Thread: Jets22
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>His agent is a stickler. They filed for arbitration last year, might do it again. Copp has had 1 good season, besides this year he’s never even broken 30 pts. So no, he’s not even getting close to what Ehlers is making. Teams can OS him for 4.4-6.5 for all I care, I’ll take their 1st and 3rd for Copp. Only way Jets manage to keep him is if he wants to stay, (arb last year makes him seem like a bit of a pain to negotiate with) and he’ll take a reasonable amount around 4.25m.

If he had like 5 45+ Pt seasons then I’d consider maybe 5m because of the defensive game he brings, but you don’t pay a guy who’s never scored 20 goals, or had 50 pts once over 4.5 million.</div></div>

The year Ehlers signed @6M he had two season at 0.75 points/game ... I would say at his current production, Ehlers is a bit underpaid by league standards.

Copp has 0.75 per game this year, and half a point per game the previous season. You combine the potential interest of other teams, and a bit of cap inflation since Ehlers signed... I think you are looking at 5-5.5m all day. 6M gets it done before free agency.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>Thats a lot to give ullmark. I would really wanna look at the market if thats what it costs- both term and aav. I think there are fair but tough questions about his durability that complicate this. Plus tokarski cannot be the backup, he could get 40 starts and lose 30, i just dont expect him to make timely saves, we need a real backup, one that can play 40 games if needed.</div></div>

It is high price for him, I agree with your 'questions', but I am not sure who else would be available as a good medium term #1 goalie if they allow him to go to free agency. Overpaying a bit could secure the position before free agency.

There is probably enough room even at that price for Ullmark to add Brossoit, I imagine you could steal him away for a little over 2M... He is certainly unproven as far as playing as much as 40 game, but he seems like one of the better backups around the league these days.

Thread: Drouin-Skinner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>I have no idea what happened in Tampa, but you clearly haven’t been paying any attention to him in Montréal. He’s a really nice guy, and no one has ever had any problem with his attitude. He’s very soft-spoken, and has been a great teammate the entire time. He’s done nothing but be a great pro while having to deal with the endless amount of bullsh*t that the media and quote unquote “fans” pile on him.

On the ice he definitely does struggle a bit with confidence in his shot, and he should shoot the puck more, but no one’s ever called anyone a bad person because they’re not selfish.</div></div>

No one said he's not a 'nice guy', i think people question his work ethic. in tampa he refused to report to their minor league affiliate, basically forcing a trade. As soon as he did I knew Montreal would end up wearing him. Probably the smartest move Bergevin ever made, not from a hockey standpoint, but for his personal career. Bought himself so much public relations credit by bringing in the hometown boy. His contract is not terrible, but he is inconsistent, and expectations are insane.

Skinner has a significantly longer track record, and they both have similar points per game over their career. Change of scenery and expectations would be good for both of them, I think.
