Pavelski is 34 and Joe Thornton is approximately 4, 567 years old. Now they lock up Karlsson at huge term for 8 years. Presumably they think they will contend in the first few years of that deal. But this seems, at first blush anyway, to be optimistic about their situation at C. Anyhow, I leave it to better minds than my own to figure out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Pavelski or Karlsson, it was never both. Not with Karlsson at 11.5 million per. San Jose's prospect pool is barren. They have to decide, keep swinging or go into a long painful rebuild 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Pavelski or Karlsson, it was never both. Not with Karlsson at 11.5 million per. San Jose's prospect pool is barren. They have to decide, keep swinging or go into a long painful rebuild That's what I thought. And Karlsson's decision to sign seems a tad odd in light of that. He's basically committing to spending the rest of his career on a team that is standing on the precipice, at the very end of its very long run of excellence, and is most likely about to enter the trough of sustained mediocrity. Now maybe he loves San Jose and doesn't make life decisions based on the prospects for team success. But at face value this decision further reinforces a suspicion I've long held, i.e., that NHL players are often surprising unperceptive about the organizations they're signing up for. EK probably sees SJ as perennial contenders who will somehow stay that way forever - much as people used to think about Detroit, before Zetterberg and Datsyuk suddenly but predictably got old, and suddenly Detroit was nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I am not sure about that trade as I really like Juulsen and wouldn't want to give him up for maybe 1 year of T J Brodie. Brodie is a good player though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the price is too high for Gostisbehere, it'll be even higher for Lindholm. I suspect he's about as close to untouchable as anyone on Anaheim.

tomh009 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 If we can't get either Gostisbehere or Gardiner, I'd really like to try to get Julius Honka from Dallas. I earlier proposed swapping him and Hudon, but in any case he should not be expensive as he doesn't fit in the Stars' system and, as a result, barely got any playing time last season. (No, he's not a top-pair D but if he can fit in our system he could be second pair. Put him on the left if necessary ...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Love the line about the tweet. That's hilarious. I didn't expect Bergevin to do anything. Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Dom Luszczyszyn the Athletic: Projected Contract: $6.8M x 6 years This is a contract that deeply concerns me. On a six-year deal, Evolving Hockey pegs Duchene to be worth $6.8-million per season, while my model thinks he’s worth $6.7 million. Rumors are swirling that Duchene will command significantly more than that on the open market: north of $9-million per season. It’ll be an extremely tough ask for him to live up to that.

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Agree Duchesne is not a franchise player but a very good player. He is certainly a level above Kevin Hayes who got 7 million. He will get paid very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
