For or against

Bergevin bungles yet another contract. This is obviously a "we'll give him one more year and if he doesn't develop as we want him to (AKA if we continue to fuck his development up), we'll trade him next off season" half measure. Ugh. It had to be either 1 year or 5-7.

This signifies to me that he's going to be traded, just a matter of when now. He won't be a Hab in a year from now unless he explodes. I kinda hope he does and takes BargainBin to the cleaners.

Such a strange term, to eat only 1 year of UFA.

ok sorry cake

i'm really happy :) sometimes he plays like an 8M guy and sometimes he plays like a 1M guy, so 5M is right in the middle, it's logical :) and :) perfect :)
 
good for the team but MB continues to show little faith with such a tradable deal.

Leafs going to go on a mini tank so they can sign the kids to 5mil AAV deals.

I thought Habs could get a better deal than 4.9. That's more than I thought he'd get. Now he really needs to live up to the potential.
 
Why did Gretzky only get a million? He outscored this McDavid punk by a shitload.

I knew McDavid was a fucking fraud

Lower cap back then leads to a lower percentage of what an individual player could take would probably be the only hard factor we could point to. Whatever was negotiated...taking a cut, the long term (12 years?), the sell to win Cups, Geno needing to sign the next year...who knew how they got him specifically to that.

Value is really good, length is a bit odd. Seems like this is a lot of Brisson's work, he pulled the same shit with Toffoli. Just happy he'll be here to play with Drouin, they'll definitely give him another shot at centre.

Well, his team mate Malkin is making more than him. Which I found weird

Maybe Crosby is one of those guys, born in 87, wears number 87 and makes 8.7

Thinks its his lucky number or something

Like say AGally has another 30 goal season or two. Suddenly that $4.9M becomes $8M in 3 years when you could have signed him for probably 6 years at a little over $5M.

Yes, guys. It's not like I accurately predicted point totals in the last year or anything.

Looking at his WOWY stats, sh, oish, hdscf and xgf points to someone having a down year considering the production. Down year, you say? Yes. Nylander underperformed by roughly 20 points in his rookie season relative to his actual production.

My estimations place him above Matthews in points next year btw

Since we still haven't acquired a center, my guess is both AGally and Drouin see time at center. It will be a glorious train wreck.

what the hell at that hyman contract LOL

this front office is quickly losing all the credibility it gained a couple years ago

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
I need to hear from Dopey how many points Hyman's going to score next season before I can evaluate that contract

Feel like this is the Leafs' Luke Glendening contract, although Hymen is probably the better player. I'm always uncomfortable when these bottom 6 players, especially wingers, are given 4 or 5 year long contracts.
