Thread: Gibsons Value

Gibson has been mediocre for many years now and has not been the better ANA goalie in a while. No GM that wants to keep his job will view him as anything more than a liability.

Depends if you're one of the delusional fools that want to ignore gibsons half decade of being awful or not.

Zegras has more trade value then Necas so I don't know why they're including the better pick

Swayman is playing like he wants to win. The rest of the Bruins are playing like they want to play Toronto :)

Don’t believe this is true, but they are playing ugly right now

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logicalicesports</b></div><div>You think he has been playing poorly? I honestly thought he just seemed like he wasn't getting bounces or breaks. When he has been on the ice I thought he looked pretty good. Granted he is passing more than he should be and isn't shooting like he can, but he is still adjusting</div></div>

I think the puck finds its way onto his stick and he keeps finding ways to lose it. Kid is gonna be a force in a year or two, but his talent is so raw. Just needs to refine his game. This playoff run with the bears will be amazing for him. I’m excited to see how his offseason training affects his play next fall.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>if you actually new anything about the NHL you'd know what a beer league it was in 1963.
Bobby Orr was making 50k a year by the end of the 60s. Players not as good as him far less. The average salary was around 10k. for an average citizen.
That would be like McDavid earning 250k
Lets not pretend it wasn't a beer league. It got organized to make money.
Your post would have more credibility if it had any actual point to make.</div></div>

Actually, that would be like McDavid making 500K USD or 700K Canadian...

Because the league wasn't making as much money from their fans in 1963 as they do now....

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>they have a draft because the 32 teams need organization for how talent comes into the league....not for the fans.
Even when the fan base hasn't been there, and the league was damn near a beer league, they still had a draft.
So no everything isn't done for the fans. But they sure got you in marketing to get you to think that.
Fact is they careless about the fans and more about TV deals and advertisement money than they ever will the fans. It's why they bend over backwards to appease those crowds in ways they will never for the fan base.
Let me tell you a little something I learned from growing up in Cleveland watching the browns move out of town..... F the over attachment to a team. They don't give a $#!t about the fans. You just haven't figured it out yet. Money is way more important than the fans. They aren't in this business for fans, they are in it to get paid.
So don't blame the kid for doing what he thinks is in HIS best interest. Believe me, every time an NHL team leaves a city, they don't give a crap about the fan base. Go ask AZ fans.</div></div>

1. The NHL has existed since 1917, while the NHL Draft has only existed since 1963.
2. Your point would have so much more credibility if you didn’t have 1400 posts in just 2 months

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>1. he didn't quit, he opted to play against you

2. I'm not saying other fan bases wouldn't. But at some point it's just a game man. He's trying to make his best real life choices. You can't blame him for that. Don't be so bitter about a game. They all make money on it, you don't. You don't really have skin in the game.</div></div>

Yeah I guess you're right man, it's just a game. I mean, why are we talking about any of this like it matters at all? Why do you have 1400 posts on a NHL contract website? Why do we even have an NHL draft in the first place? We should just let these teenagers decide where they want to become millionaires playing a children's game that we unabashedly throws hundreds if not thousands of dollars towards year in and year out. But just quit being bitter because I have no skin in the game lol right because fans don't mean anything in sports...

Thread: Just makes too much sense

First trade is awful for Montreal. Based on trade comp, Zegras is worth 9 OA max. Harris for a second might happen, and the ship has sailed for a first for Savard. What made him especially valuable was the extra year of term at a good cap hit

Thread: duchene

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NARC311</b></div><div>I really like the idea of Duchene in DC but only on a shorter term. Especially if it’s that expensive.

I think if it’s 5 years it comes in closer to 5x5

3 year deal he could maaaaybe touch 7M</div></div>

I just looked at Kadri's contract as a comparable. But since Duchene is getting old buyout money ontop of whatever he signs for, a $5 million AAV sounds about right.

NSH isn't gifting OTT Saros for a late 1st and nothing else.

I agree that Chychrun shouldn't be part of the return though. NSH doesn't need another LD.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>All_Knowing</b></div><div>While I agree it seems like too much, he won't get less because Protas is getting 3.3m - he won't get paid less than him.

A lot of Caps fans really really like McM - I've never been too high on him...he is definitely a solid 3c though and with the cap raise, 5x3.5m for a younger, more offensively skilled Lars Eller, I'd take it</div></div>

I'm wrong, his numbers are a bit better then I thought they were, this would be a fine contract if he continues this production in 3rd line minutes.

Bear I will give the benefit of the doubt to until he gets a full offseason with the club (but yea haven't liked his play here)</div></div>

I think both of them have been at times and certainly could be next year fine 3rd pairing defenseman. Still doesn't solve the problem that they have a #2 (Carlson), two 4s (Sandin, Fehervary), two 5s (Jensen, TVR) and two 6s (AA, Bear).

Would love to bring in a Skjei/Pesce/Hanifin and get another real top pair guy they've been missing since (correctly) moving on from Orlov

Thread: Pajama Boy

Not gonna lie, this is not all that bad. HOWEVER, JT should me moved to 4th line center and the caps should ask for draft picks, a prospect, or Liljegren instead of Kampf. If TOR bombs in the playoffs and JT underperforms, this is a low-key savvy move.

Thread: Pajama Boy

I don't hate it but I think that money is so much better spent at D. AA-Bear as the 3rd pair next year would be disastrous and I don't think Sandin is the answer at 2d
