McDavid rumored to be signing a 8 year extension with a $13.25M AAV.

i'd hold out for the max if i were him, currently $15M
(Edmonton tax + Canadian taxes tax + Chiapet is a donk tax, etc)


i guess if he signed for like $14.5M/year and then the cap dropped to like $70M, his salary would be lowered to the max of $14M right? don't imagine they'd let you make more than the max

Yakupov, alleged high skill winger, had 3 goals in 40 games.

That seems bad, fancystats or no.

Yakupov is the exact type of player that the Wings should target.

McDavid signing for anything under 14/year is a great deal for Edmonton.

Would not be surprised if Kenny was exploring that option as well.

i would be careful



@domluszczyszyn


very much possible he's done being an elite player

he's probably still worth ~$6M/year, but with all old players, i'd try to get some of that as performance bonuses


of course it'd be fun if he played at a bargain for a contender like the Pens or Preds

don't think that trade would do much for the Avs really

Hamonic is fine, but he's older than Duchene, and wouldn't move the needle for such a bad team

if the plan would be to flip him to the Flames for what the Islanders did, then woop woop you're looking at being literally the WOAT for the next 3 years at least


they likely want NHL-ready players who are younger than Duchene, and probably should

Scandella and Pominville and a 4th to Buffalo for Ennis, Foligno, and a 3rd.

Seems like a terrible trade for the Wild.

Wild should have just let Vegas take Scandella if they were just going to trade him for scrubs.

Bruins bought out Hayes. Not soo suprising, but I thought they would give him another chacne to recover from shooting 2.7%

Freeing up cap space by getting rid of pominville seemed like the objective

ya i guess they needed they needed the space to re-sign Granlund & Niederreiter after they both basically had career years, but somewhat of a steep price to pay, especially considering Ennis' contract


pretty great trade for the Sabres, Scandella is decent, and Pominville is actually still a good 2nd line winger, while Ennis & Foligno are kinda bad, and it only cost them like $5M in cap space

Joey reportedly talking to CBJ about Ryan Murray, because of course he is

that's kind of what i meant above, but not really because Ryan Murray sucks at hockey

Quote:
The Blue Jackets have reportedly offered defenseman Ryan Murray as part of a package to get forward Matt Duchene out of Colorado.

Per Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch, the Jackets would also include another roster player, prospect, or draft pick.
this is gonna be bad, real bad

someone please take the keys away from him
