Thread: Petry lost the Red Wings the season
Thanks for the play by play chief.

I do think you might consider the fact that one player isn’t the entire cause for the Wings being 7 games under 500 since beginning of Feb.

The third goal he didn't do **** for was Skjei shooting the puck wide, blowing by Petry, and then collecting his own rebound and putting it in.

Keep going about how he's low on the list of problems lol.</div></div>

Thread: CAR whats his cost
The only thing I disagree with here is that the 4.82m cap is team friendly and worth being patient for. The other points are valid. I do have some concerns with his personality being that of a consistent point producer or goal scorer.

There is a real possibility that cap hit prevents the Canes from spending in other areas while they wait. You can actually make the argument that the next offseason is the peak of the pain of that contract.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Because he's been around for 6 full seasons, subconsciously one thinks of Kotkaniemi as mid-career, but he turns only 24 in the summer. Tage Thompson's breakout year with the Sabres occurred when he turned 24; Adrian Kempe, 25. I think that Carolina will take the long (patient) view with him. Even if he never makes it into the top 6, his team-friendly contract makes him completely worth his cap hit.</div></div>

Thread: CAR whats his cost
KK is not a 50-70 point guy…I was with you until that statement. He’s a polarizing player and it’s okay for all of us to have different views on him. However, he does not have the on ice personality to be a consistent point producer. We would be happy if he was a 40-50 point middle six player.

I hope he works out, but right now it’s hard to see.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>Like another poster has mentioned with TNT and Kempe, Canes will just wait and be patient with KK. Worst case scenario he ends up being the Staal replacement, whereas best case the Canes have their long term 2C. Both are good options for the Canes. If KK can find offensive consistency throughout the middle 40 games of the season, he will be just fine and will be able to put up 50-70 point seasons.

The only way that KK is available is if they are packaging him for a massive C upgrade, much like how he was rumored to be in the package for Petterson.</div></div>
