The leafs and first round exits

The Coyotes and low attendance

The flames and trading away future hall of famers for a half eaten bag of popcorn

Chytil getting 7 mill this offseason?

I don't think it'll be that much. Maybe 5-6.5 mil

my guess if NYR is smart is they move out trocheck and sign chytil at the same deal if they think he keeps up this pace
and they give laf the same deal as kakko

He's due for a big raise no doubt, but I can't see the Rangers paying $6M+ AAV for a few good months after 6 very underwhelming seasons. He's well under 0.5p/pg in his career.

trocheck has a full NMC

Yeah. Laf and Kaapo are getting bridge deals.

we do choke. sucks but its true

chytil has produced at a top 6 rate 2 out of the past 3 seasons

send him to PIT or something nearby so that he has incentive to go home or smth

figure out a way to try getting trocheck out cuz he's the 3C at this point

on a long term deal I think it would take 7 , short term maybe 6 mill x 3

Which future HOF'ers did Calgary trade away?

NYR would have to include a 1st rd pick to get rid of that contract, its a complicated situation

i think eventually some team would take him, hes still on a 56 pt pace which is worth the contract money (definitely not the term though, but gms are stupid so maybe they could do something about that)

0.5 p/pg is bad.

No. 5 Tops, he's get a "prove you can do it again deal" if I had to geuss. His QO is only 2.6M

Chytil doesn't control his TOI. He finished 3rd behind Panarin and buchnevich in points per 60 during the 20-21 season.

He has arbitration rights, he isn't taking 2.6 mill

Brett Hull

Doug Gilmour

Martin St. Louis (technically not traded but I still include it, should’ve reworded to “giving up on”)

Joe Nieuwendyk

Could name more but these are the more notable examples

did they get Iginla back in the Nieuwendyk trade

Yes.

Is Gilmour really a HOF and did they really give up on Nieuwendyk ( plus they got Iginla for Nieuwendyk anyways, yes Iginla was not drafted by the Flames )?

Career high 23 points in his career before this season. He produces at top 6 rate but somehow Bo Horvat doesn't?

Remember earlier in the season Dallas fans complaining about Hakanpää.
Reallt dont know how much more can you expect from a stay-at-home physical Dman (close to 150 hits) with an 1.5M/year contract.
I'm thinking just about every team would have him for playoffs at least with that prizetag.
