Jesus, didn’t think Tuch would be the last man standing.

Neither did I, but the market is certainly helping cap his contract numbers. 

Also Kaprisov is starting to look ugly for at least 2/3 years.

Eichel numbers will help keep Tuch down

At least for 1 night(yesterday)ESPN got something right…3 man pregame/intermission desk.  TNT tonight…5 man desk.

Yeah, just drop the left side of that panel off into the Potomac and they're good.

I'm not surprised by all these guys re-signing before the season starts, but they're all silly to not push for more cash. In the NFL, whichever QB is up next gets the best contract. No one cares that Mahomes (or Allen, because it's a Sabres board) is making less. Wait, make the GMs sweat, and get yourself some money. The cap is rising and the support players will still get paid. Tuch should absolutely do this to Adams.

One of these guys is going to stick it out to UFA next July (Kempe?) and make near-Draisaitl money because they're the only one still standing.

Also the Bruins being good this year is highly questionable, not sure we want to emulate them right now

 

They looked solid tonight. Playing a very very tight checking disciplined system that will give teams fits. Very reminiscent of how Germany over achieved at the Worlds under Sturm. Not sure if they can sustain it, but Swayman looks to be back so do not underestimate them either. I suspect a team that will win games they hold even or lead in early so you will want to score early and get a lead on them to make their system collapse.
