There are no rules against tagging unfortunately since we hope its in good nature only but I will make an unofficial rule right now. If you tag someone and then delete the tags, I'm gonna hand out infractions. <a href="/users/Penguins_Legend_Sheary" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Penguins_Legend_Sheary</a>

Thread: Can Someone Explain Why Mete is ON Waivers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shanesaw9</b></div><div>"Isn't that good" leaves a lot up to the imagination when talking about a guy on waivers.

Mete is not a player who is directly involved in offense, but you cannot argue with the teams positive goal differential with him on the ice. He has never had a negative goal differential in any of his 4 seasons with MTL (and that is impressive because none of them have been playoff caliber teams). He actually has the best goal differential of any defenseman playing for MTL over those 4 years, +30. His transition skills are elite and that means good things for his teammates. His weaknesses and shortcomings are well known, but they can be overcome with right partner.

Mete and Weber were literally a top pair for MTL the year they missed the playoffs with 96 pts... the best season by MTL in the last 4 years. Seen this posted in the comments of the athletic today, Mete with Weber:
- 136 games, more than 1100 minutes
- Goals For: 50, Goals Against: 40
- High Danger Chances For: 256, Against 195
- More Dzone starts than Ozone

There is a narrative that Mete cannot defend, its just the eye test because it looks bad when he gets outmuscled. A player that couldn't defend would not have those numbers.

Mete needs a new opportunity. If he was in the AHL he could have been developed to run a powerplay and then he wouldn't just be considered an undersized D who has no offense.

The oilers are the best fit in the NHL for him IMO, his $735k cap hit fits perfectly. He played in London with Evan Bouchard and he would fit perfectly with Larsson.</div></div>

Man I dont agree with a lot there. His +/- is really not indicative of his ability.

Either way, im not dying on this hill either. If he goes on and plays amazing, good for him. If not, whatever. Seeing that he's going to Ottawa where he'll be exposed even more than in MTL, Im confident he'll be nothing more than a bottom pairing dman. Which like I said, is what he is on a bad team. On a good team, he's not in the lineup.

Thread: Vancouver Canucks signed Tanner Pearson (3 Years / $3,250,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>I'm curious who his true comparables are that got 3-4 million and if they are from this or last year?

Players have been super squeezed in these two years with the flat cap.

When you say comparisons is they based on his production last year in isolation?

The way I tend to analyze players is looking at three things: there most recent season in isolation (he's been terrible) and his last three years as a whole (where he has 45 goals and 83 points in 182 games or 20 goals and 37 points, so a high end 3rd liner or borderline 2nd liner), then total career and likely age progression (0.23 gpg and 0.46 ppg so not far off the last 3 years, and still in prime)

I'd actually say if he had a good season this year he should be pushing for 3.75-4.5

However he's having a ****ty season so then 3.25 is likely fair AND the flat cap so id say 3ish.

So in other words it's likely an okay to not great but not awful contract. But with everything else we've already discussed. Ew</div></div>

Is it great? No. I agree. But its not bad either. Its basically what other player with similar values got. Im simply talking contract value here. I dont think Van should have signed him though but not because of what his contract cost him.

As for comparables signed recently:
Foligno 3.1
Kassian 3.2
Smith 3.1

Pearson is better than all those players IMO.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs_and_Sens_Fan</b></div><div>1 bad season doesn't and shouldn't undo everything but it should play a factor in contract negotiations.

Just like Taylor Hall won't get as much on his next contract as he would have before this year.

Pearson should have gotten 2.75Mx2 imo.



I agree with everything here except that Pearson is worth his contract. There a decent chance this contract could turn sour but very little chance that this contract starts looking like a bargain.</div></div>

Of course the deal could have been better. 2.75m would have looked nicer. So yeah its higher than i would have liked too but its a far cry from bad. Virtually every single comparable who was true UFA got between 3-4m. So this is right on par IMO.

There is also a number of factors besides logic at play here like Benning trying to save his job by not losing him for nothing and the fact that Pearson is close with captain Horvat, etc. Those are factors Benning is looking at that we're obviously not.
