You don’t get now trading works. Everyone knows he’s not signing an extension with CBJ. That inherently drives his value way down. They’re not trading him because they want to but because they have to and the deals they receive for him will reflect that.
You obviously didn’t get the sarcasm/joke from one of DW’s most famous one liners of all time.
No one KNOWS he’s not resigning in CBJ. Everyone thought Trouba wasn’t resigning in WIN. Guess what happened. Everyone thought Stamkos and Doughty were going to Toronto. Everyone thought Patches and EK would have been moved by now. Just because there’s reports doesn’t mean anything. We could be entirely wrong Panarin wanted to go on vacation for a month and didn’t want to think about his contract at that time.
He said it himself, he prefers big markets and would like to go back to the Hawks. If he couldn't be with the Hawks hed like a team like NYR or LA. Trying to find the quotes now
Then let them is my take. We’ve seen wingers roll through here and play alongside elite centers for many years. The fact that giving any more than that in this move precludes SJ from acquiring any other center, D, or any other position of need outside the UFA market (next years is miserably bad) for the next two seasons while not turning it into a true contender makes it poor asset management to me. There is literally no ammunition to play with if you gave up the proposed package above.
Chmelevski was actually born in Huntington Beach, CA just as an FYI. So he is an American just has a super Russian name.
I'm talking about Russian Russians. Guys who grew up playing in Russia.
Sounds good, let's get him to convince Panarin to come to the sharks and sign long term.
Its possible. But if they can move Spezza they can keep Seguin. That'd be a hell of a trade
There's no way Ottawa would do that without an Extension and Seguin likely doesn't want to play there.
