Terrible. He might come back and demand NHL caliber teammates.

Bo and Vanek

Yup.... 8.5 per is looking like a2 to 3 million dollar overpayment right now....
- Pres.cup

He's (Draisaitl) actually close to being on pace for the same point production he had last year. So if he doesn't make 77 points he needs to take a paycut??

Glad to hear that Brock is an all-star. good on him.


- dbot

Yup. BB probably would have gotten the nod over Horvat even if not injured and stayed at previous pace.

Hope a Canuck rookie gets similar appeal next season too. That spells rebuild in right direction.

Pretty much. 77 points is worth 8.5 million
Then the twins at 55 points have to be worth at least 7million because of the vetern leadership that they provide

The McDavid deal was terrible. Now they have to over pay everyone else as that is comparable.

Thats why I like Bo at 5.5.

maybe we can sign and trade the twins to Edm for Drai?

Chia Pet would have to retain 50 percent and throw in a first, we'd throw in a young upcoming rhd in gudbranson

Bo at 5.5 is great value.

It hasn't been. They are trying to stay competitive. These things usually take about 10 years.

That may have some truth to it however Bo is a 60 pt player...Draisaitl an 80 pt player and Mcdavid a 100 pt player. There has to be some form of separation or there is no point to wage structuring...may as well just pay them all the same..lol

People cried about the Crosby deal too but when you are the best player in the game (which McDavid arguably is) it is what it is.

Twins should go to Tampa so they can get their cup...and we'll take Sergachev and futures

I’d rather have Bo + 7M in cap space than McDavid

I don’t make that trade unless EDM retained a couple mil per year

Who is saying pay them all the same. Im saying Bo is better than McDavid if you factor in contracts. Plus who is to say Bo is a 60 point player.

No player in the league is worth that 12.5 million a year deal.

Bo and Boeser resigned or McDavid

Do you think because price is the best goalie he is worth 10.5 until he is 40 years old?

The price of players salaries go up over time as the league revenue increases, you do know that right?

how much will Tavares and karlsson get paid in your fantasy land where everyone gets paid in candy and hugs and should give a discount to the team so the ycan win?

Toews gets 10.5 million, i could live with a three million discount and offer them 7 million each on a one year contract.

What's the same between these two things?

I wouldnt want either player at the price and term they will cost. You just made my point exactly.

You probably think toews and kane are worth their deals?

lol of course not but I think you are missing the point on current market value...it'sike a lot of things in life you want the best you have to pay for it.

100%

I’ll take character guys like Bo, Eriksson and Sutter who all could’ve gotten more from someone else over mercenaries like McJesus and Drai

These are the guys you win with and build a culture around
