Thread: Thoughts on Gaudreau and venting

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>the only close to concrete number i've heard is Calgary offering up 8x$10.5M - which, damn, man, you must've hated it there. Winters in Columbus aren't a whole helluva lot better, and you're still a 2ish hour plane ride from the coast, so I guess it's an improvement for his home life? But man, really seems odd that one of Jersey/Isles/Philly wasn't the one signing him.</div></div>

There’s gotta be some more information. Apparently Gaudreau and Gudbranson are close, and CBJ signed Gudbranson to a 4x4 (lol), but that can’t be the sole factor in him choosing them. But at this point, the decision to go to Columbus makes 0 sense

Thread: Thoughts on Gaudreau and venting

I think Flames fans would have been fine with him signing with PHI, NJ or even NYI. Those fit the definition of "close-to home".

But when he signed 8hrs from "home". That's really bothered Flames fans. I think he will be booed when he comes back to Calgary.

Funny how fast things turn. If he signed, 13 would be retired by the Flames and he'd be mentioned with Jarome Iginla as the greatest to ever play for the Flames.

I do get though that Columbus will be playing close to Gaudreau's home on the road several times in the Metro. But fans are upset and aren't rational.

Better off signing Mikheyev. Islanders would be the most powerful team in the league with 3 Ilyas

Thread: could see this

Vancouver said they weren’t talking to the Isles about Miller. Beauvillier was in Montreal for the draft and greeted all the new players. The Isles interest in Miller is completely fabricated and pretending it isn’t on capfriendly won’t change that.

You can’t trade an injured defenseman and a middle six winger for a guy who can theoretically play top 6 minutes, a starting tendy with salary retained and a 2nd round pick!!!

Isles do not need to make that trade, and not giving up those picks to do it.

Thread: Isles

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Amakoue</b></div><div>Kaprizov wants 10mil
Fiala wants 8

Wild still need to put finishing touches to roster in terms of depth, and having money for callups. Also, why would they trade for a player who won't play? 2-3 mil also matters on resigning kaprizov and fiala</div></div>

No way the arbitrator gives Fiala $8M…more like $6M

What the players want is not equal to what they´ll get. Fiala will not get 8 mil per year, Kaprizov will only get 10 mil if he agrees to go long term.

He's Getting too old, He could easily make the teams bottom line or extras but Crosby is still #2 Center and Bergeron is not the #2 RW or LW Option and I think they go younger rather then older with the extra forwards

Unless he pops off at the beginning of the year, I don’t see him making it. Many other players have proven a lot more to make it. He’s a great player and I definitely see him in the 2026 Olympic team but it’s too early for him right now.

I see some Habs bias. Suzuki has not done enough at the NHL level to earn a spot in the olympics.
