i didn't find the fake glass ads that distracting but again, just because you eventually get used to something doesn't mean it isn't bad in the first place

bure on the canucks has always been like the archetype to me of the noble adversary that has earned your infinite respect after arduous battle. or something. also the 94 canucks jerseys are so good and i've always wanted one

To be fair, that includes Franzen, so once he goes on LTIR that'll free up $4 mil in cap space, giving them $1 mil of cap space for a bottom 5 team in the league. And they still have to sign Athanasiou.

it's really stupid that no one has offer sheeted athanasiou

Maybe because of the collusion between NHL teams to not send them out? If Draisaitl hasn't got an offer sheet, no one will.

With that said, I had a thought earlier in the week that it would be fun if offer sheets remained anonymous up to the point where the player switched teams. I.E Team A could send an offer sheet for a player on Team B without Team B (or anyone aside from Team A, the player in question and the league) knowing who it was from. Team B could match the offer, and Team A would never be revealed as the one who did it. If Team B walked away, the player would join Team A. It would encourage more underhanded tactics from teams and add a bit of intrigue to the duller summer months. Sadly we all know the league doesn't actually want them sent out because they drive player salaries up.

the thing about draisaitl is that even a successful offer sheet on him will return a ton of picks. athanasiou's contract is probably like a third of what draisaitl's will be, there's absolutely no risk involved

Spooner got a 1 year deal for 2.825 which is less than I thought he would. Boston should probably stop jerking him around and figure out what to do, though.

Also, sign Pasta already Sweeney. What the gently caress.

trade him for nick holden.

I mean it helps in terms of "not having Marc Staal on the ice", not that they really have a huge need for cap space unless they're going to swing a deal for someone with a notable cap hit. Buying him out this year versus next year wouldn't really make a huge difference though I think.

i mean the cap hit from buying him out now would hurt next year when we have a lot of people to re-sign

what the gently caress is this offer. jesus isles.

i mean i understand that you lowball players going into arbitration but he's easily worth over 3. probably over 4.

So the spread of ask and offer is bascially $2 million and $5 million and you are all surprised because his real value is square in the middle of those two numbers at $3-4 million. That sounds about right for an opening offer in a negation if they want to meet in the middle at a realistic number.

iirc it's a bigger spread by percentage of the total AAV than any other one that's been revealed this offseason so yes, it's surprising.

Hockey goons, my band is about to embark on a 10-week tour of US/Canada. We tour extensively quite often, we're a duo of brothers. I play drums, he plays guitar/loops, we work with the engineer of The Melvins. Mix of heavy rock and a sort of cinematic post-rock I suppose. Come say hi, mainly because I've never met any of you in real life and have been posting here for a long while.

http://www.jerkagram.com/tour

We're going almost everywhere, and if you live in a major non-Alberta Canadian city, we will be playing it.

*end shameless promotion*

drat dogg i'll see you at PRF louisville. had no idea that was your band.

he doesn't make that many defensive mistakes as such, he just isn't that interested in defense in general. as long as he plays with someone who can do the heavy lifting for him it'll be fine.

also eric lindros, secret nazi?

he used to play next to theo fleury, who wore #14, so,
