Sutter.

Ah but Eller final 2 years he makes 4.25 and 4.75. Sutter getting 4.4 in an extension is on par with Eller pay.

Sutter and Eller are very similar players IMO.

Eller cap hit is 3.5... Sutter would be 4.4, difference of 900K, I'll let you do the math and find out how many %% more Sutter would make

Standard inflation.

 

[MXD]

So a smaller, less talented and worse defensively version of Eller is about to be paid much more than he is to play the same role. Anyone still think Eller is overpaid?

While Lars Eller gets way too much appreciation here (and way to much hate in other places)... He's a MUCH, MUCH better player than Sutter.

Also, as for Sutter. Is it me, or if he was named, say, Prevost or Ferraro or Lindstrom, nobody would ever remotely think of him as a good defensive player?

Sutter is also a former 8th overall, when players are drafted high they get like a decade of good will.

Imagine if PK Subban had had exactly the same career he's had but he had been drafted 3rd or 4th overall, he would be considered a god.

Ha ha! Very good point!

And moreso if he was named Karl Potvin or Pierre Bourque or Pernell Robinson.

Then why does my PK rookie card have him being born on Mount Olympus?

Sutter wasn't drafted 8th overall. He was picked 11th overall. Eller went 13th. McDonagh was picked between the two that year.

Canada playing Russia in a few minutes on TSN. Juulsen not dressed for tonight.

 

[Fozz]

Game is on TSN 2 for those who wonder

 

[Mathletic]

Liked Marner, Ho-Sang, Quenneville and Carrier in that first. I don't think I heard Strome's name in that period.

 

[Fozz]

Marner is electric. Looks like he added another gear since the playoffs. Not that he needed it.

 

[Whitesnake]

When losing is not always THAT bad......see Marner.

 

[Whitesnake]

Yeah....it's obviously way too soon.....but I have no idea why Arizona picked Strome ahead of Marner....Can't wait to see how Strome would develop 'cause frankly...not only he would have been behind Marner for me, but behind Hanifin and Provorov. And Probably behind Rantanen as well. Debatable if I would have put him behind Werenski too...

 

[Mathletic]

Not saying he's not making the team but Sanheim hasn't looked good in that game outside of 1 occasion perhaps. Little better for Strome but will have to show a lot more.

That's what going by needs will do for you.

I like Marner more than Strome too but let's pump the brakes and see how they do in the NHL first before calling this a screw-up by the Coyotes...

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Yeah that's what I was going to say. The draft was a little over than a month ago, way too early to question a team's pick

 

[Alex514]

Don't forget folks, another game tonight 7:30pm est.

Hockey in August is freakin' awesome!!!!

There's also a U17 game going on + 2 more coming up + 1 U18 game (last before the cuts for the Hlinka tournament) going on this afternoon. Fast hockey doing a better job at streaming the games than hockey Canada btw.

So much this, I can actually watch this one and that alone makes my day, excited to see the Juulsenator.

I think Sutter is a good defensive player with a pretty decent shot. I don't see how he is so inferior to eller.

Sutter isn't going to run guys through the boards, but he has an effective stick, and he has the knack of being on the right side of the puck.

He will get the tough assignments against the top centres , and I suspect that he will fare just fine.

[Pompeius Magnus]

That's a funky looking jersey

What the hell is that..
