Gahhhh. This is a good question. I think Leino and Bogo are in a tier of the own. But I am sure I blocked out some of the tank years

Congrats to Tage who I just realized today had 47 goals in 78 games…and not one was an empty netter. Blew my mind a bit. Olofsson got all his easy ones

I’m telling you…it’s the lack of empty net goals. He pots 3 of those and he’s a 50 goal scorer. He got none. Damn the lack of freebies.

Whoever voted him 5th and stole his unanimous win should get their voting rights stripped, that’s so wrong lmao

Sitting and watching the PLD contract chatter, then looking at Thompson's deal... then back at the number being discussed as PLD's next contract by all the talking heads... then back to Thompson's deal and trying not to get a goofy lopsided grin on my face.
Agreed. PLD is good when he wants to be and he was a beast in the playoffs three seasons ago but he's getting treated like he's another Tkachuk and he is NOT.
I'd love to see the Kings trade a bunch for him and sign him to a big 7 year deal and two years from now he's trying to get himself traded to Montreal.

I mean, is crazy that Tage has a 7.1 million cap hi, PLD has an 8.5 and Timi Meier is at 8.8.
Sucks that the Sabres are over paying skinner by about 2 million to offset the savings.
This may be the one of the best signings in NHL history (in terms of production/market value) if he keeps up a 95 point pace in future seasons.
Given how Skinner's 5-on-5 scoring rates out, his non-Krueger seasons are quality for his cap hit. It's when he starts to age out that things get dicey. Hope that holds off another year.

If he can be effective for 2 more years then the team can survive the last two years. A buyout after that is manageable, and may not be necessary if the cap goes up enough.

The number of ELC contracts they’ll be adding over the next several years should get us through the next three years of Skinner’s deal without an issue. It’s the 26-27 season that it might be something to work around. Tuch’s ridiculous value deal runs out and he will be 30…a leader and key piece in the middle of the window. it will test their desire to give term and dollars through a players 30s because they’re going to want to keep him.
They have 20 million coming off the books next year on guys they probably don’t want to keep and can be replaced by ELC guys or cheaper bottom six contracts (Okposo, Girgensons, E Johnson, Olofsson, Comrie, Lyubushkin and Jost is the list of pending UFAs). I think every one of them can be replaced by a younger and/or cheaper option and people wouldn’t complain. One of the reasons to move on from Joker, on top of his play and lack of fit, is that he’s an RFA with arbitration rights. They shouldn’t sign him long term and he could be replaced by a middling UFA on a short term deal. His value in trade is now. Gets (at least) another 2.5 off next year too. Bryson you don’t qualify if you can’t move him which is another 1.85. We’re at around 24 million off the books in guys that can/should go.
That number takes care of the Power raise, Dahlin raise and a Mittelstadt and Krebs raise without even thinking about the cap going up. Savoie and Kulich will be here by then making little.
The next year Quinn and Peterka get new deals but you have complete control over it. If they earn long term big deals…great. If they get bridged…great. You have a dozen forwards who can replace them three years later if they need to. Levi needs a deal too…but you have even more control over that one as he can’t even be offer sheeted. Also…the seventh highest paid goalie in the league right now makes 6…so he’s not going to be getting Dahlin/Power money anyway. Benson’s ELC will be in the league then too. Rosen and Ostlund? Is there room?
Then it’s 26-27. As long as both Savoie and Kulich don’t become full time NHLers this season…they won’t both have new contracts kicking in that year. If one does make the league then they’ll be getting a raise. If neither does you get through the Skinner deal pretty easily I think. But you might end up trying to break in three rookie skill forwards every season if you don’t spread this out some.

Yep. Playing defense is that next level.

How did they not include his C-Bus bombs? I think one of those was his hardest of the year....like 102 or so.

I just need him to stay healthy - don’t care nearly as much about reaching new levels.
It would make the others ones look less impressive in comparison
