Thread: Acquiring Lee at TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JacobSmells</b></div><div>I realize Anders Lee is coming off of a 40 goal season, but this seems like a lot to give up for a guy who imo is overrated with inflated numbers due to playing with Tavares. NYI would definitely accept this offer though, but I don't think Vegas would give up 2 roster players for him</div></div>

If Vegas wants to take another run deep into the playoffs, I think a guy like Lee would definitely help that. I get what you’re saying that he’s played better with a guy like Tavares, but Vegas lost two key wingers in Perron and Neal so I think they need someone to replace at least one of them. Plus their center depth is fine without Haula and Eakin along with Suzuki coming along eventually.

Thread: Resigning Seguin and Looking at the future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vanderm</b></div><div>I think Seguin will get less — he’s not McDavid level. Tavares new deal is a good comparable. Then factor in Benn’s contract and the income tax advantage of Texas earnings.

I wouldn’t be surprised if DAL got him to do $10.5 x 8 years by heavily weighting yearly signing bonuses (especially early years) that makes it worth much more to the player in cash terms.</div></div>

I think the Seguin situation may be similar to the Tavares situation next year but not literally the same thing. Management really screwed up in New York and was probably the main reason he left. Management isn’t as big of a problem in Dallas. I just think that Seguin can get an offer of way less/around 13 mil because that’s what Tavares was getting offered. And Tavares took a hometown discount to help his childhood team at 11 AAV. That’s just how I looked at this. Because I think Seguin can get over 11 potentially.

Thread: Car blockbuster-making sense of the rumors
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PenGoater99</b></div><div>He's overrated and overpaid. My god.</div></div>

You’re basing this on one season. The Hawks wanted a familiar face back in the locker room. They got it. They wanted someone who brought back chemistry with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. They got it. He still had 17 goals in a 35 Point season which it could’ve been worse. He could’ve had like 8. They needed someone to replace Hossa’s two-way style of game who added some strength and size. They got it. You wanna talk about overpaid? HA. Look at Brent Seabrook. There’s a real buyout option. Horrible contract given by Bowman. And by the way Saad is not the type of guy you’d expect to get 60+ points. Usually in more of the 45-55 range. They needed the fit to replace Hossa and needed Panarin out to bring back that type of player and Saad was the one. Saad knows he had an off year and he has the ability to bounce back from it.
