Thread: Philadelphia Flyers signed Chris Stewart (1 Year / $753,757 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Icegirl</b></div><div>A caveat to this: Stewie's C with Minnesota was Tyler Graovac in 2016-17 and Matt Cullen in 2017-18, and they also sucked possession-wise. With Stewie no longer stapled to them, he might put up some better numbers.</div></div>

Fair. He also played in England last year and scored 0.57PPG.

Well yeah. They're both really good, especially Raanta.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JonJon</b></div><div>What makes Faulk so bad?</div></div>

He's not bad, but seems to be quite overrated. A decent powerplay option, but at 5v5, he's a second pairing defenseman at best.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brian2016</b></div><div>Was this deal better or worse than the Spergeon contract?</div></div>

This is a terrible deal. Spurgeon's contract is good.

Thread: (CAR/STL) - Faulk & 2020 5th for Edmundson, Bokk & 2021 7th

In a vacuum, the trade is a fair deal. With the Faulk extension taken into account... not so much.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockyluv21</b></div><div>Pietrangelo may not be asking for a "reasonable" deal, you see.</div></div>

Still, isn't overpaying for Pietrangelo (which I think is unlikely, considering he's quite underappreciated) much better than overpaying for Faulk?

Forum: NHL SigningsSep 24 at 2:33

Thread: St. Louis Blues signed Justin Faulk (7 Years / $6,500,000 AAV)

Isn't giving Pietrangelo a reasonable contract (7x8.5 or something) much better than overpaying for Faulk?

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

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

<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.

Cast your vote for him for the next Norris Trophy winner if you want, but you will be the only one and that won't be because he is underrated.</div></div>

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.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>I would argue hard he is not.

And giving him a TOP 10 NHL defenceman caphit is ridiculous.</div></div>

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?

I am a Flyers fan and yes, Spurgeon is MUCH better than Provorov.

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.

I'd much rather overpay for a star than pay minimum salary to a replacement level player.

+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.

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.
