After looking back not surprised Heinen wasnt signed to a big deal with another team as if we look through history guys who leave Pitts system often dont do as well. There are a few exceptions but Sullivan seems to know how to get the best out of these guys.

Same can probs also be applied to Rodrigues as him not being signed also seems to be demonstrating this as you got to think if it wasnt for the "penguin" factor he would be signed 3mill x 3 years by now or something

Milano is the only real surprise to me as the kids got talent and yet nobody seems to want him rn. Weird

Yeah just Vancouver fans always want more than Carolina is willing to give up for a rental

Hes probs getting traded as relationships seemed to have soured with the coaching staff and this makes it easier to do so. Seattle should make a trade as they could use a RD

Necas for Miller doesn’t help the Canes’ cap problems. Miller 50% retained at 2.6 million though 👀. Would cost you a pretty penny

At this point, fans are being a little outrageous. If we can get a good prospect or player and a first, I’ll be satisfied. No need for top prospect, young roster player, two firsts and your firstborn child

firstborn child underrated af, he’ll be a star soon

He is the second coming of future considerations

K making a free agent game cause bored

Where do we think Kadri signs, how long's the deal, and how much he getting

Gonna say he signs a 1 year 8mill deal with the Ducks

But man just pls sign already man this just getting ridiculous lul

6.125 mill x 5 . Colorado

I thought he would go back but the problem becomes MacKinnon that guys getting paid big time and I dont think they can afford to keep both.

Let me know if I forgot any players on LTIR or messed up with the math

Excellent job. The only thing I notice off the top of my head is that the Ducks and Sabres are supposed to have LTIR relief as well (Kesler and Bishop, respectively).

I fixed it for Bishop (he was already calculated into the Salary but I forgot to mention it)

I believe Kesler's contract is up

Duke gives the Cats 3mil for like half the season at least (relevant for opening night)

One more reason for Kadri and Klingberg to sign already: I'm working on my Top 250 fantasy rankings for 2022-23, it's 98% complete (thank goodness for Excel spreadsheets ) but I can't finalize it until they sign. Also, if another big name player (namely Patrick Kane) is going to get traded, now would be a good time.

Do you do this statistically or subjectively?

Guys, the Habs have acquired an island…

Robidas Island

thought they where supposed to make a slash in fa

Hughes said he would not like 2 weeks before free agency... not sure if there's a better source than that

Joke worthy of an infraction imo

oh, didnt know that, my bad

He said it tons of times

i dont follow the habs and the i remembered him saying he would a long time ago. but i didnt know he updated his idea

they never had the cap to do anything with.
