Thread: (OTT/FLA) - Tarasenko for 2024 4th (FLA), 2025 3rd (FLA)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NorthernLeafsFan05</b></div><div>This is laughably bad for the Senators, they couldn't even pry a decent prospect out of Florida. I get that the trade protection on Tarasenkos deal allowed him to dictate where he went, but that doesn't change the fact that this trade is horrible. For crying out loud, Anthony Mantha cost the Knights more than this.

This is highway robbery for the Panthers who add another lethal offensive weapon to their already loaded forward group. At only 2.5m, he is going to be extremely valuable. If they want to buy more, they easily could (granted they don't have the money). This was a masterclass of a trade from Zito and a complete blunder by Staios</div></div>

You can lock the thread, this is all that needs to be said.

Thread: Detroit Red Wings signed Michael Rasmussen (4 Years / $3,200,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kaljakori</b></div><div>Money is not terrible but personally I don't like this much term for middle-six guys. Sure, he's a big boy and just entering the prime years but still. I'm also looking at his injury history and seeing a couple of knee issues, can someone with insight on the wings enlighten me if there's potential risk there as well?</div></div>

As a guy who did not care for Ras most of his career, he is starting to find his game and coming into his frame much better. Most big guys like him take longer to find their game and utilize their size correctly it's sometimes hard to forget he's still only 24 being that this is year 5 for him in the show.

I would say there isnt much injury risk, his biggest injury was a broken knee last year off a wicked clapper from the point. But he hasnt shown any signs that it's bothered him this year, and that injury happened rather late into the season last year.

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed William Nylander (8 Years / $11,500,000 AAV)
First of all, Nylander is worth 11 mil. I've been saying this for a long time now. If you don't think so - you're simply wrong

Second, he signed at a similar cap% as comparable wingers at the time like Benn, Stone, and Perry. Don't let the raw number fool you this isnt out of the blue.

Third and most importantly, Trev completely ****ed this negotiation up. If they were scared Nylander might walk - the time to "cave in" was in the summer. As it stands Nylander is at peak value and there is no reason to cave now 30 some odd games after refusing to go above 9mil. They should have waited out the year and let Reinhart get a comparable deal or let Willie cool off. Even if he didn't they could always just pay him this in June no problem. No one in the league can match 92 million dollars!

There was no risk!

What a horrible GM Trev has turned out to be. Worst fears confirmed about him

Fourth, I am very exited to have Willie be a life long leaf. Amazing player who has the perfect mentality for the market. Ideal Leaf and for that reason its still a good deal even with Trev being a panicky idiot.

I expect CF to vote it down. They also voted down both Matthews deals so that should tell you how little you should value that

Of course there are the usual worries about deals like this aging but I don't see any reason to suggest the risk is any more than any other comparable star so whatever. Would have liked us to get this down to 5 or 6 years given the aav, but I'll live with it.

I figure he will drop down to somewhere around a point per game to a 100 point pace for the next few years, and that's fine for what he will cost

Thread: (TOR/CHI) - 1st, 2nd, Anderson, Gogolev for McCabe, Lafferty, 5th, 5th
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kaljakori</b></div><div>I was a bit worried first when the tweet dropped, but with 50% retained on McCabe and both players having term, the players going out being throwaways/reclamation projects at best and a protected pick with late-round draft capital coming back, this actually looks very decent for how wild the market has been.</div></div>

This was a bargain for Toronto. I'm assuming the market is drying up with so many buyers having finished early. Sellers will now be taking what they can get.
With only 9 Western teams still vying for a playoff spot, all but 1 of them will make it in anyway. Might explain why there's less action there. Most of them can afford to wait it out.

Thread: Montreal Canadiens signed Logan Mailloux (3 Years / $902,500 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>A male co-worker of mine had a fling with a female co-worker, he made a sex tape without her knowledge doing the deed, but she learned of it's existence shortly after. Well girls will be girls and she spread negative opinions of their encounter to other female co-workers. So naturally, as a revenge plot, he shared the video captured to co-workers. They both got called into the offices and both got a 3 day unpaid suspension. They both still work at the company and are friendly and civil towards each other.</div></div>

The fact you're posting this as a very normal thing that usually happens is uh...concerning in the most gentle terms. The man is entirely in the fault and should've been terminated; I wouldn't be shocked if there was a law against that but in most companies that's a huge code of conduct violation.

Or you just made up what you said.

Thread: Montreal Canadiens signed Logan Mailloux (3 Years / $902,500 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>Please. Mailloux was 17. Stop acting like he’s a 5 year old who doesn’t comprehend the world around him. If he were a couple months older he’d have gone to jail. And he has still faced essentially no consequences for his actions. He was still drafted in the first round, and still given an NHL contract in spite of his disgusting actions.</div></div>

he had to pay a fine, which was 2% of the amount of the signing bonus he got today.

as you can see, justice has been served. he has learned from his wrongdoings and knows the consequences might be that it'll end up with him signing a piece of paper and instantly making more money than most people see in a year.
