You really haven't based your opinions on any arguments, so you just laughed me and "my fancy stats" off. Okay.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>He's not anywhere close to the level of anyone around him in terms of AAV.</div></div>

He's better than OEL, Ekblad, Trouba, Carlson, Byfuglien, probably Subban and Weber, too.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>He's ideally a top 3 defensemen on a perfect team.</div></div>

What's a perfect team? A team with the best six defensemen in the league?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>Doesn't help that this contract starts around the time most defenders start toregress.</div></div>
I sort of agree with this, there's definitely a chance that the AAV will be a bit high in the last two years or so, but then again, the cap will be higher.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>Well he is not Hedman, Carlson or Trouba (When he will get to his prime) good. But he got the same money.

Sure, he's not Hedman, but he is certainly not worse than Carlson and he is much better than Trouba. He is regarded as a top ~10 defenseman in the analytics community FWIW.

I'm not saying Spurgeon is a top 3 defenseman, but this contract is fair for what he brings and the fact that so many people think it is a 'ridiculous' contract just speaks to how underrated he is.

It really is not ridiculous. Spurgeon is an incredible defensive defenseman while being offensively productive and driving play. How would you argue that he is not underrated?

Thread: Minnesota Wild signed Jared Spurgeon (7 Years / $7,575,000 AAV)

The term is not ideal, but the cap hit is perfectly fine. Spurgeon is arguably the most underrated defenseman in the league.

Thread: Arizona Coyotes signed Clayton Keller (8 Years / $7,150,000 AAV)

Keller had a difficult sophomore season, but I'm fairly confident that he's going to be a stud. The contract is a slight overpay at worst and a big bargain at best.

+5.6% Corsi Rel last season on a terrible team. He had an insanely low shooting percentage at 1.4%. This guy is not much worse than he was two seasons ago.

Thread: Montreal Canadiens signed Jordan Weal (2 Years / $1,400,000 AAV)

Honestly, I though Weal was a very solid player for Philly his only downside was that he just couldn't put the puck in the net. Good signing for the Habs.

Thread: Pulling the Wild from 2012

I liked Hexy's patient approach, but if we could do this I'd do it in a heartbeat. Those contracts are probably going to be bad in their last two years and we might get in some cap trouble, but I don't give a damn. With Giroux, Panarin, Karlsson, Couturier and Hart, there's definitely a solid chance for a cup and I'd be willing to risk it.

However, that Canadiens trade is a no-no. I'd rather keep Ghost and not sign Armia.

Thread: Huberdeau for Gaudreau

I don't think so. Huberdeau is a great player, but Gaudreau is a superstar. You just don't trade those, especially if they're doing as well as Gaudreau has this season.

Thread: The Purge

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DONTGIVEAPUCK13</b></div><div>What does raffl sign for? I just went based on stats.

In the end I figured both guys would be PTO signings</div></div>

Nah, they're really different actually. I doubt Lehtera stays in the NHL after this season, he's been really bad the two years I saw him play for Philly.

Raffl on the other hand has a history of being a very good play-driver able to chip in some points and a guy who can be inserted in the middle-6 if needed. He's ideally a fourth liner, though. It's true that he's struggling with putting up points this season. I'm guessing his contract is going to look something like 2 x 1,500,000$.

Thread: The Purge

Two things as a Flyers fan:

1. No way Raffl signs for that money.

2. You REALLY don't want Jori Lehtera on your team.

Thread: Goodbye Ghost

No way I'm doing that trade as a Philly fan. Strome and Friedman are both prospects who could have NHL future. Ghost is a guy who got Norris votes last year and is on a terrific contract, he's just having a down season. Gudas is probably our best defenseman this year. I wouldn't deal those guys for Kapanen, a late-round 1st, a 24-year old rookie scoring 0.5 PPG and a cap dump.

Also, no way we are getting a 3rd for Weise.
