It’s a really weak defensemen free agency class. Teams will overpay for for mediocre talent

That was per Scott Cullen on wgr yesterday

There's also very little cap/budget space. KA has cap, but does he have budget?

All the individual stats in the world for a 4th line lw mean nothing on a team that finished in the bottom 25% of the league in GA, and the PK he has been on for years has completely sucked ass for years.
50% of the 14:00 time he isn't playing against top 6 players, yet the narrative is he plays a shut down role against the teams top lines for 23:00 a night.
Sometimes, ya just gotta get the context right when looking at stats.

Oh My!! Preach on

The goaltending had nothing to do with this?

Im not suggesting hes a shut down juggernaut, nor am I ignoring the context of his individual contribution. Im simply pointing out that he adds quite a bit of defensive value.

Also I mentioned that he did that at even strength, not at every game state.

No please do not feed the animals

Who ever wanted Blackwood, well looks like he is going to FA, him and Gregor weren't Qualified.
Guess Will Borgen was Qualified but Seattle is willing to listen

Sucks it's come down to Troll talk, cause it is something that affects the team.

Caleb Jones didn't get a QO. He was one of Chad's favorites, if he got to UFA.

Wonder if someone tracks these numbers. This feels a lot higher than normal with more players of relevance.

Axel Andersson wasn't Qualified by the Ducks, could be a reclamation project

Who ever it is has term and a decent cap hit.
- Sabretooth9

Not necessarily term

- Buff36

They aren't looking for that.

Yeah, that's why I said what I did earlier. Not many teams with Money this year, gonna be some teams that shouldn't be able to afford some of the talent they might be able to sign for 1yr this year usually.

They aren't looking for that.

Good I was thinking Depth more

Wow Vegas paid thag scrub goalie 4.9 mill lol

I’m in a golf tournament all weekend and won’t have much access to my phone so hopefully that means the Sabres do 5 million things

Sounds like the Islanders are pushing to get Mayfield signed

Expert analysis:

"I’m not convinced Buffalo will make any additions in goal this offseason simply because I’m not sure any feasible upgrades exist"

Fvck off.

See? This is why I b¡tch-slapped my neighbor.

You run your mouth, you get slapped. Pretty simple.

He won’t run his mouth to me again. That slap made him woke.

I come for the trolling

I stay for the trolling

The hockey talk is a nice distraction

Stupid twatter won’t let me look with out an account any more.

Happened to me about a year or so ago, finally got sick of it. At least you can use your google log-in as an account so you don't actually have to make yet another account for a website.

Not $2.5M worth. What's his offensive percentile? 8th?
