mfitz804 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 1994, 6th pick: Ryan Smith. Not bad, 386G, 456A in my 1270 games. I’ll add a step; look at your draft year and position and see if there’s someone below you that you’d prefer have been drafted in “your” spot. Mine is an old friend we all know: Patrik Elias, 51st pick overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, at that point in his career, he only had a World Championship, All Rookie team, Calder Trophy, two All Star appearances, a Jennings Trophy, a Vezina nomination, a division championship, a conference championship, 117 wins, and a Stanley Cup in his first 4 years.

Anhkheg Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 1 hour ago, mfitz804 said: The problem with this logic is, you’ll never have any success because as players come into their prime, they’ll be looking for a high value, long term deal. Which, as we’ve all seen through the years, plenty of teams are willing to give. If you don’t give Hall that deal, he walks. You don’t give Hughes that deal 7 years down the line, he walks. You stay out of “cap hell” and out of contention. We’ve already been doing that, for YEARS. It’s no great mystery to me that we’ve had tons of cap room for years and have failed to be competitive. If we wind up in “cap hell” because Taylor got a $4m raise, then the team has been mismanaged, and/or 4-5 of our young guys have had all star starts to their season and are entitled to huge raises. That’s not a problem. That’s how teams succeed. 1. Taylor Hall at age 24, 8y@10m, no problem. At age 32 after 8 years, Hall will be a tradeable asset because of the cap going up. 2. Taylor Hall at age 29, 8y@10m. not worth it. 3y@10m, 5y@9mill, 7y@8mill, ok even though I think the 7y length is too long. At age 37, after 8 years, Hall will be way below the 10m market value even with the cap going up. I am all for paying a guy like Mitch Marner 7@10/11m, but not Hall at this age. To me, it does not make business sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player doesn't want a short contract at that age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will definitely sign him, but I dont think anyone will give him 10m. On the flipside Panarin will most likely get 8y@12m by some other team. 20 minutes ago, MB3 said: Lol I am so out on this conversation.

Good, stay out of this conversation, because you're not discussing but rather attacking me personally.

A player doesn't want a short contract at that age. I don't necessarily propose trading Hall, but would much rather see him sign a contract which does not hamstring us. Trading is an option as well though. 6 minutes ago, mfitz804 said: I’m gonna pretend I know you were talking about him and not me lol.

Even I know he does not sign for such a short term. I'd propose something like 10/10/10/9/8/7/6/5 or something along those lines.

SterioDesign Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 saw a Rangers fan that i know at the bar last night. He was going on about how the rivalry between the Rangers and Devils will be renewed and bla bla bla and at some point said something like "adding Kakko, Trouva and Panarin is a big boost for the team" like Panarin was a done deal already. Man i hope he signs somewhere else cause im sure there's tons of Rangers fans like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
