Sujet: (CGY/DAL/NJD) - Tanev for Grushnikov, 2024 2nd (DAL), 2026 4th (DAL), 2026 3rd (DAL) for Brady
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>NOV had the chance to do a blockbuster with TOR who were down 2 Dman and were desperate but held on to get....Market value for both him and Zadorov both of which could have went for more

I know Brad was the former GM but you got to think CGY would have got a better return than this or Zadorov's</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Its kind of funny how CGY didnt want to deal with their former GM for Zadorov + Tanev back in NOV but was more than fine taking market value for Zadorov and okay value for Tanev

Dallas and Van just walk away with casual robberies lul</div></div>

Pretty bold to state Toronto could offer more when they have no second rounder for the next 3 drafts.

Sujet: Washington Capitals signed Tom Wilson (7 Years / $6,500,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WallStreet83</b></div><div>I voted no for the 7 years but here's the thing: players like Wilson don't grow on trees. He's a big, skilled power forward who brings character and leadership and can bully and intimidate other teams which is something not many NHL players can do in this era.

It's likely going to age poorly because of his injury history but the Caps are going to have a lot of cap space in the near future. Let's face facts: every team in the league would love to have a Tom Wilson on their team, especially after seeing how Vegas steamrolled their way to a Stanley Cup.</div></div>

Physicality does not equal success. The most physical teams last year were, in order, Pittsburgh, Ottawa, Nashville, Philadelphia, New York Islanders and Arizona. Vegas was 14th.

They were 12th of the 16 playoff teams for hits/60 in the postseason.

I have no idea what Vegas' Cup win has to do with Tom Wilson. I don't see a connection.

Sujet: Carolina Hurricanes signed Anthony Deangelo (1 Year / $1,675,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vmark</b></div><div>The way he was portrayed in the media, as racist and whatnot, was a witch hunt scenario due to his political beliefs. I didn't say the Rangers bought him out because of his political views, but they were also under pressure from the media after it came out that he made fun of Georgiev, or whatever.

The Rangers suck though. Let's not forget Trouba is their captain and both Kakko and Lafreniere are busts.

Plenty of his teammates have gone on record saying he is a good teammate. Carolina just signed him again... not at 5M a year though.

I see nothing wrong here and I think he gets too much hate from people on the internet who have no idea what they're talking about.</div></div>

He was suspended twice in junior for making racist or otherwise discriminatory comments against both opposition and teammates. Here is a link from his own team suspending him for it (https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/juniors/deangelo-on-scouts-radar-for-wrong-reasons/)

The rangers decided they couldn't put up with him anymore. Here is there gm:

"You know what, Tony wasn't able to move on from that; it was something that he was trying to get through," Gorton said. "I had spoken to him at that time and said, 'Listen, if there are any more issues here, the time is going to come where we're going to put you on waivers and move on. No more issues. If your name is in anything at all that we have to hear, we're going to move on. We're going to make that move.'

https://www.nhl.com/news/tony-deangelo-of-new-york-rangers-clears-waivers/c-320927558

He was also scratched 8 times in the ahl in his rookie season despite being quite productive and then traded for pennies on the dollar to Arizona. It was rumoured to be for behavior but of course it is just rumours this time

I don't know if people tried to make him into a political scapegoat or something, but this isn't about him being conservative or who he votes for. It's about a repeated pattern of being a bad egg.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brian2016</b></div><div>I'm still not hearing any specifics. When. you (not you personally) attack someone's character, there should be specific evidence, no? The only thing I remember from NY was a fight with Georgiev and an internet hoax involving K'Andre Miller. Nothing I've seen or heard tells me the Phi buyout had anything to do with off-ice issues. It seemed to be a hockey decision. Seems to. me like he has a history of underperformance, not character issues.</div></div>

It's unlikely we'll ever get the full details of any incident until many years later in biographies and the like, but there is a lot of smoke of teams wanting nothing to do with him. Reportedly Tampa wanted to dump his rights for character reasons. As above NYR wanted him out of the organization and not even playing with their ahl team. That suggests there are issues with who he is. If you're looking for incontrovertible proof you won't be able to find it. But there is a lot of smoke here to use the analogy you mentioned earlier

Sujet: Seattle Kraken signed Vince Dunn (4 Years / $7,350,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KrakenTheCode</b></div><div>I think this is a contract that serves both Dunn and the Kraken well. Dunn gets a nice payday coming off his breakout season and if he continues to produce like he has will get the opportunity to cash in again down the road while still in his prime. The Kraken get at least four more years of their best LHD who has blossomed into a legitimate top-pairing defenseman during his time in Seattle. Vince Dunn's play and his partnership with Adam Larsson have been critical to Seattle's success, and I'm excited to see him continue work his on-ice magic in a Kraken uniform for many years to come!</div></div>

Mate, take off the Kraken glasses for a moment. This is a serious overpay. He’s 500k short of Quinn Hughes money and he’s half the player.
