Thread: How does Francis have a job
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Because Francis drafted the core of the Carolina Hurricanes, who are now one of the best teams in hockey. His stock will come on draft day. He won't get immediate results, but he did enough to make the team marketable (which they are) and sell out games (which they're doing) without risking their future draft stock. They've got assets to move, and Francis knows what he's doing on the draft floor. He did a good job from an owners perspective trying to make it marketable, and he's done a somewhat good job setting it up for the future. The one thing he's probably messed up is signing both goalies long term when they are eating several shades of sh*t</div></div>

Totally disagree here. Read the post before. He still could of taken a better team, used those to help him in the draft. You can’t defend Francis one bit on this

Thread: 2 Moves for depth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yycofred</b></div><div>Gaudreau 5-6/ 8.75 - 9
Tkachuk 6-8/ 8.75 - 9
Mangiapane - 3-5/ 4.5 - 4.75

Those are just my thoughts, obviously you'd love to lock up Mangiapane long term but look at deals like Colton Sissons, Mangiapane is obviously a better player but the Predators thought they were locking up a 30 ish point per year guy and now they've got a 28 year old winger that has put up 15 in his last two seasons with a contract for 4 more years. 3 - 5 years could be really good for both player and team.
Gaudreau and Tkachuk ideally just sign matching 8.5M/year deals long term, obviously doesn't happen and I think Tkachuk get more term and money than Gaudreau, throw the full $9M for max term at Tkachuk, get Gaudreau between 4- 6 years, let him negotiate another contract after this one in Philly if he wants. Will be a very interesting off season, Treliving has been great at re signing his own guys but they've all been RFA's, hopefully he can get a good deal on Gaudreau and long term for Tkachuk to avoid that 1 year 9M qualifying offer!</div></div>


Yah this is very accurate to what ive been reading… i think 5-6 is perfect term for Johnny. have read that mangi wants short term.. which like you said might not be the worst option giving the history of other contracts. Would of preferred to have both chucky and johnny locked up at this point as johnny value continues to go up lol
