He’s 75 yrs old and coming off a Montembeault type season

Kypreos did indeed report he was looking for that term, unbelievable as it is. Huge money too. Seems delusional.

That was my point.

dude is cooked as 1G workhorse

Rangers already have an elite goalie, so that takes one irretrievably stupidly team off the market.

Throw offer sheet at Robertson $12.75M / 7yrs w $53M bonus paid in first 3yrs - Dal can’t match net present value.

Trade Dach for $4M cap relief and Diekembe if any takers ..

call it a summer

 

[Habsy]

You’re ready to roll with Newhook as 2C?

 

[Alan C]

doubt it , I think he goes shorter term 6x 7.75

Why would he? Arent you the guy who says take what you can?

No he’s the guy always grabbing his bags.

If they get Robertson then yes until Hage is ready. Need someone to play with Demidov, regardless of position.

Hage will sign this summer.. will not forgo opportunity to play w such high end caliber players (Robertson / Slaf & Demigod) who will only enable him to hit his ELC bonu$ and inflate pts totals for next contract …

That’s the line lol.

He already missed the opportunity to burn a year…so waiting till now cost him big $$$$

Hage has been earning $$ since April vs 2-3GP payout had he signed

He can compensate “burning 1yr” w advertising revenue the way Demigod has…

Why? First Treliving now Chayka

Has Knies asked out? Or Knies analytics is a red flag for Chayka who’s a pure analytics guy?

Or… is Pelley’s analytics guru at MLSE the real GM?

Because as good as Knies is, Chayka might see an opportunity to get an overpayment for a power forward on a LT contract

If Kyoreos is to be believed:

“trying very hard to move Matthew Knies”… sounds of desperation

Hage won’t sign this summer.
