Thread: why chuck why

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ReelBigFan</b></div><div>Sanhiem better not get over 3</div></div>

If you think he's getting less than minimum $4.25M you're going to be very disappointed. Although you might not want to believe it Sanheim is a good defender he had a bad season last year but he's a good puck mover who has good game sense but not physical at all. I'd rather have a good puck mover who knows where to be than a liability who can throw their weight around

Thread: why chuck why

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ALitteral</b></div><div>I would have preferred raanta or holtby for the same amount we are paying Jones. Riemer is a fine option. Pretty much anyone who hasn't been objectively terrible at his job for three straight seasons.

Our G coach was with Jones in LA, so the thought process must be that there's something there worth fixing. This move puts all of the pressure on Hart</div></div>

I would have been happy with Raanta but I think he signed for two years so I understand why with all the money going to be spent between G, Coots, and Farabee next season not wanting to commit beyond this season. Holtby only scares me because he was the second worst goalie in the league behind only Hart. Coming into a season with last years two worst goalies just isn't ideal

.896 though? I get that he's been consistent but its been consistently bad if it was 2014 I would be beyond excited. I would have probably preferred Reimer over Jones

Thread: after Yandle

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ragsandbluesfan</b></div><div>After seeing Sanheim Myers last season how can you run Sanheim Risto?</div></div>

Myers and Risto are similar players I give you that there one biggest difference is that Risto has the strength to be physical along to boards with players that Myers lacked. If the pair doesn't work then I'm sure there will be a switch I also think that keeping Sanheim-Risto with Couturier as their C will give them the support from up front to take the pressure off them a bit. Not that I'm entirely confident in the acquisition of Risto having him not play as a top pair dman may give him a slightly better chance at having better numbers

I view it as his spot to lose basically. He looked good in the few games he played no reason as to why he shouldn't be penciled in there

Thread: Future Cap Squeeze

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mintyfresh</b></div><div>OF COURSE! I welcome that idea, just don't see it happening quite yet. I think he continues to take a step forward though. I will say this though, if they could sign him to a Konecny like long term deal, i'd do that in a heart beat. But something tells me his team is gonna bet on him and do a bridge deal as he is showing promise to be a really good player.</div></div>

If he signed a similar deal to Konecny and they both took steps forward that would be like another 2 Couturier contracts. Although TK didn't have the year I think we all hoped he would I still feel like he played well enough for the contract he has. Wouldn't be shocked to see him look close to 19-20 TK this season

Philly can't pay a goalie $4M nor should they willingly be looking to acquire the other worst starting goalie of the 20-21 season

3LD is probably going to one of the young guys or a cheap veteran no need to have Schmidt there taking up almost $4.5M if they were willing to spend that much for 3LD they probably would have kept Ghost

What's the expected contract for Bertuzzi? I think philly definitely does this deal but I'm just curious

Thread: realistic lineup

Morin won't be in the opening night roster and if he is that's a big concern. He hasn't played enough hockey to be consider for the 6 role to start a season they'll most likely either sign a vet for cheap or have York or Zamula in the role. I'd rather watch York or Zamula struggle to be the 6 then watch Morin struggle to be the 6.

Edit: I don't think York would struggle in the role at all he looked to fit in the few games he played last season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Cannon</b></div><div>Didnt y’all just sign Laughton to a 5 year extension? Isn’t he like the ideal 3c?</div></div>

Honestly he's much better on the wing he can play center but over the past two seasons he was playing the wing a majority of the time. If he was going to play center I think he'd be the ideal 4C

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeastModeUnknown</b></div><div>Yeah I don't think Hart would take that contract he's gonna want a buttload of money. For 4 years you probably looking at least 5 million if not more. My guess 2-3 Million for 2 years and if it gets into the long-term end it gets hefty into the 7-8 Million mark.</div></div>

He has no leverage to ask for that price on a long term deal after being the worst starting goalie in the league last year. I don't even think either side is looking long term probably in the 2 year 2-3 million range you suggested

I'd rather let the 3LD spot go to York or Zamula and sign Morin to league min to be the 7 spend the money saved there on a better back up other than that I could see this being an opening night roster

If Hart play like he did in 19-20 I think it puts them back in the borderline cup contender category even if he's just average I think they're a playoff team he just can't be the worst starting goalie in the league again

Myers was really bad last year he has all the physical tools to be a good defender but doesn't think the game well. I still think he can become a legit top 4 dman but going into last season I was wondering if he had top pair potential

Morin can play as a 7 he's not good but he's fine. I don't think any team is going to want to touch Deangelo there are too many character problems that have been talked about. There is a reason why NYR didn't want him in the room any more after just giving him a contract

No that's totally fair and I see how this could be a problem but a lot of the time I don't see this pair being out against the Matt Barzal type and if they are I'm sure they'll have the defensive support of Sean Couturier to help pitch in. If anything I'm more worried about in zone stuff than I am about on transition and honestly this play looks pretty similar to things we saw happen to Myers and this is a player that's "in position"

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>You’re not gonna want Sanheim-Risto after a few games</div></div>

Can you explain? I get on paper why it might not work but Sanheim being notoriously soft on the puck while going to retrieve it and Risto being very physical could allow to cove up a lot of Sanheim's mistakes against the boards

Thread: Reilly Trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mp2942</b></div><div>You're good with a Sanheim-Ristolainen second pair?</div></div>

I'm higher on Sanheim than most and sure he makes mistakes in his own end but who doesn't he had a bad year but I wouldn't be shocked on a bounce back he's a good player that has had to play in the number 2 dman role and can now actually be the 3 he is. Risto is what he is. In a way with how physical he is I think it could help Sanheim with allowing him to go into corners and let Sanheim then pick up the puck and send it up ice.

Edit: Even if you want to make the argument that Risto-Sanheim won't work it doesn't make sense to send a forward for another dman and who says a Rielly-Risto pair would work?
