No, he's not. I adore this player and D.P. obviously understand people as well as hockey, and that's what makes him one of the the best.

What the hell are you talking about? Sissons has never been involved with any sort of domestic violence issues. I'm assuming your confusing him with Austin Watson. If you're going to say something this stupid, at least get the right player.

Look, I like Sissons, but you just locked up a 30 point guy until he's 33 years old.

It's moves like this that bite teams because they lack flexibility.

Also, best at what? Continuously putting a "good but not great" team on the ice? Congratulations on making it beyond the 2nd round of the playoffs once in 20 years.

I'm afraid I have to disagree. I like Sissons alright too, but you just don't sign a depth player to that long of a term. If he regresses or completely falls of a cliff in a couple of years then you're still stuck with him for half a decade. Colton's had problems with consistency like a lot of players on this team. Jarnkrok has a similar contract, and he's decent, but right now is a guy just kind of there not really offering all that much.

DP is approaching Babcock status as overrated folklore legend...

Every season and every summer he gets hailed for every move he makes as shrewd, but I see nothing but regular season overachievement.

BINGO said it best - congrats on assembling good but not great teams.

Poile did the same thing a few years ago with Jarnkrok...$2M x 6 years. Guy consistently puts up 25-35 points in a bottom 6 role. Steal of a deal.

Cue Tanner telling us that Chayka is doing the same thing in Arizona...except he's not really getting a discount. Schmaltz at $5.85M x 7 - haha. Dvorak at $4.45M x 6 - for a career high of 37 points, 2 more than Jarnkrok. Chychrun at $4.6M x 6 - for a guy who looked better in the pressbox than on the ice.

What's the point? I obviously disagree and politely said "you're ignorant" (without, you know, actually saying it)
