Flames are clearly going to fill their blue line with big stay at home defenders with cement boots. Their rookie goalie is going to get shelled next year.
Couldn't even get a 2024 1st....
& over 30% retention.
Don't think Jersey was ever giving up a top 10 pick. Gamble on healthy line-up and goaltending upgrade to make it a future 1st likely in the teens.Couldn't even get a 2024 1st....
Only the Flames would try to steal the limelight during the cup finals. The little brother syndrome is strong in that city
I wonder if McDavid might even come in lower than that. The most recent comparables are Mackinnon at $12.6 and Matthews at $13.25 but for 4 years (presumably the number would be cheaper if he added another 4 years in his 30s). McDavid is obviously better than either of those players, but I could also see him wanting to take less to win. If we sign him to an 8-year deal it would be for his 29-37 year old years. Would $13.5ish be that crazy, with the idea that his value dips around age 35?I read something on facebook about 40 million for Bouchard, Draisaitl and Mcdavid which is malarkey but not far off........
I imagine it will be something like..
Mcdavid 15 million per
Draisaitl 12.5 million per
Bouchard 8.5 to 9.5 million per.
The Sharks doing the Rangers a favor lol.

People gripe about the Oilers making trades and signings without consulting analytics. Aren’t the Canucks under Rutherford / Allvin praised for their use of analytics? Guess not this time. What a shame

Sure and he started in SJ, I get it, still doing the Rangers a favor. Probably would have been better to "trade" for him and get an asset as part of it.The kind of move that fans hate. And Grier will take a lot of heat for it.
But I like it. He's a fan favorite, locker room leader type forward that can probably step into a bigger role in SJ. A guy you give a letter to.
And when done if his contract tolls, they can easily retain and get a decent asset back for the exact type of playoff player that teams fall over themselves to acquire at the deadline.
If they waited for the buyout, odds are Goodrow wasn't signing back in San Jose. He was going to a contender.
CP is going on about this actually. There was a poster that was saying at least this will stop some of the Oiler chatter in the media
Bunch of weirdos
Campbell and a second! /dreamWith the Sharks adding Goodrow, Dellandrea, Smith and Celebrini up front already they’re getting crowded, I really wonder if we take a look at bringing Kostin back in on the cheap.
Traded a first for Hronek. Had to double down on it.
To be fair, finding RD is brutal but will be interesting to see how this contract ages. Guy was brutal against Edmonton in the playoffs, so I don’t mind it.
Grier has to be the worst GM in the league. Just makes bad decision time and time again.
Grier can get Goodrow after the buyout. Or get a pick/prospect for taking himI don't really understand, why is everyone bagging Grier for the Goodrow claim?

Because he’s overpaid for 3 years and they probably could have got him + at least a pick if they waited until he cleared.I don't really understand, why is everyone bagging Grier for the Goodrow claim?
Yeah but if he's bought out, and can sign anywhere he wants for cheap, why would he go to SJ? They clearly wanted a good vet mentor. Similar to what Chicago is doingBecause he’s overpaid for 3 years and they probably could have got him + at least a pick if they waited until he cleared.
or they could have signed him for cheaper after a he’s bought out.
