Eleven Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 He wants Drasaitl money and the Bruins want to pay him like Eberle. Offer sheet this man If the Sabres can still put out an offer sheet (I don't know if there's a deadline and I don't know if there's cap space), they absolutely should. (But better make sure Jack is locked up first!) What's this Boston player's story? A comparable player or two? I think with the Sabres being so non-competitive for so long, I've really lost track of what other young players in our division are doing, etc. He is comparable to Casey Middlestadt, Bobby Orr, and Mario Lemieux.

pi2000 Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I love Wennberg, he deserves that deal... after 6 years he's an UFA tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I love Wennberg, he deserves that deal... after 6 years he's an UFA tho. Yes. That's why they got him relatively cheap. Getting a UFA contract at 27 might make up for the money he left on the table on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Yes. That's why they got him relatively cheap. Getting a UFA contract at 27 might make up for the money he left on the table on this one. He is getting 2C money, if he breaks out next season with every chance to do so, they have a cheap 1C.

Randall Flagg Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 This is 4 minutes of McDavid highlights that don't result in a goal, so the stuff we don't see all that much on the east coast. Well, there was one goal in there, but think about the fact that this guy had 99 points outside of this video last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Pastrnak has only played three seasons so the Bruins are probably crying that he is a RFA for 4 more seasons and they have a point there. Comparables from his draft year are Ehlers and Drai. Drai got way too much. People around here are saying Ehlers' next contract should be 6+...I think Drai got over 1.5m too much and Ehlers should only get about 5.5m but that's me. I think Pastrnak is the best player from his draft year and if he signs for 8 years, should get about 6.5m - 6.75m a year. Not much he can do besides hold out and the Bruins are a pretty old school organization and wouldn't panic and over pay. I think he signs in the next 10 days.

If PA were here, I'd rely on him to chirp my complete and total admiration for those clips. Un-frickin-real. It calls to mind the remark that one of Scorcese or Coppola said about a young Leonardo DiCaprio: "Please.

LTS Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Convinced Bowman is overrated Every GM is overrated.. because eventually the star power you happen upon by almost pure chance ends up leaving you and then you look like an incompetent boob. I'm not sure there is a GM in the league that doesn't fall into this category at some point. Hell the Red Wings made the playoffs for 25 years or whatever and people call their GM out. I think the decline of every GM is the moment they spend big money on those contracts. It ties their hands and make team building an exercise of how do I still fill out the remaining 16-18 slots with 25% less cap space to work in. I should take that back... the Patriots are proving quite well that you only need to invest in 1 player to really win for a long time. Perhaps in hockey you need 2.. and perhaps the Penguins become a good model for that, but of course their stars are not making the same money as Kane and Toews either. The presumption that the cap keeps going up hasn't held true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
