50 goals and 100 points seems elite to me. Also have you heard of future Norris winner Moritz Seider.

Hayes deal shows why Marner, and anyone else coming off entry level deal or who is a FA, is right to play hardball. There is ALWAYS some GM who just can't help but overpay. Every. Single. Time. lolowners and GM's being so gutless and then trying to fix their mistakes in collective bargaining (and still ****ing it up).

Best part is that if salary arbitration were available for these guys coming off entry level contracts, they would end up getting WAY less money than they have. Oh, hey who insisted on NOT allowing arbitration in that spot in the last CBA? The owners of course. If these guys didn't have TV revenue getting poured down their throat would any of them make money?

New rules for next season-
Also, they discussed eliminating offsides all together

Quote:

Commissioner about to announce rule changes for next season...

Even if team getting a man advantage ices the puck, it will have faceoff in the offensive zone.

Team that knocks off the net accidentally/on purpose will not be allowed a line change. Offensive team will be able to pick circle for faceoff

If goalie knocks off the net on breakaway, automatic goal

NHL has made a rule change which allows coaches to pick the side a faceoff will take place on to start a power play and after an icing.

Puck shot on goal from outside the red line, if goalie freezes the puck — no line change

If a player loses helmet, player will have to go back to bench or out helmet back on properly. Only exception: immediate play on the puck.

Minor penalty for not doing it. Chin strap does not need to be done up

Players who attempt to deliberately knock off an opponent’s helmet in light of this rule can also receive a minor penalty.

Expanded coaches challenge: a third category - in addition to goalie interference and offside - are missed stoppages of play in a zone that leads to a goal. Consequence of being wrong in a challenge is an automatic minor penalty for all three categories now.

A second, unsuccessful challenge by a coach in one game will lead to a double minor penalty.

What does a missed stoppage include? Only black and white calls, not discretionary (missed penalty) calls. It’s for puck in netting, hand pass, high-sticked pucks, etc.

A referee will have the ability to review his own call using video technology with regards to major penalties - but without consultation from Situation Room in Toronto. It can be reduced to a minor or upped to a major. But once the whistle is blown, it is a penalty.

For high-sticking, ref who called it can make sure it was not own player or wrong player. Again, official on-ice will have final call.

Reason puck over glass not included is 1) differing number of cameras from broadcast to broadcast makes chances of calling it too inconsistent, and 2) they don’t want to use video review to call penalties.

Bettman stresses the NHL does not want challenges in games, hence the penalties for an incorrect challenge. He says it shouldn’t be for “I hope it’s goaltender interference” or “maybe it looks like it’s close.” They are supposed to be for “crystal clear, unmistakable errors.”

GMs had some discussion today about eliminating offsides altogether, according to Gary Bettman.

Bettman says NHL is waiting for sign off from NHLPA for next season’s salary cap number, which they are hoping comes on Saturday.

Helmet rule is obviously garbage. No offsides would have put the nail in the coffin of the NHL, lol.

Yes. No reviews. Faster breakouts. Guys flying down wing don't have to wait for puck to cross. More goals. Should happen in lolsoccer too

Staying onside is a legit skill, seems like just trying to do mickey mouse stuff for the sake of the casual viewer. You would hate it.

To be honest I don't know if it would be good, but I'm glad to see they are thinking about it. I would love it see it tried out in lower leagues and then if it's good the NHL can adopt it.

Lolno. Timing a run or a pass is a huge skill and there's no reason to make that skill useless in a pro environment.

Yeah I think NHL offsides has a lot of similar skills to soccer offsides. Timing a pass and watching your feet while the puck goes right on your stick is a huge skill. Making stupid rules for more goals for the Leafs sounds awful.

In practice I hope centers just pick the side they want. Lol at refs constantly talking to head coach after every ****ing icing and penalty, neither party wants that.
