Thread: Similar Ryan O’Reilly trades to 7 different teams.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres1108</b></div><div>Yeah, as a BUF fan I understand why some of us overvalue him because he's so good at draws and defensively but he is relatively slow especially for a top C making almost 8 mil a year. With the way the game is going (younger + faster) his contract will look bad when he is 30+ y.o. and even slower. I believe he will be dealt this offseason and likely everyone in BUF will be dissapointed with the return.</div></div>

For starters, its 7.5 which is as close to 7 as it is 8. as the cap keeps going up his cap hit will be pretty normal.

hes not a burner but hes not slow. he puts up 60 points playing tough minutes, a lot of defensive zone starts and not much around him. i'm open to moving him, but im not exactly dying to get rid of hiim

Thread: Best at Each Position
Devan Dubnyk is the 3rd best goalie in the league? He's had two full seasons of being a starter ... the results of both being saved by hot starts. The months of FEB/MAR/APR in 2017 - 2.78 / .907 &amp; 2016 - 2.61 / .904. Not sure how 2 years of being a starter and having great first half's with borderline backup / AHL second half's makes you the third best goalie in the league. Holtby has been much better than Dubnyk for longer (and I'm very much not a fan of WAS). Lundqvist had ONE bad season (though he outplayed Dubnyk in FEB/MAR/APR with 2.76 / .912 and outplayed Carey Price in the playoffs) but has been a top 3 goalie in the league since the Dinosaurs. Quick has been hurt but has two Cups to his name. Crawford as well. Rinne is a strong candidate. Too many to name over Dubnyk.

Thread: Ottawa Senators signed Jean-Gabriel Pageau (3 Years / $3,100,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>icehawk2006</b></div><div>This seems really over priced for a 33 point scorer. Tierney of the SJS scored 22 and is essentially making league min at $735K.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tadhockey</b></div><div>It seems like they're paying more for the legend of Pageau or his potential rather than his current ability level. It's not absolutely horrendous, but it isn't good by any stretch.</div></div>

Good thing signings are all about points, and have nothing to do with shutting down top lines, winning defensive draws, being the guy you have confidence throwing out there with 2 minutes left, ahead by a goal, 3 consecutive years of a PDO above 100, or advanced analytics.

edit : most deals are based off of potential and not current ability
