I remember there being discussion of a cheaper contract coming as 6 million seemed like far too much at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabresparaavida Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Also interesting to note that his points per game is still just about the same as his rookie year in 2018-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s contract looks like it’s going to be an anchor around their neck for sometime. Looks like Reilly Smith will be gone. Likely a couple more, depending on their contracts. Stone has a back issue, but I’m sure he will be back for game 1 of the playoffs. He is worth his contract. Great player. I would agree about Smith. We’ll see what they can do. 2 hours ago, Porous Five Hole said: It’ll suck in four years, but he’s still playing at a 1C level. Better than a point per game. Agree, except for the 1C part. He is a wing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsb Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 By points per game percentage the VGKs are out of a playoff spot in the West. Edmonton beats Tampa and is tied with them with a game in hand and Dallas is a point behind VGKs with 3 games in hand. That draft pick is getting interesting. I’m sure 14-16 is much better than 28 or 29. They are at Columbus then Winnipeg then are home to Florida, the LA Kings then at Minnesota. It isn’t getting better for them soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point the insane cycle of getting rid of any proven NHL player for MOAR DRAFT PICKS (which is what the Avs would almost surely be offering) needs to stop. I agree with this. The uncertainty though is what is the intention with regards to the draft and prospect capital they are accumulating. Right shot d-men, we are told, are in high demand. We have two who are pending UFAs who are apparently sought by teams that have intentions of winning a Stanley Cup. Based on that, I think there is a reasonable argument we should extend Miller and Pysyk rather than trade them at the deadline for more picks. If, though, the intent is to use the acquired draft and prospect capital to go out and get better players (a goalie, a better right-shot D, a veteran middle 6 centre and a top 6 winger who brings things to the table that Olofsson does not), then I am fine with us trading NHL players like Olofsson at this year’s deadline. The concern is that the intent is to just amass prospects and wait for the best to emerge. I don’t think that is the plan though. At some point an organization needs to use the data they have on their own prospects to identify which are the ones they will build around and which are the ones they will move to enhance their lineup.

I don't think a middle 6 center is in the cards. At this point Adams should know what Miller and Pysyk want in regards to salary. If he doesn't find that palatable he should trade them. Pysyk might come back after a trade, you never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
