Benning crushing it per usual

 

[DeadsetAce]

man this draft pool is pretty whack. you got guys going top 10 who have question marks about their ability to play 5 on 5 hockey

 

[jewseejay]

Why is wayne simmonds so under paid? He les the flyers the last THREE years in goals and has been the best PF im the NHL the past 2 consistantly killing the PP and scorin 30 plus goals but these slightly above average guys are getting 5 mill per allll over the place


Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Its kinda like when Theirren used to not dress Subban for no apparent reason, perplexing...

 

[DeadsetAce]

let's see how bad Don Sweeney ***** this up (to his credit, we've done a lot better lately) and how bad our idiot owner butchers the announcement

This isn't the NFL. You can't restructure contracts. When he signed his current contract he had one season over 40 points. He'll get the standard 6/7/8 years for 6+ million when he hits UFA.

Damn, really thought Eaves would come back to Dallas in the offseason. If he can stay healthy that's a really good signing for the Ducks.

Yes you can, hockey players just arnt savy enough to use their leverage. Its in the fabric of the game, jus play and dont complain about anything... now the prime of his playing career stolen for pennies on the dollar, hes made about 50percent of what he should have in the NHL and when he goes to sign the next 4/5/6 yr deal theyll say hes getting old and exiting his prime


Damn shame

Lots of dudes should be sitting until theyre restructured or jus bounce to the KHL for a year to let management no its not a game, its their profession

Most of em are just too happy makin mills playin puck to GaF

Straight from the CBA. And it's got nothing to do with hockey players not being "savy enough". In a sport with a hard cap and guaranteed contracts it will simply never be a possibility to restructure contracts.

He's making exactly what a guy like him should be making on a second deal. Check the comparables. https://www.capfriendly.com/comparables/wayne-simmonds-2247

He'll get more on his next deal when he's 29 and unrestricted JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

Benning crushing it per usual

You guys are being too hard on Benning in this instance.

Pettersson is gonna be a stud IMO. Could very easily be the best player in this draft. Really dynamic forward talent. That's who I wanted for Vegas at 6. Glass/Vilardi being my second choice.

 

[sosly]

Wow Flames building that defense.
Big payment though.
Gio - Brodie - Dougie - Hamm. Not too bad. I think Stone is still there too

I preferred the size of Glass, but you are right. Potentially he could be great, but I also remember him being kind of lifeless in the WJC.

They tried to go the "big Canadian" route with Virtanen and it didnt work out, so maybe this will. 

Cale Makar would have been the best case scenario.

you think the ceiling is that high? i guess it's not THAT high given the overall class, but still. i guess i'll need to keep an eye on him. was just surprised to see him go that early based on what i read from some "analysts".

#HHOF Class of 2017: Teemu Selanne, Paul Kariya, Dave Andreychuk, Mark Recchi, Danielle Goyette, builders Clare Drake and Jeremy Jacobs.

get Jacobs WAAAAAAAY the **** outta here

 

[EddieDoyers]

Teemu and Kariya making the HOF

 

[sosly]

Whoa ***** gonna take back Kariya for a day

*Ducks, but I'll leave the first word

*Ducks, but I'll leave the first word

They've already tried to get Kariya back in the fold on countless occasions. Tried to sign him to play before he retired and have been trying to get him in the front office. He attends games once in a while and does some community work for the team. He still holds a vendetta against the league because he believes they didn't do a good enough job protecting players from head injuries.
