This is your rebuttal to Pasta's one good year compared to Nylander's two? That's what I thought, Roger.
- RickJames77

Nylander's 1st 2 full seasons was 61 points. Pastas's 2nd best year was 30 points

Our GM gets destroyed for giving 6.9 for a blue chip 22 year-old and Charlie's Coyle deal is brilliant.

Because he was playing in the League at 18 and 19 and Nylander wasn't. They're not comparable.

First of all, I've never slammed your GM. Once.

Nor did I call Coyle's deal brilliant.

You understand that it is a hard thing to argue in negotiations, right?

The #'s are what matters.

Islanders mirage of goaltending has ended. they will not make the playoffs

The #'s are what matters.

6 yrs NHL 371 169 185 354
5 yrs NHL 290 79 129 208

Then take them and shove them.

Marner and Draisaitl had better numbers. Marner had 94 points... Pasta could not ask for 8.5 or 10+

Again, not wrong ...but a lil' off target.

you slam Dubas all the time. If I recall correctly, you said it was Dubas' fault for the Mike Komsiarek contract.

- RickJames77

Hey that's what it's about. You pay them so the contrcat looks good in the future. Did not take Nylander long.

Dudas looks like a fantastic GM. His drafting and development is ridiculous.

What about 6.96, that's a good number too..

Also, who cares if Pasta is underpaid..

What does being underpaid have to do with anything? I was told it's all about the numbers and that's all that matters

Numbers

Agreed ....his deal was 8.1% of Cap.

Willies' was 8.75% ....

Not bad.
- The Law

8.1% for 6 years including 4 UFA years

8.75% for 5 years including 1 UFA year

Tumbleweed, he started all of these shenanigans.

Oh, I thought the argument was about who is overpaid/underpaid..

Carry on then.

agreed rj.

there are plenty of precedents of guys getting paid more based on being in the league younger.

not something that probably has to be argued about much.

Marner 103pt pace
Matthews 97pt pace
Connor 80pt pace
Point 77pt pace
Laine 75pt pace
Nylander 74pt pace
Boeser 71pt pace
Aho 69pt pace
Tkachuk 66pt pace


For the people who say Dubas overpaid. Other than Aho for obvious reasons, every non-Leaf signed 2-3 year deals and will be seeking massive raises.
