Thread: Vancouver Canucks signed Andrei Kuzmenko (2 Years / $5,500,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SevenLeg</b></div><div>Pretty much all trade protection clauses are negotiated to be retroactive, so the 19 teams apply today.</div></div>

there are no retroactive components to any NHL deal- youre talking out your ass. He can be traded to anyone under his current deal - the only one enforceable. Now they could have an agreement/handshake deal- but thats not legally binding.

This is a good deal for the Canucks- buying 2 of his best years agewise, for a guy who should get 30-40 goals /year. Doesnt make signing Horvat any easier- but if theyre going to move out anyone its more likely- Boeser and/or Garland.

Thread: Boston Bruins signed Pavel Zacha (4 Years / $4,750,000 AAV)

42 games, and hes got 5 goals.... that seems like a large overpay, especially for a team with cap issues (something the Bruins havent had until recently.) Hes got potential still...but few teams can afford to pay for that, including the Bruins

Thread: Seravalli said this

I cant see SJ retaining 50 %, why bother at that point. too many years left, and the way hes playing hes worth $7-9m right now. If there was 1or 2 years left maybe. Puljujarvi isnt enough return either, im sure they would want a high pick as well.

Thread: Myers Mantha

If Myers was paid the same as Holl.. I would take Myers- but he isnt worth much more. Canucks would jump at that deal. While they could wait till his off season bonus is paid- and then his real salary is $1mil- that might be tempting to Arizona...but thats about it. That might be a long shot, not to mention for the rest of this season, and his bonus... Myers is going to make 9.5 million.... Im thinking the owners would rather move him now

Thread: Carolina Hurricanes signed Pyotr Kochetkov (4 Years / $2,000,000 AAV)

I cant figure out why this contract is so liked....sure he may be a starter, might be a good one..but hes a 3rd stringer with 7 games experience. How many 3rd stringers are making much more than 1mil?
And i get that their top 2 are injury prone- and 1 is likely to be moved at some point...but this contract is a unique outlier (so far).

Thread: Buffalo Sabres signed Mattias Samuelsson (7 Years / $4,285,714 AAV)

I like Samuelsson, but this contract is insane. If he truly pans out as a 2nd pairing dman with great defense..then they saved a little....but if he stays on the 3rd pairing- its a massive overpay, and inflates what anyone else will demand in similar situations. This is a gamble they didnt need to take, their cap situation shouldve been fine for a few more years- but this is going to throw a wrench in to their future negotiations.

Thread: (VAN/CHI) - Dickinson and 2024 2nd for Stillman

Dickinson was a huge disappointment last year, expected much more physical play from him, and it never materialized... he looked lost many nights.

Stillman may be a fine 3rd pairing dman with a physical edge (needed on the Canucks), but with Schenn, Burroughs and Wolanin all available, Im not sure that Stillman is that much of an upgrade on the 3rd pairing , and definitely NOT worth a 2nd round pick. If it was a 5th pick- okay, but the Canucks need all the prospects and high picks they can get- saving a little over 1mil for the next 2 seasons doesnt seem worth it- especially for a player who could rebound easily.

Thread: Calgary Flames signed MacKenzie Weegar (8 Years / $6,250,000 AAV)

I like Weegar, but not at that value or that long a term.
The question becomes is winning the trade for the first 2-3 years of the deal worth it- for 3 or 4 years of cap hell when he slows down and becomes Vlasic 2.0?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DongLord23</b></div><div>Last 2 years? They'll be lucky if it doesn't hurt year 3 of his contract. Guys that play his style of game don't age well. If he's 32 and still PPG i'd be amazed.</div></div>

Miller skates well, and has hardly missed any time- very durable player. Now if it was Boeser....then you have a point- Boeser doesnt play physical at all- and cant stay healthy. While the comparison for Miller is often Kesler, in many ways Linden would be more accurate.

Thread: Vancouver Canucks signed J.T. Miller (7 Years / $8,000,000 AAV)

Im sure the last 2 years of the deal are going to hurt..but he is a ppg player and a great leader. If the Nucks are ever going to win a cup- its because of guys like him (and not who they traded him for).
8mil in 7 years might be the norm for a decent 2nd liner by then.

The Dobson deal is a top 10 contract value now...going to be fantastic for the next 3 years.

Thread: Chicago Blackhawks signed Cole Guttman (2 Years / $950,000 AAV)

likely only costing them the 70k for 2 seasons...a long shot at best, as long as it doesnt preclude them from signing other prospects,,, its fine.

Thread: Calgary Flames signed Nazem Kadri (7 Years / $7,000,000 AAV)

those last few years are going to hurt....but this means Calgary is all in for the next few seasons, not a Flames or Kadri fan- but this is worth it. bold move.

Thread: Arizona Coyotes signed Lawson Crouse (5 Years / $4,300,000 AAV)

He is going to get a ton of icetime with that roster, and I think this contract will look cheap in a couple of years. Power forwards dont grow on trees- and they usually take longer to develop. I think 20+ goals is a given, and his physical play makes this a big win.

Thread: Boston Bruins signed Pavel Zacha (1 Year / $3,500,000 AAV)

I like the player, still some untapped potential...but thats going to be hard to realize if hes stuck on the 3rd line, and walking him right to UFA status? makes no sense. He isnt worth this contract based on last year.

Thread: Vegas Golden Knights signed Nicolas Roy (5 Years / $3,000,000 AAV)

A little more than I thought he would get- especially with Vegas's cap problems, but love the player. He could get 20 goals if everything goes right.

Thread: Boston Bruins signed Patrice Bergeron (1 Year / $5,000,000 AAV)

I hate the Bruins, but this is an outstanding deal, might bite them next year if he hits all those bonuses- and theyre likely structured so he makes them- its just manipulation to delay the full cost of the contract.
He has always been underpaid compared to other top players, so he deserves every penny he gets- even if its delayed a year.

Thread: Calgary Flames signed Jonathan Huberdeau (8 Years / $10,500,000 AAV)

1 more season before this kicks in...so Im predicting about 4-5 years of pain, where he might be worth half of what he makes- if that for the last 2.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyScotty</b></div><div>Unless they sign a LT extension soon.

Bernier will go on LTIR, freeing up another $4mil this year, with only 2 players RFAS to sign and basically minimum deals.
