Take a look who else was on the Rampage that last year in the AHL? Other blues prospect. The year before he was loaned to Providence because the blues had two other guys on their farm teams. Goalies need to play. If he was a skater I would agree. Take a look at his numbers in the AHL. No matter where he played he had a good save % and that got their attention
Man, that's the thing. When we lost game 7 to The Panthers, it dawned on me that I had waited a full 18 years to watch the exact same disappointing result happen... I just haven't made watching hockey a priority ever since even though I still do like chatting on HF for some strange reason. Maybe it's because misery loves company. lol
The worst part is that it was so easy to build a Cup winning team with the Oilers situation back in 2015. We proceeded to f*** it up by hiring the 2nd worst GM in NHL history over Bill Zito. Then we had a team who'd bled a lot of assets and had a horrible cap situation, but could still be easily turned into a Cup Winner in 2019 by letting a few bad contracts expire, making some smart draft picks, budget signings, and impact trades. We f***ed it up again by hiring the worst GM in the NHL over Bill Zito AGAIN. Then in spite of Ken Holland's attempts to sabotage our team with Campbell, Nurse, Kassian type signings, and AA, Kulak, and Henrique type trades, not to mention literally designing a poison pill contract for his own team in Connor Brown. We make a miracle run to Game 7 off McDavid, Draisaitl, and Bouchard heroics. And we somehow AGAIN come up with one of the worst CEO-GM duos in the league in Jackson-Bowman. At least this time we didn't interview and reject Bill Zito?
My guess is that the contract won't be $16/17M. In fact if I had to guess right now I'd say $14.5M is more likely than over $15M.I know it's mcdavid and all but hour do you justify giving mcdavid 16/17 million after signing drai for 14 and he had the season he is having AFTER signing the deal????
And I'm sure there is gonna be some outrageous contacts given outc this summer that will make people wonder who okays these deals
I think there was an article on The Athletic that interviewed the agent about the offer sheet. Don’t remember the details but around January Broberg’s agent asked for 1.8 and Holland wanted to wait until after the season. After the playoffs Broberg’s agent wanted to wait and they ended up having 4 teams interested in doing an offer sheet but the Blues were the first ones that got the their 2nd back to make the offer.
One of those teams was Calgary, because their owner has a small pee pee.
We didn’t forget. Holland didn’t want to sign him.
I figured the same. Mcdavid is pretty humble and I didn't think he would think he is 2 plus million better then drai. And I'm pretty sure they both had a gentlemans agreement on signing and moving forward together
I hope they do this with someone, in order to get Kane into some games. I was just watching some old Leon highlights, and obviously Kane was scoring all over them. I'd love to see that guy back at his best for us. If he can get into some games, and we can rest one of the other old dogs who's played all year, even better.
It's not like he'd have any chance of playing anyways. This team loves to stunt the progression of their young players.
