that would be like Lake Placid, miracle on ice
basically, yeah.
but hey, they still have Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Karlsson, Fleury… all at the end of their careers, but still very talented.
looks like we’ll have to wait till Thanksgiving when the Pens are out
I guess they wanna give it one last shot…
Classy move by the Pens ????
yeah, and they also kinda need it, Fleury might be 40 years old but he could help out with the shitty goaltending they currently have lol.
as long as he doesn’t become insanely good and messes up the habs’ plans to acquire Sid… 😉
we were talking about Markov yesterday, very similar player imo.
really, eh..? damn, those are big shoes to fill… I wouldn’t bet on him becoming that type of player but if he does I’ll be pleasantly surprised.
solid prospect, will eventually be better than Struble and wifi imo.
I don’t see him becoming a top 4, but yeah I guess that’s possible, he’ll need to bring a very physical game to do so.
I dont see many universe where Engstrom make the team this year… ?
he’s probably good enough for the NHL, but yeah it would take multiple injuries on the backend for him to get a spot right now.
Maybe they are just waiting for the cap ceiling to be be officially called before signing.
Mo’ cap, mo’ money.
I do not believe that is the correct max player contract for Kaprisov.
Max player salary is 20% of the cap (unless I missed a change to that rule?)
Kaprisov is already signed for this season.Max salary for a player contract starting next season for Kaprisov (with salary cap over $100mm) will be slightly over $20mm.
Unless you sign/extend him *before* the ’26/27 cap is officially declared, then maybe this years cap ($95.5mm team / $19.1mm player) might apply?Either way, if we are going down the tinfoil hat / tampering rabbit hole, “some nefarious team” could let him know that $20 is waiting.
Personally I doubt it, but hey, speculation is where we’re at right now.yeah, I’m definitely far from being a capologist, so this is definitely out of my wheelhouse loll.
you’re right, next year the max cap hit per player will be more than 17.6, it just hasn’t been set yet because we don’t know what the official salary cap ceiling will be…
anyway, he’s a good player but I’m not sure he’s worth these insane numbers that are being speculated, but hey, it’s a new cap world I guess.
HE not worth more than Drycycle
that’s why in a way I was thinking Kaprisov was doing the wild a favor by turning the deal down, in a few years they might’ve regretted it.
100 %
and I was partially playing
but…
it really sucks for the fans
oh definitely, can’t imagine if a star player drafted by the habs refused a ton of money like that, fans in Minnesota have the right to be pissed.
re: Kaprisov
New 32 Thoughts Podcast came out and Friedman is speculating that someone has tampered and whispered big money to his people.
He thought maybe 7 x 18 or 7 x 20.
What he did *not* mention (my own speculation) is that it could be a no-tax State whispering 7 x 16.
Friedman mentioned that he did not think Kaprisov was looking for a shorter deal like the McDavid speculation. (he said he might be wrong about that though)
Kaprisov’s injury history was brought up as being another factor in trying to navigate the whole process for both sides.RAMPANT SPECULATION BABY !
WE ARE SO BACK, LETS GO !
so is this what Friedman means by “tampering”, offering him more than the allowed maximum annual salary (which is currently at 17.6)..?
and Newhook, don’t forget Newhook
even with Laine he has no finnish…
Kick’s dirty underwear, Laine, 1st, 2nd and Beck.
Quit frankly, the underwear should be enough. the rest is a throw in.
I would’ve kept the underwear, but you gotta give to get…
pi en fait c’est Louis Morissette qui a lancé la banière “KO Sports”, c’est avec eux le podcast:
