Trades & Free Agency Thread: 2024-2025 - Trade Deadline Approaches

Mackinnon got 15.27%. That would be 14.1m under a 92.5m cap.
Of course, Mackinnon was a better player than Rantanen when he signed.

Thanks. Capwages has an issue with the Cap percentages, I've noticed that before.

Mikko Rantanen is a worse player than Mitch Marner, just like he was in 2019.

This is so wrong

I believe it's because they update to show current cap hit percentage instead of showing their signing cap hit percentage.

No lol

This is so wrong

Marner is better offensively and defensively in every main game state. Rantanen is better at putting pucks into empty nets and getting drafted to a team that gets a lot of PPs.

Dekes for crying out loud, player discussion eith you is like participating in pole vault where there is no official height and the bar is held by human hands that slyly lower it for friends and raise it for others.

You are missing the fact he is a main contributor in the playoffs and has won it. Better playoff player, a winner. Not a flipper flipping pucks over the boards and a game 7 choke artist.

Hard to argue against his position.
This would be 3rd. year in a row over 100 points.
View attachment 962980


Over his contract he's:
9th. in NHL points
6th. in goals


Next year how much more will Kyle Connor be looking at?
Over his contract he's Top 15 player, Top 4 in even strength goals.

ULF you are not dealing with Dekes correctly. From 2020 on he has been over 100pt pace.

They've both been main contributors in the playoffs, and team accomplishments don't change player quality. But yes, I did miss one. He's also better at getting drafted to a team that's faced worse goaltending and easier situations to produce in the playoffs.

Game #7 playoffs. Who's taking Marner?

 

[Stephen]

Some of you have been really big on bringing Crouse in over the last few years. He's having an absolutely horrendous season.

What a disaster that would have been.

Crouse would have been an interesting power forward option and still could be if you’re buying low, but he’s having a Nick Ritchie style washout this year. Probably makes him more available in the years to come.

Every GM and coach.

Agents are licking their lips at the escrow news today. The AVS can talk about internal team caps until they're blue in the face, but it's not going to matter much

I

Noah Cates is back to playing C and he’s been hot lately. His defensive metrics are still elite and he’s back to a half pt/gp. He’s immediately my first choice for a 3C.

I recall you were the first/earliest one to propose Lilijgren for Cates deal

Was a good call then and looks like could be better now

Wish we find a way to get him
