You are correct, it was before he signed that contract, that his play had dropped off signicantly.
I believe Lefty and Nighty were 2 of those who supported that contract.
God those 2 are idiotslol…Lefty yes… NH definitely not.
Myself, I stated that if management couldnt get a reasonable deal done, they would trade him. I was wrong on both accounts. Instead they forced EP to sign an inflated contract and refused to trade him before his NTC kicked in and here we are.
That’s almost as bad as trying to get rid of Boeser for a couple of seasons… failed because he wasn’t worth anything… then re-sign him once he was a UFA to a contract with a NTC locking him down for several more years after they finally got him off the books.
Fuck those clowns.
The culture of this team moving forward is huge as we all know. Hopefully he’s moved sooner than later.
Hopefully they find a way to trade Boeser as well. Time for all the flakes to go.
Demko I see as a positive in the room but he is better for the rebuild as an asset if he can get a healthy run in.
After those guys are gone, it’s pretty much the end of that era.
Yes Cootes impressed & stood out above against everyone. Still has to make a case to stick in the NHL. UFA signings left that door open. Very good chance he makes the roster.
My wants is seeing a faster style & young guys getting plenty of opportunity to play through mistakes.
Hopefully Raty gets more leash. It was pretty telling when Raty went to the worlds and was one of Finlands better players. Foote had no patience for him even when they were short multiple C’s.
Cootes looking good in Dev camp. Looks like his puck handling and shot has improved. Looking more than 1 year older than this new draft class by quite a bit. There’s no way he’s going back to junior. Full time pro this season.
Before the twins became Presidents, they offered to work with EP116 to improve his game. Apparently he blew them off. It’s also been suggested he’s lost his passion for the game which coincidentally occured right after he signed his deal. This team will be crap for awhile, in the long run they are better off without him.
It was further back than that. He started to fall off a couple of month before the deal was done actually. I did notice the “right after the deal” narrative has grown roots since some of the media rewrote the facts as time passed. No Canuck fan should be getting dooped on this. We were all watching and debating it at the time.
If the idiot management team had of waited to the summer like they agreed, EP would have lost bargaining power significantly. Too bad EP didnt refuse then he would have been traded before this became an issue.
5/18m is one hefty new cap hit of roughly 17%
Ducks in hindsight shoulda done say 7/16m. Gauthier up next year. Cap crunch coming fast.All of a sudden 11.6m doesn’t look as bad lol
Nico Hischier just got 11.8 per. Hit 80 points once 4 seasons ago… hasn’t made it to 70 since so he has fallen off on production as well. EP’s inflated salary is getting less inflated by the week. Hopefully this helps get a trade done.
I think the team had a good day yesterday. Don’t know much about today’s signing. The Gallagher signing I still don’t get but it’s not worth worrying about.It’s done so move on. I like the Schenn signing and Jamie O.I think Schenn will be an excellent mentor to DPetey.
Agree on Schenn helping DPetey be more assertive & physical along with more savvy on being a total pro. On Gallagher it’s more of of a cheaper vet plug to show kids the grit & determination needed. Cap hit of 3.25m means nothing. Overall it’s about team identity forming up & kids develop & the system taming full root. Manny is looking for a fast North South style.
Not very many kids going to be on the team this season. Most of this years draft class wont even be in camp. Are you suggesting they re-sign him?
Just found out what the condition is. I was worried it was lottery protected… not quite. Top 10 protected. I hope the Rangers finish 11th from last lol.
So lets speculate what Hronek could fetch if MP gets a 1st? 1st in a nearer draft and a young Dman or prospect?
