idk man, imo he's the most noticeable player on the ice when he's in the zone... Capable of doing it all himself as we've seen and makes some unbelievable plays. Not to mention he kills penalties and bumps around here and there..

it's just disrespect to think he needs to take a better deal or isnt in the other 2's ball park.

6 year under 11isnt a bad contract for him but i dont think we are in a good position with 40m in 4 contracts.

Nylander should have been a sign and trade, guess we will keep him for this run but we will need to tradehim to getsome cap space for D soon

This
You guys will be scoring 3-7 goals a game and giving up 3-7 goals a game lol
3rd & 4th lines would likely struggle too

Nice overpay, no cup for loafs in near future

Minne resigns Jared Spurgeon 7 yrs 7.5m AAV

there was also a rumour that he was trying a shorter stick and i think part way through the season he said fuck that and swapped back
and imo it was believable because it was mostly his puck possession that was suffering he would be skating with it and just randomly lose it off his stick or something he would try to poke check and miss

and ghost idk man his game didnt look even remotely close to what it did before idk if that was hakstol trying to change the way he played or what
but like on the pp what made him so deadly was he would skate into an open area get the pass and crank a one timer from the slot or something but that wasnt there last season at all the offense minded plays were just gone
ghost pretty much stood on the blue line passing back and forth and they wonder why our pp was so fuckin terrible ... that + voracek on the blueline was so like smfh voracek was not the right guy and his defense was so bad the shorties we would give up omg

i cant wait for this season having 3 experienced coaches who know wtf they are doing cuz i really think hakstols inexperience was driving this team into the ground

personally i think the better option would have been 2 d man let ghost "free roam" and have the 1 d man play D if there was a counter attack
because its like if ghost tried anything and got caught deep or turned it over and they countered we had voracek back and his defense is lacking that ddint work out ever lol
maybe thats why he just stood on the blue line and didnt move around much because of voracek

McAvoy 3 years for cheap 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nice deal. Him and bergy switch deals when it's up in 3 years.

With the deals to proporov , werenski and extension to morrisey the price was set. I would have been happier with a 6/7 year deal at 6.5-7 rather than a bridge deal that’ll see him command 8+ in his next negotiation.
Definitely good value for the immediate time frame tho.

Did not not know about much of what you mentioned. Good insight. It is tough when an offensive minded d-men has had success playing a certain way and is forced to change.

He was probably afraid to make mistakes instead of thinking about driving the play. A coach should push a player to perform to his strengths, not force them into a strategy that is not beneficial to them.

On the powerplay the leash should be longer. A predictable powerplay is frustrating to watch and easy for other teams to counter. You need player(s) who are dynamic enough to switch it up to throw the other team off. That kind of behavior should be encouraged on the PP

I will be pissed if Green punishes Hughes for taking risks on the powerplay. Our PP has been so frustrating to watch for years and I am excited that a young, talented player is going to have a chance to be the new quarterback.
