Muevelos Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 4 hours ago, Derlique said: It is absolutely a horrible contract. Fleury's deal kicks in when he is 35 and it runs through his 37 year old season. For a goalie who has been largely inconsistent, and relies on athleticism, paying a goalie 7 million aav in his mid-late 30s does not seem like a good gamble. Not largely inconsistent. And not that big of a gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBallofHate Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Maybe it's the language difference or "maybe" he's an *ss... “When I was making my decision, it was all about hockey because I have three or four years left in my tank where I can really play at a high level,” Kovalchuk said. “L.A. has a great group of guys. Like I said, great goaltending, great defense, and they have one of the best centers in the league. I never had a chance to play with those kinds of guys, so it’s really exciting for me. It’s great.” https://lakingsinsider.com/2018/07/14/kovalchuk-describes-decision-to-join-kings-modern-nhl-kovy-vs-kings-pics/ 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The miserable POS can enjoy his three months of NHL hockey and ensuing two-and-a-half years battling to come back from a knee injury in the course of his new contract before he retires aka flops himself out of the league. He's coming back to win the Cup? When it comes to cups he's going to have settle for the one in his pants and a dusty old mug that says "World's #1 Baba." This insignificant douche might not play a single playoff game. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derlique Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 17 hours ago, Daniel said: It doesn’t make a difference. He could literally turn into the worst goalie in the league this year, and it won’t stop Vegas from doing anything else they plausibly might be in a position to do. And by that, I mean they could trade for Karlsson and Ryan, give Karlsson $12 million a year for 8 years, and they’ll still have something like $12million in cap space going forward. People have to stop thinking of the NHL like a fantasy league where every player is available but only for a price. As of now, they have about 15 million in cap space. William Karlsson is due a massive raise right now- likely will get 6.5+. Shea Theodore needs a new deal- could get 2+ if they bridge him or 4+ if they give him a Severson deal. Nosek will likely make at least 1.5 million. Next year, Nate Schmidt needs a new deal- he will likely get at least 5 or 6 million. Tuch is due next year as well. They're in fine shape right now, but things will get dicey soon if they aren't careful, and they arent being careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He followed that up with a 97 point season in Boston and another ppg season after that.

Mitico12 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Apparently Panarin negotiations have hit a halt in Columbus. I would LOVE to see Panarin in NJ. How about sending Palmieri, Severson, and a 1st to Columbus for Panarin (with extension)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Columbus are pretty set on D, especially on the right side. They'd ask for forwards coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Columbus would never trade Panarin in the division. Yes, I know in-division trades happen- but not for that type of player. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me crazy, but I wouldn't do that trade. I think Palmieri has developed into one of the heart guys / leaders here - I love having him on this team. I'd be more inclined to do McLeod + 1st + _______ but I don't think that's even close to getting it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Columbus is probably in win now mode at this point so the offer would have to include someone to fill Panarin's spot on the roster you would think. I kind of agree about Palmieri being a core piece but if you're able to upgrade to Panarin, I would think you would have to pull the trigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Palmieri as much as the next guy, but if Columbus agreed to that trade, I think you have to do it. It's what's best for the team, even if Palms is indeed a leader and a great guy in the locker room. That said, there's no way they agree to that deal, much less McLeod. Also, I was assuming there would be a 3rd piece added, most likely a forward prospect, since someone mentioned above that they probably wouldn't want/need Severson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
