Aye Doc posted:We over at the SAS Fantasy Draft thread creep ever closer to reaching our goals. For only 30 minutes a day of your time, you can save the empty, hockey-less soul of a suffering fan. The offseason quiet is coming soon, and it is going to come hard and through the ever-powerful bonds of fantasy drafting, we can chase away the despair. Please come join us, we only need 9 teams to get the draft started up! Are you still cool with people who drop out in the late teen rounds and sheepishly check the thread a month later to find that nobody noticed they quit making picks?

Someone needs to post the Avery-economics article now - or that 30 for 30 episode about going broke. Although the latter is infinitely less hilarious than Avery losing his playing bucks to arguably the most predatory agent not named "Johnson"

The Oilers are almost certainly going to max the cap out every year for the next 10 years so it's not like it's actually saving Katz any money. It leaves $10m to resign other players increasing the Oiler's chances.

I am probably the only penguin fan that will say this, but I'd happily see Sid retire this year, while on top and mostly whole. then we could all call McDavid the best unequivocally. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see more cups in Pittsburgh, but I'd really not like to see them holding the bits of Crosby's brain that leaked out after hiis 19th concussion. Also, McDavid is making Like 1.83 billion pesos to hit a black piece of a rubber with a stick. Apparently 86% of it guaranteed. and in 8 years will quite likely be in position to get paid again if he wants. He may not have gotten everything he could have, but he didn't do that badly either.

Crosby should retire retroactively, and we should have a do-over on the playoffs.

Actually, he's in my keeper league, so not 'till after next season. Speaking of which, I've been putting together a list of outliers and off year players from last season. The idea being that I want to avoid things like drafting TJ Oshie's 20%+ shooting on my fantasy teams. If there's interest, I can put together a thread to discuss things like who will get worse, who will rebound, who got a shiny new linemate, and who got traded to/signed with Colorado.

If Mcdavid and Crosby really wanted to make the most money anyways they'd just sign in New York and get an absurd amount of endorsement deals.

Galchenyuk is a UFA at the end of the deal and has the option to gently caress off if he wants. Or he gets packaged as a rental and gets a shot at a stanley cup.

McDavid would've kept $8.4m more dollars after tax if he signed in Nashville/Florida/Dallas, or $5.3m less if he signed in Montreal. Dollars taken home isn't the only thing players care about except Radulov
