WildCard Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Wait Justin Faulk is available? Yes please. Also I get the feeling that Sakic doesn't understand he has to actually pay players. Friedman later says he highly doubts Faulk is. Signed long term and at a great price. With Staal and Ward likely gone, Faulk kinda falls into the face of that franchise. With how small a market it is and difficulty selling tickets when they're good, Friedman believes they can't lose him Edited May 16, 2016 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Carolina moves into Sakic territory if they move Faulk. Put me into the like the player, dislike what we will need to sign him camp for Backes. Edited May 16, 2016 by dudacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Carolina moves into Sakic territory if they move Faulk. Put me into the like the player, dislike what we will need to sign him camp for Backes. If Carolina moves Faulk then we know Tulsky doesn't have much pull in the organization.

LGR4GM Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 What else is interesting in that article is the scouting analytics model they discuss, it's similar to things being done here.

beerme1 Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Sabres hfboards seems to want to sign Backes. Anyone else here strongly against that idea? Yes as many have already pointed out. Also, reason why I haven't frequented hfboards in a long, long time. Too many kids posting from their parents basement... Backes is in a very unique situation. Somewhere in a playoff thread I think, I said if STL wins the cup they have to re sign him. If they don't, they won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Backes has already turned down $5.5M for 3, wanting more and a longer deal. He's a very good player - unselfish as hell with maximum effort every night but at 32 there's no way he's worth what some franchise is going to give him. While his grit and toughness would certainly help this organization, it just doesn't seem smart to be paying a 35/36 year old guy that kinda dough when there will be guys needing their first big deal right about the same time he's hitting the wall.

ubkev Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Um, what? That just means that if he bolts for the KHL that Riga gets him and not Moscow, right? Edited May 30, 2016 by ubkev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Um, what? That just means that if he bolts for the KHL that Riga gets him and not Moscow, right? Yeah, but Riga is in his home country and Moscow is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubkev Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Yeah, but Riga is in his home country and Moscow is not. This is true. So, are we worried about this? I mean, Zemgus wasn't good last year, but he wasn't so bad that I've lost all hope and want him banished back to Latvia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Yeah, but Riga is in his home country and Moscow is not. This is true. So, are we worried about this? I mean, Zemgus wasn't good last year, but he wasn't so bad that I've lost all hope and want him banished back to Latvia. Not yet. When we hear Ted Nolans has been named Riga's HC, then we hope TM trades his rights to anybody ASAP because he ain't coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That to me indicates that they decided to keep more of their private life private. Which, if true, would be commendable (and smart). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too familiar with instagram. So all is well with Zem and Ms. Sullivan, who hopefully does not want to live in Latvia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
