the weakened center depth in terms of scoring at least as a better defense could mean less time defending more time attacking and boosting offensive chances.

Over the last four years (since the lockout) Jagr has 66 points in 81 games (67 per 82) in March/April.
He has 161 points in 239 games prior to that (55 points per 82).
So it's actually entirely wrong that he has slowed down late in the year. His late season production has been significantly better. He's been a slow starter. But narratives - can't be the case he's old so he must wear down!

100%. Hayes + Miller + DD/Nieves/traffic cone are insanely better than their 2-3-4.
Nashville did have the best top 4 D in the league though. Ours is now top 5. Should be fun.

/facepalm don't know why I bother
but yea we got some REAL high quality GM's in the league between teams giving girardi two year deals, oshie 8 year deals for absurd money, the islanders deciding their entire 4th line needs expensive long term deals, the panthers paying a team to draft their 30 goal scorer, the leafs deciding to give an older inferior player a 3 year deal for over 6M a year etc..
absolutely IMPERATIVE to appeal to their abilities i've always believed former professional athletes with minimal schooling and many without college degrees would be the best type of guy to run operations for a multimillion dollar business

I think this may be oversimplifying it.
Could be Jagr wants 2 years, could be he wants 4+ million dollars.
Jags is in uncharted territory for the modern day NHL. Recchi and Selanne lasted to 42-43, which he is now well beyond. Chelios really wasn't an NHL player any more by age 46.
Jagr is the third oldest player ever in the NHL. I suspect he'd like to pass Chelios. If not, he could easily play past 50 in the Czech league.
Yeah pretty much
tbh I would think teams are probably worried about making him an "important" part of the team (rely on him for scoring) and then have this be the year that he falls off a cliff or something.
Everyone is trying to get younger and faster and rightly or wrongly that seems to have Jagr on the outside looking in.
e: ^^^^ yeah that too, without knowing what Jagr is asking for it's hard to say why he hasn't been signed yet.

got perma'd
It's like a bad addiction. Someone has to educate these fools. I can't tell you how many times a day I type out an entire post, and then delete it
That's my hesitation as well. But I think there's going to be a noticeable improvement compared to last year, even with AV in the mix.

Look it up? Have to get back to work. Don't know why it would matter if his TOI changes though

We are according to what I just heard trying pretty hard to make a deal before the Staal buyout Window Closes. Nobody wants Staals contract even with retention. Surprised? I think they bite the bullet and buyout Staal likely trading Holden for a Center (with an add) and perhaps signing Gelinas and/or Chiasson as well.

Fraudland is saying we are going to sign Chiasson?
And no. I didn't actually visit his website. I saw it on the trade rumors section
Wouldn't be against that signing.

Why not at $1.025.000 or less ? No problem with that at all. We need some reclamation signings with no risks attached anyways. That would not be a bad one

Yeah. I just went to hockeybuzz and saw that. Should have checked first but I really didn't want to give him the page view.
Still. I wouldn't be against it.

If all that happens, I'd make a shrine to Gorton on the steps of MSG and worship there daily.
As for the deal before the buyout window closes...what is it? A trade deal? A signing deal? I imagine trade...

Yeah, I have a higher opinion of Eklund than most (note: that does not say I have a high opinion of Eklund), but the wording of that one just screams throwing stuff against the wall.

Bozak for Holden. Buyout Staal.

Do it. Adjust ymthe Bottom 6 and 5-7 D as you want. Regardless, that's a Cup contender.
