If you add context to that though it really isn’t as bad as you’re making it out to be, does he make too much, sure, he should be around 9.5 million. That said, he was 18th in scoring for defensemen, if you look at the forwards 16th to 20th in scoring there’s a bunch of guys in the same boat.

Ovechkin, Tavares and Giroux were in that group.

I also thought Toews contract was too much. I think Tavares is too much . Good for the first few years and will handcuff you as you go deeper in the contracts.

I was very glad Canucks did not go 8 years with Brock this year . I really like the shorter less expensive contracts. If he is a 10 mil dollar man in 4 years I guess I will answer oops , but I am pretty sure it won't be.

I love Doughty’s comments, he’s colourful, the league needs that.

As for his contract. Why? The contract is large, no question, but he’s 29 FFS, he’s one of the best dmen in the league and he probably has five more productive years.

Last year he had 45 points, his fifth most productive season of his eleven, 60-59-51-46-45, and everyone is talk8ng like he was awful last year?

Just my opinion

Your avatar makes me either laugh out loud or throw up in my mouth. It's funny when both happen at the same time.

One more good draft would really help. I really would like to see decent draft placement in each round.

No more trading draft picks no matter how well this season goes.

lol respectfully it's always 'one more draft' is all we need with a high pick. Time to move on. We have a core to build around from the last 4-5 drafts so let's do it. People need to come to grips that we won't be picking top 10 for a bit. So lets fill needs and build properly.

Is Leivo in the top six a temporary solution until Ferland gets his game going?

Why do you see Lievo as a top 6 winger?

I like Toffoli I can't see us signing him and Granlund though. Toffoli isn't a big reach he may want to play with Bo and Pearson
- VANTEL


Yup they probably saving UFA money for D... maybe Barrie. Given playing style Podkolzin more likely Bo's future winger. Hogz might start with Gaudette as like minded players.

- NuckUp


Neither are top 6 wingers on this team. Leivo is top 6 in Utica & Ferland (as is) is a 3rd liner. This team needs Goldobin with Pettersson, Baer with Bo or Gaud, and Loui & Leivo the (frank) outta here.

I’m beginning to think you’re Goldobin’s agent. Dude isn’t even top 6 in Utica right now.

And what’s the hate with Leivo? Good on the boards, smart enough player, heavy shot. Not a top 6 per say, but third liner who can fill in the second line with injuries.
