McCabe's deal is amazing. He should have got at least $2 mill a year more.

I’m glad Isles found their cash for Romanov instead of Dobson.

It’s now obvious that Dobson and Roy didn’t see eye to eye on system play. That’s why he wanted out

Praise Allah that Roy didnt become the Habs GM.

That would leave the Panthers with ~$5 mill in space with 11 F, 6D and 1 G signed...

 

[zeke]

yeah but they can ditch ERod easy.

Welcome to Florida, Marchand

Florida got a significantly better deal on a pending UFA top-pair defenseman than we got on our pending RFA sophomore winger coming off a whopping career high of 58 points.

6.1 for Ekblad? Fucking steal, can't compete with these no state tax/warm weather teams for contracts

Amazing. That's what a winning culture can do. Players will take less to stay in the right situation. He's leaving a ton of money on the table.

Not according to nerds.

 

[zeke]

never been an ekblad fan tbh.

but he did seem to make a big impact when he came back in these playoffs.

That's a factor, but it's got a lot to do with the overall culture they've built there.

Pittsburgh did the same for years. All their big guys too big haircuts to stay there.

Wonder if we still extend our goalies this offseason, both are eligible on July 1, right?

There is nothing on this entire planet I put less stock in than hockey nerd stats.

But yeah, of course the 22 year-old RFA has better long-term upside than the 29 year-old UFA. That’s not really the point—it’s that the UFA (who also plays one of the most premium of premium positions—top pair RHD) should in theory have significantly higher leverage and earning power than the 22 year old RFA winger.

But not if the two teams in question are Florida and Toronto, I guess. Must be nice.
