Do you guys think they should have brought back Myers at that price tag?

I know ownership and Shero have stated they want to get Hall done but I wonder if they aren't comfortable giving Hall a high AAV (11+) or term (7-8 years) until they see how he looks next year.

Rendon is nuts but I'm just so impressed with Juan Soto. He has a .925 OPS at 20 years old , with some speed. His knowledge of the strike zone is freakish for someone his age

Fess up, people. Where are the bozos who called ownership cheap? Probably the same ones who cried about the YS chant

Ok, I don't mean to laugh at your collective pain as Mets fans, but holy hell this thread is comedic gold. The ****** Mets, man.

Kadri might be involved here.

That's only if you're going to the top tier of RFA signings, where four 1sts is the compensation

Laine will command a much higher AAV, thus taking us out of the running because we don't have our second

Does Winnipeg match at 5 year, 6.2 million dollar offer sheet for Kyle Connor? Compensation is a first and a third

Yeah, don't love Simmonds at this point in his career, but I think it's reasonable to expect 17-20 goals, one of the best net front PP guys, and some #grit. Devils need goals, #grit, and #leadership.

PP 1: Hall (left boards)-Simmonds (net front)-Hughes (right boards Palmieri-Subban

I lowkey want Jake Gardiner for 6x6 *Ducks and hides*

Right- who knows what the Flyers are; does Aho move on? Do Ovechkin/Backstrom lose a step? I mean, this division is wide open.

Here is the way I'm looking at the Panarin thing. He pretty much ****** Columbus and left the Isles high and dry. The way the Rangers get their UFAs, it was only a matter of time before they got another similar UFA, whether it be Hall next year, etc. etc. The reason I bring that up is, with good/great NHLers knocking down the door to play for that sh!t franchise, they were likely to be good anyway. The Islanders were smoke and mirrors last year due to insane goaltending that will not be repeated. They are not a good team and Panarin would obviously make them more "real". Columbus is about to lose their #1C (Duchene), best player (Panarin), top 3 goalie in the league (Bobrovsky), and middle six forward (Dzingel). Yes, they have some pieces in Jones, Werenski, and Dubois, but they are going to be pretty bad. 2 teams in the division got a lot worse.

Yeah, this post seems to hit it on the head. It's not like they're losing a ton of top end talent from the roster either. Their replacements in the lineup should come much cheaper: Greene- 3LD Zajac- 3C Cory- 1B at best by that point Vatanen- 2/3 RD
