Around the League 2019-2026 Edition

If you’re the team that’s been offer-sheeted, you may as well wait the maximum allowable time even if you intend to match, because it screws over the team who extended the offer sheet a bit.

Leaves them and the cap space stuck in limbo and possibly missing out on other moves until the decision is made.

Good point.
 
Fucking McDavid. If he hadn't signed that extension and joined us this year, it would have been epic.

A battle with Florida and both Tkachuks, Marchand, Barkov, Bennett, and Reinhart where we could roll out McDavid, Matty, Tavares, and Nylander, Knies, McKenna, Cowan, with Bob going against his old team, would be maybe the greatest entertainment the sport has ever seen. Although likely again way too early in the postseason, like the second round, but that would be the de facto cup final.

And make them virtually impossible to beat. They are an outright superpower.

Their goalie is their only potential kryptonite, but teams trying to get shots on goals are going to look like the 2026 postseason Habs.

Not sure I’d go that far. Kane is still a good, albeit one-dimensional offensive threat, and I’d love to see us add him instead.

But he’s not a superstar that’d irretrievably tip the balance of power towards Florida. Not amymore. He’d also be another oldster in a Panthers forward group that’s already well on the old and creaky side of things.

He'd be a third liner on Florida and an absolute PP threat. If he signs there cheaply they’d be getting yet another above average bottom six player for depth protection against injury. It’s definitely a case of the rich getting richer.

Remember, this is absolutely a lifestyle destination that young millionaires want and more importantly, their wives want.

Tip the balance of power? I feel it's already way past tipping towards them and this would just add more weight to it.
