Yeah those all make sense, but I thought they'd be going for it instead of trying to pull off the magic trade all your decent secondary pieces away and continue to get better move like the hawks have only been able to do so far

I think at this point the go for it stuff already happened the last 4 years of trading away 1sts and 2nds like they're candy in order to get Hank his cup. I think Torton sees the writing on the wall and tbh, if Hank doesn't like it, he can kick rocks.

IMO if the org doesn't realize that "transitioning to a younger team" =! rebuild, then SAS likely has many more years of entertainment at the Canucks' expense to look forward to

I mean, the Rangers are pulling it off without going into full on rebuild mode.It'll be really obvious if they don't sign Shattenkirk because they're going to need some young kids to step up on D.

There needs to be a term to distinguish between players who are poo poo on because they are really bad and you wouldn't want at an price and players who are salary cap bad who are decent or even good players but get poo poo on because they are hurting their team by making dumb money.

Rick Nash comes to mind for the latter group. Dude is a goddamn defensive force, incredible on the forecheck and PK, but he just doesn't seem to consistently score enough to be worth his cap hit.

He'd be incredible around 5.5mil per.

Is it really sniping when everyone and their mother has assumed all year that Shattenkirk is signing in New York?

If they're making a push for him like they did with Vesey last summer who was rumored to be headed to Broadway, yeah, it's sniping.

If you put Lebron James on the worst NBA team they would instantly be a serious playoff team, given that in important games he can be on the court > 90% of the time

If you put Sidney Crosby on the worst NHL team, I don't think the same happens (although there's not as big a difference in win % between the best and worst teams in NHL and NBA, since the NBA is statistically the most predictable sport)

Nah, the Knicks would still be bad.
