Presuming this rando’s math is correct, 

 

Ottawa is going to make it and the team that goes on a heater will take the last spot.

 

Habs are in the mix 🎉

 

Looking at SOS, Wings and Isles are 1 and 3, in terms of hardest remaining schedule. Rangers and CBJ also in the top 10. The Bs and Sens both have weaker remaining schedules. The Habs also have 2 games remaining against the Sens, and sport a 2-0 record against them this season, outscoring them 9-3. Losing 8 of 9 before the 4 Nations break was really a killer, and is keeping my optimism in check for the remainder of this season.

At least now that means we are progressing. In the Bergevin/Gaineygoat/Houle eras it usually meant we weren’t good enough o make the playoffs, or bad enough to get a decent draft pick.

I domt think its safe to assume ottawa will make it.

 

They are likely to make it and in the best spot but there is no guarantee they play over 500 hockey.

Woah. 72M$ (9M$ fo 8 years)

 

This is a lot of money for Jakob Chychrun who has ever played only 1 full season cuz of injuries  and never hit the 45 pts mark !?!!

I'm really unsure about player value currently. I think the league is on the cusp of new salary norms

I think there are going to be a few contracts that make people go WOAH

 

since the cap projections have come out. 

 

Yeah I was responding similarly when you posted. 
 

With the cap moving big, salaries are going to move big too. 
 

We got a bargain on Slaf, Suzy, Caufield and hopefully Hutson soon

I wouldn't hold my breath on getting Hutson at a bargain....he will very likely be our first 'WOAH' contract of the higher cap era we are about to enter.

I would agree, don't think we will get a Suzuki or Caulfield type deal. The cap is going up and obviously the players and agents are well aware. That's the only reason Chychrun got Makar type money.

4 teams eliminated in the west. None yet in the east. 
 

As for clinching, the announcer of the Islanders & Canes game said that Carolina could clinch today with a win. Turns out that’s inaccurate. While the Rangers can’t catch them, Columbus still can. As well as New Jersey and Montreal. Very unlikely for them to miss but clinch they have not.

How much are they paying in the current deal?

It is a 12 year $5.2B deal from what I can find.

Damn I was hoping for Prime

 

Prime wasn't going to pick up the full rights package.  What this likely guarantees is that they'll spin off Monday night rights to Amazon so that the status quo will continue.

Probably likely that TSN picks up Canadiens games again too which I would be happy about. Mike Johnson is a treat

Tsn isnt paying that money and thats why they cap is rising.

I would rather the cap go down and have quality broadcasting. They get paid well now. But i get it's a business, so if sportsnet can pay more, they win.

Yep. He's excellent.  Most of their color guys are better. There is way more insightful commentary .

Hopefully the price on Sportsnet+ will not go up ...

My point was that it isn't what fans prefer, the NHL/NHLPA is always going to push for the bigger deal.
