And you think stones complete game is worth much different than kucherov's offensive dominance?

Maybe not equal, but which one is more completely valuable.i think I should rather have another Nuge, than 5 of them. I think this just shows he is out of our range unless he takes a smaller contract.

I'm actually commenting on how Stone got overpaid.

A deal around the 8m mark, even 8.5m would have made far more sense.

Ryan Johansen, a similar player in terms of being a complete two-way player, got 8m for the same length of a contract about 2 years back, yet he was a center and already had a 70 point season under his belt.

Sure, it has been two years and the cap has gone up, but Stone has yet to crack 70, and is a winger.

9.5 for Stone ... Las Vegas overpaid.

And Kucherov >>> Stone... in terms of value.

It ain't even close lol. Kucherov's dominance has statistically put him on the same level as McDavid. Not saying Kucherov is a McDavid, but Kucherov's underlying stats in terms of contribution are similar or even better than that of McDavid's.

See the above post for clarification on my part.

Hopefully, RNH signs at the 7-7.5m mark. I'm totally fine with that. But I don't blame him if he wants to go the F/A route. He has gone through hell during his tenure with this team.
