Sujet: Boston Bruins signed Pavel Zacha (1 Year / $3,500,000 AAV)

Imagine being handed Bergeron and Krejci on a silver platter, and then do this with the same amount of cap space.

I'm so tired of this team, man. This rebuild will last 24 years.

Sujet: New Jersey Devils signed Jesper Bratt (1 Year / $5,450,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Bratt is a very good player, but he is not NJ's best player. Not even their best offensive player. Hughes is.

If Devils were trading Bratt for Ehlers, Pasta or Meier...NJ would not add. (They'd probably just extend Bratt). Bratt is likely better than Ehlers, is definitely better than Meier and Pasta has 1-year to UFA.

Now, if Rantanen or Kucherov were on the table, as you were suggesting, that may be different story.</div></div>

I rate Bratt over Kuch and Rantnen. Hughes is good, but Bratt’s isolated numbers are dumb-good. Like McDavid 2-3 years ago good.

Sujet: Calgary Flames signed Andrew Mangiapane (3 Years / $5,800,000 AAV)

Mangiapane is one of the better players in the league. Not looking forward to a twice as expensive and half as good Huberdeau getting credit for all the good he will do Calgary over the next 3 years

Sujet: New Jersey Devils signed Jesper Bratt (1 Year / $5,450,000 AAV)

Bratt is probably NJs best player and it’s integral for their future as contenders to get him done long-term. And the worst part is I don’t think the Devils organization believes any of this.

If I’m a team moving out of competition with a forward in their prime (wpg with Ehlers, Boston with Pasta, even SJ with Meier etc) I’m doing whatever I can to flip them for Bratt, and the weirdest part is that those teams probably get an additional asset in return.

Now that I think of it, Bratt is exactly the type of player Colorado or Tampa could trade one of their more veteran scorers for. NJ believes they get the cup pedigree necessary to win, and the perennial contenders keeps contending…

Sujet: Calgary Flames signed Jonathan Huberdeau (8 Years / $10,500,000 AAV)

*This* is why Florida were the winners of the Tkachuk trade. Huberdeau is the kind of player you want to trade because his name value is higher than his one-ice one.

Sujet: New Jersey Devils signed Jonas Siegenthaler (5 Years / $3,400,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CSStrowbridge</b></div><div>There's a difference between offensive leaning and offensive only. In fact, if you are offensive leaning, you likely are an asset defensively, because as long as you have the puck, you opponent can't score.

Siegenthaler is defensive only. He has no offensive upside, meaning as long as he is on the ice, you are likely no scoring either. This is good if you are on the PK, up by a goal late, etc., but neutral most of the time.</div></div>

You're describing Morgan Rielly in reverse

What? Part of my point is that 3.4m is still very good for a specialist. 7-9m isn't.

Morgan Rielly, Darnell Nurse, Roman Josi, are a few heavily offensively leaning defensemen making 7-9m on winning teams.

Looked very dubious until I saw the term. Smart business from Anaheim - might net them a 1st+ at the TDL. This is what a team in their situation should do.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuFfaLOFaN</b></div><div>He is very strong defensively for sure, but will he ever be a second line player if he can't get more than 50 points?

If you play on the 2nd line vs top competition, you don't have to score more than 50 points as long as your opponents score 45 points or w/e

Sure, but also, pick 7 or wherever Joulevi was drafted typically has way more certainty than picks 14-16

Sujet: New York Rangers signed Kaapo Kakko (2 Years / $2,100,000 AAV)

Kakko is good. He's defensively strong and takes fewer penalties than expected. He's the type of player I would expect to call good with a bunch of pushback on this board. However, he was picked highly, so I guess people will hold out for another year or two, then realize his production isn't great, and start to hate him while I continue to believe he's a solid 2nd-line type player.

Sujet: Pittsburgh Penguins signed Danton Heinen (1 Year / $1,000,000 AAV)

Heinen has always been underrated cause he's a strong possession-player. Would've seemingly been a top-6 C on the Bruins this year...

As a Bruins fan who gets crap every time any player from the -15 draft is mentioned I just want to point out Joulevi was picked one slot ahead of Matt Tkachuk

It's s good contract, but it isn't a steal like some are saying.</div></div>

This is hilarious, because offense-only defensemen easily get 7-9m on the market. 3.4 is nothing for this type of player

<img class="for_img" src="https://imgur.com/a/NUEWlPm" alt="NUEWlPm">

While Gaudreau is clearly the more gifted offensive creator, I don't think the value for money is what CBJ thinks it is when accounting for defensive ability.

Sujet: Ottawa Senators signed Joshua Norris (8 Years / $7,950,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>budgeteam</b></div><div>Sens are leveraging their cap space now to lock in his cap hit long term.

If escrow is paid back within 2 seasons, as expected. What will the cap be in the summer of 2025, and what sort of cap projections will they be expecting for the summer of 2026 and beyond?

The cap could have been as high as 88.5 million for the 20-21 season. That doesn't factor in increased HRR from the new US TV deal.

With that kind of raise, you're looking at a 6M player inflating to 7.5+, an 8M player inflating to 10M+, etc.

Norris gave the Senators nothing in terms of help or a discount, but it's still better strategically than the alternative of a bridge deal.</div></div>

If you read what I suggested it was only a 1-year-thing, but I also kind of disagree with the premise. Not because you are wrong in that contracts will grow on average, but because it will still take some time to asdjust to the new normal.

But I can be more clear as well - I believe this in an overpay. Even above 5 mil I'm starting to raise eyebrows regarding Norris.

Forum: NHL Signings14 juill. 2022 à 18 h 35

Sujet: Ottawa Senators signed Joshua Norris (8 Years / $7,950,000 AAV)

Riding a shooting high, bit worried about this one. Norris basically has 3C stats with a crazy shot impact. If that regresses this will look bad quickly. Even with a good shot, 7m was too much for a player like that in Pacioretty for Vegas to hold onto. I wouldn't have paid more than 6 or so million for Norris. Better to qualify as RFA and see him a) regress and buy lower, or b) him sustain a high shooting percentage to prove that he's an outlier.

Sujet: San Jose Sharks signed Oskar Lindblom (2 Years / $2,500,000 AAV)

I see a lot of comments regarding buying or selling high/low.

So Lindblom returned from cancer during covid, and is historically a good defensive forward, rather than one with big offensive output. And he was played in a smaller role than previous for the Flyers when he came back...

This is the exact type of bet you want to make as the Sharks or any other team with cap space and little idea how to navigate free agency.

Sujet: (BOS/NJD) - Haula for Zacha

I almost checked out from my previous habit of watching most Bruins games every season last year because of the Haula signing. He's never been good, there are no redeeming qualities to keep him on the lineup, and less so for paying him almost 3 mil towards the cap. I'm so greatful this happened.

Forum: NHL Signings13 juill. 2022 à 20 h 15

Sujet: Columbus Blue Jackets signed Johnny Gaudreau (7 Years / $9,750,000 AAV)

It all depends on how quickly Johnny requests a trade out of CBJ - if its within the next 3 years they will get a plethora of picks back, but if its later in the contract, they will have to pay to get rid of him.

Of course they arent winning anytime soon.
