Thread: Do you like the new Canes away jerseys?

I like the template/design of the jersey, just not the wordmark. If they put the hurricane logo or the flag logo on it I think it would look great. But the wordmark looks pretty lame like most do, i.e. Sens, Bolts, Dallas, Colorado etc.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WallStreet83</b></div><div>He couldn't score a single goal playing with Benn and Seguin.</div></div>

He played like 20 minutes all season with Benn and Seguin.

Thread: Cap Errors Megathread

Timo Meier's contract is structured incorrectly, I believe. His minors salary is listed as $6 million each year, instead of it just being the same as his total salary each year (4,4,6,10), effectively making 3 of the 4 years a 'two-way' deal. I can't imagine the contract would actually be structured this way, so I'm assuming it is simply an error as I have seen this before.

It's not though, because you're basing it on a very small sample size, aka like a handful of users on CapFriendly.

Thread: Is Alexis Lafrienere a Generational Talent

Lafreniere is a fantastic talent, but remember he also has a late birthday. He just missed last year's draft by less than a month, similar to Matthews missing by a couple days. So his draft year stats are going to look astronomical in comparison to some of the other draft-eligible players around him. So while he definitely will be an elite talent, I hesitate to call him a generational talent.

Thread: top 10 forwards of salary cap era

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rangersandislesfan</b></div><div>But 128 points? I know it's not all about points but it's not all about defensive play, either.</div></div>

Yes, but it's not like Crosby is drastically worse offensively than Kucherov. The gap between the two's defensive play is much wider than the gap in offensive talent. Also last season, Crosby's top 3 linemates were Guentzel, Rust, and Simon, whereas Kucherov's top 3 were Point, Johnson, and Stamkos. Kucherov played with much better players than Crosby.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rangersandislesfan</b></div><div>Provorov isn't a great offensive d-man but better offensively, while both are good defensively. I don't think Hjalmarsson has been as good in Arizona as he was in Chicago.</div></div>

Hjalmarsson is still one of the premier defensive defensemen in the league, he just gets overlooked now that he plays for an Arizona team that isn't nearly as good as those Chicago teams were + less exposure in a smaller market.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rangersandislesfan</b></div><div>Let me guess, is it because he's a centre and Kucherov is a winger?</div></div>

He literally just explained it. It's because Crosby is a much better defensive and more rounded player than Kucherov. I would take Crosby over Kucherov also.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rangersandislesfan</b></div><div>Tell me how Hjalmarsson is better than Provorov.</div></div>

Better underlying numbers, better defensively. I think his superior defensive play outweighs the offensive edge Provorov has on Hjalmarsson. Plus I'm just not as high on Provorov as most people.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rangersandislesfan</b></div><div>Also, are you saying Hjalmarsson is better than Provorov?</div></div>

No, RAIF. The number I put next to each player is how good I think they are on a scale of 1-10.

Thread: Top 10 Defensemen that Primarily Play on their Off-Side

Because why not

1. Nate Schmidt
2. Niklas Hjalmarsson
3. Ivan Provorov
4. Mikhail Sergachev
5. Erik Gustafsson
6. T.J. Brodie
7. Jordie Benn
8. Alec Martinez
9. Trevor Daley
10. Kris Russell

This was kind of pointless and pretty difficult since it's hard to determine what side they play on vs. whether or not they primarily play there and such. If you have any input or other defensemen that should make this list feel free to blast me. I'm sure there are off-side defensemen out there that are better than Kris Russell and Trevor Daley lmao

And you can't tell me that the balls have been manipulated at all. Did you install the machine? Did you make the balls? They could have just as easily been <em>not</em> tampered with. You have no proof that the lottery is rigged other than "NHL big corporation, Bettman bad, EY corrupt, hurr durr."

RAIF, for the last time just because a handful of people agree on the overrated/underrated status of a player doesn't mean that they are <em>not</em> overrated/underrated. There are millions more hockey fans out there than the 20-30 that comment in the CapFriendly forums.

Thread: Prediction Time: Who wins the lottery for Lafrenier?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>Its done behind closed doors and not televised. You dont see anything happen. Its all a show. The league is an entertainment product, it doesnt want teams to flounder. It wants markets to succeed. So yeah I think the draft could easily be rigged.</div></div>

The lottery is audited by Ernst & Young, one of the Big Four accounting firms in the world. If it was rigged, Edmonton wouldn't have won 4 times and New Jersey wouldn't have won twice. Also, Arizona is basically Bettman's baby, and they have yet to finish higher than 3. Don't you think the league would have rigged it to give them a particular franchise superstar that happened to be from the area?

Thread: Will the pens make the playoffs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rangersandislesfan</b></div><div><strong>How many games was that? 4 for Gudbranson in the playoffs ... Crosby also didn't play great in the playoffs, either, when thinking about the expectations ... should we say Crosby is a 3rd liner because he only got 1 point in the playoffs?</strong> I agree their defence isn't great, but it's not too bad. Johnson is preferably a #7 for me, but if he's a #6 it's fine IMO.</div></div>

The issue with that argument is that Gudbranson has a much longer track record of being bad, unlike Crosby. It's more likely that his short stint of good play in Pittsburgh is an outlier compared to his previous history of not being good.

Thread: Sharks are missing the playoffs

I think the fact that they're in the weak Pacific will allow them to make it. Vegas and Calgary are really the only two teams that seem like a lock for the playoffs. Anaheim, LA, Edmonton are longshots, while Arizona and Vancouver are around 50/50.

The principle point of contact is definitely not with the head. Any head contact is purely incidental and is very minimal. It's a clean hit.
