Thread: Kane actually helps us if he wins
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>Bill Daly came out in support of the Richards' termination and settlement and said that realistically the player could have gotten nothing. GMs didn't like it because it essentially gave the Kings a free pass out of their cap woes at the time.

An arbiter isn't in the business of awarding an outcome that neither party wants. They listen to both parties asks, and settle somewhere in the middle. Kane wants 100% of the money he is owed, but wants to remain a UFA. San Jose wants to be rid of his contract without any cap ramifications or having to pay anything. Both sides agree the player should be a UFA this summer. The only thing left to argue about is how much money Kane will get from San Jose.</div></div>

reasonable but if the party (Kane) violated clauses in his contract and NHL players conduct policy like he did he might have no choice but to rule in favor of the sharks.
we will see this is just one hypothetical outcome to consider.

Thread: Kane actually helps us if he wins
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>Neither party wants the contract to be reinstated. This is going to end like the Mike Richards' termination. Kane will get 50-70% of his remaining contract value over a term that is favorable to the Sharks' cap situation.</div></div>

the difference is the Richards incident was a one time thing that forced the termination and NHL was against it this time it was due to repeat offenses and the NHL was in favor of the termination. have a strong belief either the contact is fully terminated for cause and Kane is given nothing. but to me if the contract is reinstated (and that is still a possibility) sharks could use that to make some lemonade from the lemon. honestly it's in Kane's best interest that the termination not be overruled because there are a few teams who might give him 7+ for 3-4 years if he hits FA.

Thread: Edmonton Oilers signed Ryan Fanti (2 Years / $925,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Great display of foresight by the scouting staff to select this kid in the . . . wait a minute -- you say he wasn't drafted? Well, then, he can't be any good at all, can he?

Seriously, I think that there's every chance this youngster makes it to the NHL.</div></div>

Fanti has good size, excellent athleticism, played in probably the toughest conference and is a fierce competitor. What a great signing. I wonder if there is a chance to nab Meyers or Livingstone, Fanti really is an awesome add given the diminishing draft picks, but any of the top NCAA FA’s would be brilliant, I know JL’s fave team are the enemy and I think there is a not much competition for him in their pipeline.

It will be interesting to see who else might be signed, Metsa?

Thread: 2022-2023 OILERS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SupremeOverlord14</b></div><div>I agree that Kassian and Barrie need to go, but you've significantly underestimated the return they could get. There's a good selection of teams who would be interested in a talented offensive defensemen like Barrie, and many happy to add gruff and grit with a guy who can also pass pretty well. I could see them each fetching a 3rd, and if you really wanna offload a cheap goalie one year removed from a Vezina vote (granted, this season has been very tough on him, his injury in October may have really changed him), then you could certainly get more than a 5th.</div></div>

RWs on the Arizona roster for 2022-2023 and likely to play (i.e., excluding Bryan Little):

Clayton Keller
Christian Fischer (RFA)
Travis Boyd (probably better at center)
Dylan Guenther (19-year-old rookie)

Kassian seems to me like a no-brainer for the Coyotes.

RDs on the Arizona roster for 2022-2023:

Dysin Mayo
Connor Timmins
Viktor Soderstrom (promoted)
Ty Emberson (promoted)

Looks like Tyson Barrie would be a nice fit there, too.

Thread: Kyle Davidson needs to understand that a rebuild requires trading Kane and Toews
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SupremeOverlord14</b></div><div>Nobody wants Toews. Offloading him would require a massive deal. Nobody wants a 10-goal scorer at $5.25M. Blackhawks are stuck with him, but it will only be for another year.
Also, how is us giving you a third for a second fair? Then again, giving a young guy who has a much brighter future than Toews with a second round pick for a $5.25 bum (not disrespecting Toews' legacy, he's HoF for sure, but he's a bum now) is outrageous.</div></div>

1. Nobody wanted Duncan Keith ... except for Kenny Holland.

Everybody thought offloading him would take a massive deal ... except it didn't.


2. On the fairness of being given a second for a third ... you missed the part where I say "the Oilers make it to the Cup Finals".


3. Giving Caleb Jones, a young guy with a brighter future than Duncan Keith, with a conditional third for a 5.5 million bum, was outrageous.

And it happened anyway.

Thread: yo outta here 22-23
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SupremeOverlord14</b></div><div>Couple of notes:
--Where's Neimelainen? Why get Pysyk instead?
--Getting Kuemper seems unlikely, but it's possible which is what matters. I am concerned by that contract though. 6x$6M deal for a goalie only usually works with the most elite of goalies, and I am not sure he's elite of he's just under, and I don't think he'll be the same in four years.
--I don't mind Carpenter, I can certainly grow to like him, but I don't see it as a necessary addition, whereas Foegle could really grow into something. I've really enjoyed his work ethic this year.</div></div>

i think the precident was set with markstrom that is what it will take to get kuemper.

Foegele is getting a bit old to have a breakthrough season he's been consistently this for his entire career.
