Sujet: NYR Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>If what you’re suggesting is true, Shesty should be a stand alone 1 for MVP. McDavid is struggling to get oil into a wild card spot. And the reason we aren’t in 1st is because shesty has had multiple stints of not playing due to Covid and injury. Offence wins game and Defence wins championships right, that’s how the story goes at least. We have the best defender in the league in shesty while we have been a top scoring team in 22’ so far. Seems like your points are counterintuitive. We have too many prospects in our system that will never get the chances they should get while the following years we will be in more of a cap crunch and not able to move bigger contracts to make space for those prospects. While you’re bang on with our skater not being as productive on the ice as they should be 5v5, it’s absolutely not the reason to be out on big names that could even help us in that area.</div></div>

Ovechkin will win the Hart and he should be number 1. He’s been unbelievable. But no my point is not counterintuitive- why go in on a bunch of guys with expiring contracts at the risk of losing players who could develop into solid middle 6 players? You lose out on young talent when you trade for pending UFA’s of the caliber you listed. Doesn’t make sense to lose the young talent to patch up the holes on a team that’s not built to win in the playoffs. Just hope they develop so you continue to contend for 7-10 more years and not just the next 3-5

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jimbo1119</b></div><div>What’s delusional is the pie-in-the-sky ask they put out there…I mean a projected 1C (on a team w/o Barkov), a stud young goalie, and a 1st in a deep draft? Please…they’re just trying to start a bidding war….if that truly is their “low bar” of an acceptable deal, then I guess he’ll stay in AZN….nothing wrong with NYR kicking the tires on a deal…and no matter what happens with Chyk, AZN is probably the best landing spot for Krav.</div></div>

No nothing at all but 23 year old top pair defenseman with an AAV under 5 will require a package closer to what Marek said than what is posted here. I know Ranger fans despise the thought, but any Chyc deal would probably have to center around Kakko/Laf

Sujet: Imagine if the Oilers had signed Yakupov to 8x8 contract
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Hughes with 55 points in 121 games. and Dach with 42 points in 104 games. It's probably worth mentioning that Dach put up almost as many points as Kakko last season in 30 fewer games and actually maintains a better 2 way game than both Hughes and Kakko.</div></div>

This is not true- Kakko was one of the best defensive wingers in the league last season, while Hughes defensive metrics were very very positive as well. Offensively Kakko will start to put up points because he’s playing with Strome and Panarin, as evidenced by his 8 points over the past 9/10 or so games.

Hughes drives play better than both of them from the center position, which is the most important position in the sport. The 8x8 is an overpay, and will be for the first 2-3 years of the deal, but if he becomes the 75-80 point guy everyone thinks he’ll become, it’s worth it for the 4-5 years on the back end. The point totals are funny to me, because he doesn’t really have a lot of talent around him. This year he does, and he’s at a point per game. Only 5 games though. Just a matter of him staying healthy

Dach is a really really good young player but not quite as good as the other two. Also helps to play with wingers like Kane or DeBrincat every shift…definitely eases the transition because they’re incredible
