Your carlson comment is obviously directed at someone else.
And if there were solid young prospects, they would be playing.
We can talk about bad contracts if you want. Hags is a bad contract. I'm sorry, I know his game well. He couldn't score a goal to save his life. He's useless out there to generate offense.
Oshie contract is worse than Hornqvist. They are both the same injury prone player with head issues. The only difference is one doesn't last till the player is 38.
They both have the same issues. They don't play up temp games. They are both the same age. And if you are basing it off the number over the last two years it's about equal production. So lets just end that argument.
Gudbranson isn't a bad contract. So that's done. I'm more then willing to accept a defense man with an even strength corsi of 54-55% range when they spend 60% of their faceoffs in the defensive zone.
He played well. You just judge him for what he did on a team that wasn't using him properly.
You don't even know what Tanev will do yet. You just assume. You can easily look at a contract like Eller and call it just as bad a contract.
Not even know how you get jugs as a bad contract. but you troll constantly so there is that.
Like I said. This is one of the oldest teams in the league. That's a true statement. I'm gonna guess its top 8 in age.
You are tight against the cap, and you will feel that next year. It's ok it happens to all teams. But it could have been avoided by playing more youth instead of signing aging vets like Hags for millions.
But go on with your bad self.
capitals have 2 that are nhl ready (alexeyev and Fehérváry) unfortunately they arent able to play bc orlov kempny and djoo are all currently better and alexeyev is coming back from injury. capitals are going to be able to trade either kempny or orlov for a pretty massive return due to their great contracts
oshie vs horny since you think they are close
oshie 143 games. 43goals. 101points
horny 139 games. 47 goals 86 points
so in 4 less games horny has 4 more goals but 15 less points... id say oshie is the better player hands down. oshie is still able to play in the tp 6 horny might be 4th line next year at best 3rd line.
that corsi was over 20 games? he ha the nhl worse corsi the other 60 games last season..... and paying a 3rd pairing dman 4milliom for the next 2 years is terrible.... he played well for the penguins but short sample sizes aren't the best inductors
nobody know what tanev is going to do but paying him that much money and hes 27 years old and has 51 career points. he adds some bite but you easily could have achieved that with signing other guys for far less money.
eller has scored 35 points or more the last 2 seasons as a 3rd line center.....thats on the high side of 3rd line center average with very solid production. 2.5-3.5 is ideal for a 3rd line center. he was also able to fill in perfectly at 2c during the cup run when backstrom was out. hes a great 3rd line center and an average number 2 center. can't ask for more than that for a guy who's had average talent on his wings for 2 years... literally made Brett Connelly career.
jugs is very overrated considering he was used as a wing and was brought in to be a center..... he had similar numbers to burakovsky ha. same story different player. got injured and is still looking to find his game. waste of Money you could have got a way better player for far far less money. I wouldn't trade eller 1 for 1 for jugs..... not even if you tossed me a 2nd round pick
I don't troll as other penguins fans have said you just understand value or common sense. bc somebody disagrees with you point you call it "trolling" like some sort of child
top 8 or #8 is different from the oldest ......but hey keep on trying
