Thread: After expansion
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Whatuplilpup</b></div><div>I originally had a Arviddson/Ellis for Sanheim/Konecny and a 1st/Frost. I personally don't think RyJo is washed(at 28yrs old) and getting a 1c/2c would be more beneficial than possibly delaying any of our RW prospects. PP would be a lot better with Ellis and Johansen too</div></div>

I 100% agree, and a top pairing of Provy and Ellis would be absolutely game changing for the team, finally a partner who can carry those minutes, and can help Provy get back to where he was. It also helps on the PP as you mentioned. I think the number 1 priority is solidifying that top pair, not only is it a need as mentioned, but if it helps Provy get back to where he was, it's like killing 2 birds with one stone. It can't be understated that that should be Fletcher's number one goal this OS, either by FA or a trade.

Thread: Try to change my mind
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sk540</b></div><div>Sanheim and Laughton have not proved to anyone they are going to get big long term deals. Obviously the same cannot be said about Provorov. I would imagine Provorov getting a raise a little higher than what Ghost got, and Konecny with all his potential, albeit without the numbers to get that big raise, I would anticipate something that Mark Stone got when he got his raise, something in the mid 3's. With the inevitability of the cap going up, Jordan Weal and Neuvirth contracts gone, as well as Gudas the year after and another raise in the cap, plus the 2+ million we still have in space for the current year, our cap situation will be tight, but our team will be set.</div></div>

Provy, $7.5 mil. Konency, $4.5-5.5 mil depending on next years performance. Hextall will likely try and lock up Sanheim cheap if he can so 5 x $2.75 seems reasonable. Laughton will get a raise to around $1.25-1.5 likely.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sk540</b></div><div>You're crazy if you think Konecny gets 4.5 mil or more with his stats. You're not gonna pay him based off potential alone and remembers he was a healthy scratch and played with the third line this at multiple points over the last two years. Provy getting 7.5 mil is also not gonna happen, he's gonna get paid as much as Keith and Doughty and Seabrook?? Cmon, he's a third year player, who being very good, this is his first contract. He will get something north of Ghost, I would say 5-6 mil just to take away some of his early UFA years. Sanheim at 2.75 is laughable to when he was benched for the first half of the year and the last couple games of the playoffs. I understand the potential is there, but these numbers are all overpayments. I'd let Laughton walk before I gave him more than 1.5 mil so thats about right.</div></div>

Do you even follow hockey?

Konecny put up 47 points after spending half the year on the 3rd/4th line.
Provy is one of the top D men in the league already so absolutely he will get more if we want him locked in for 8 years. Or you can pay him 5 for 3 years then pay him 10 per after that.
As for Sanheim, do you really think that just because he was sent down earlier in the year that he isn't good? When he was in the lineup for the playoffs he was probably our 4th best D man.
You would let a solid bottom 6 player walk instead of paying him $1.5 per when we have cap room to spare?

I'm sorry but you have no clue what you are talking about!
