Does Reaves punch way harder than Sestito or something? Niskanen might think twice about having anymore accidents, otherwise Tom Wilson will get punched by some guy for him! https://twitter.com/IneffectiveMath/status/878432231798296576

Suspicious posted:I suppose whoever gets Alzner will end up overpaying, but he's not that bad of a dman, is he? The criticism of him is a little overdone because he was very clearly played in too prominent a role with the Caps all last season and his reputation seems to be lining up for some team to overpay. It's fair to say he's very one-dimensional and slow, but he played against the toughest QoC on the Caps last season. In a reduced role he could probably be pretty good because he's a very good decision-maker and he is actually good in his one dimension when he isn't up against speed, but in free-agency he's going to get more money than someone in that role should get.

a false posted:i'd personally want to lock him up for more than 8 years. i mean, you're screwed in the event of catastrophic injury, but that's true for anybody, right? If Ovechkin had been limited to the current 8 year max when he signed his current 13 year extension he would have been a free agent after the 2015-2016 season in which he scored 50 goals. Would've been interesting to see what happened this past season. Benson Cunningham posted:From watching McDavid play, he looks like a Crosby level talent. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get upwards of $15m a year on a long term contract. $15 million is the current single player max based on 20% of the $75 mil cap. glynnenstein fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Jun 27, 2017 |

He looks good in certain narrow views. He probably is better than we think of him because his gaffs are so glaring in the eye test. (Slow as hell, pushes people into his goalie, takes bad penalties.) The bottom line is that he's crazy expensive for a 3rd pairing D, which is a much bigger drag on the Caps than his on-ice play. After the last 10 days or so I'm not sure that GMBM is tuned in to that aspect as well as I'd thought, either.

Kilza posted:Well it's $750k more cap space, which Chiarelli can use to sign good players and help the Oilers win the St- Exactly. It's a fool's gamble to sacrifice your own salary so the team can compete. Maybe your GM will build a rock solid contender like the 2017 Caps, or maybe your GM will mismanage young cost controlled assets and overpay high shooting % like the 2018 Caps.

DC is in a special situation. It has agreements with MD and VA about taxes so that you only pay as a resident of either MD or VA unless you actually live in DC part-time. Most other places don't do that and there are different rules for different states and localities regarding non-resident and part-time resident taxes and some have special rules specifically regarding pro athletes. Since the NHL pays on a per-game basis, residency is a 50-ish% part of tax burden calculations so it's a big deal, but the overall math is pretty complicated.

I very pointedly stopped giving the NHL/Caps money after the most recent lockout, but it would be really hard for me to stop being a fan of the team. And by really hard I mean I'm still a Redskins fan.

I can't find an example on the site itself. Sure. I'm a fan so I'm happy to pimp his work for everybody here. The Caps season summary for 2016-2017:  Here's a couple of those visualizations up close:   A game summary for May 8 vs the Pens:    And an individual player summary for that game, in this case Backstrom:  And since I'm sure everyone would demand it, a gallery of all of the visualizations for Tom Wilson's 2016-2017 season summary. The only one missing from his is 5v4 shot locations because I'm pretty sure the value for that is null.

It's definitely not for everybody, but it's a lot of information and context very quickly. For example, I can look at the game summary matchup viz and get a good idea of which players were up against whom and which side got the better of it right away.

I would bank that Ovie is gonna miss games either because he goes and plays somehow or as a protest. He's said so forever and Leonsis has backed him, though the league would probably step in to stop/punish owners doing that.

Gunjin posted:You can never tell with Malamud, he has a huge hate boner for both Ovechkin and the Capitals, and has no problem taking quotes out of context to make things sound more negative towards them or to get attention for himself. I had to stop following him a while ago because of that. I've lost touch with a friend of mine who did some Russian translation services for the Capitals back around 2003-2008 who would be able to give me some better insight into this sort of thing.

I subbed The Athletic during the Caps' series against Toronto. If they did a DC branch I'd stay subbed for sure based on what I've seen and I'd recommend it for the other cities they cover. If you aren't a fan of the teams in one of their cities I'd probably pass, but I'm glad I'll get to see what they do this coming regular season before I decide. I am completely at peace with paying for good stuff these days since that's the way everything is headed; and they do have a lot of good stuff even if there still are plenty of good free outlets for now.

Kilza posted:Well by that logic, since Abdelkader makes $4.25 mil AAV and Athanasiou is better than him, he really should be making $5+ mil AAV on his next contract. This is why overpay contracts are worse than just the one guy's cap hit. When people like Tom Wilson have multi-million dollar contracts it creates a higher floor for negotiations with other players who might otherwise be comparing against replacement level contract numbers. When you have a whole team of bad contracts it becomes impossible to sign people for their actual value.
