He actually already signed with the Islanders for 7x10 but Lou just isn’t announcing it yet.

Goalies should have to sit in the box if they commit and penalty and the backup should then come in

Nah because then when he comes out that’s too many men and the net will be empty for a solid 5 seconds lol

Brock Nelson requested a trade because of it and Lou is working on accommodating his request

It’s okay, he'll just make Nelson the 1C after Barzal gets traded along with Dobson for Tkachuk smile

in all seriousness signing Kadri would lead to trade requests by 1 or both Barzal/Nelson

Don’t even get me started - absolute joke of hiring.
Fitzgerald and now Quinn.

It’s revolting. And disappointing meanwhile someone’s gonna take Warsofsky sooner rather than later and same with Spencer.

Memeing and saying hes waiting for Toronto to trade Nylander so he can sign there and be like

IM BACK ****ES wink

But realistically I feel hes waiting for Colorado to move Girard or EJ. As idk I feel he should be signed by now

Just sign a 1 year 8mill deal in Anaheim or something so that the other teams can move on and start signing/trading again

Maybe, idk I feel there must be something going on as it just seems odd he hasnt signed yet

Its either he wants to go to a specific team or wants to much money or term

Either way hes slowed the trade and signing market and I want this over with so we can see more guys get signed lul

he's made it clear that he wants to go to a competitor but right now none of them have the cap free. it seems like every team wants to move contracts without taking back salary so everyone ends up sitting on their hands unable to do anything.

If that happens I’d be over the moon. I think both will strongly outperform anything that starts with an 8 over the lifetime of the contract.


Jack Hughes signed 8X8 and out performed it while still on his ELC. Poor guy.

he really should fire his agent. no reason why he should have signed for less than $9m. best contract in the league imo.

Clearly you haven’t seen the wonder contract of Marc Edouard Vlasic

Are we talking about Jack Hughes? Wouldn’t say he has the best contract in the league, not even close. He had a good 40 games and somehow got 8x8. Even Quinn got less than that and he was way better when he signed his contract. Obviously with the cap going up, it could end up as a steal but they better hope he continues to be as good as he was for 40 games this season

Nearly rivals the steal of a contract that is Oliver Ekman-Larsson

Exactly. Hot take here, Jack Hughes is high on the list of overrated players. He’s not bad at all but he’s not like a top 5 centre or anything, nor is there any guarantee that he will ever be.

I don’t believe this will be a take that will age well

I don’t think anyone is saying Jack Hughes is a top 5 centre. I personally don’t even think he ever will be, although I think he’ll probably be top 10 (McDavid, Matthews, Bedard, Draisaitl, MacKinnon, Crosby, Point, Aho, etc. will keep him out of the top 5 both now and in the future, he might pass some of those, but probably not 5). But he has already surpassed the expectations of his contract imo (elite production AND underlying numbers), and will likely outperform it for its entire duration. He’ll be a great 1C for a long time. This 8mil is the new 6.3mil that MacKinnon signed. Obviously I think MacKinnon is better than I expect Hughes to ever be, but it’ll be looked at similarly a few years down the line.
