Lol if anything we actually need to add another top 4 defenseman not lose oneAnd right into another? Who the hell is going to play D, Hedman at 45 a night?
Lol Dahlin got NHL defense right away? What the hell were you watching?Fair enough but I have heard that about so many other defensemen but have seen others jump into the league and get it right away. Dahlin comes to mind, Ekblad another and these two played on bad teams when they came into the league.
He’s good but yes JBB should have paid him 7.5 AVV not 8.5 AVVare we still acting like sergachev is terrible defensively because he makes mistakes every now and then? he is good enough defensively for an offensive D. maybe overpaid by like a million but who gives a shit.
Yeah and he should have paid Kuch 8.5, Point 8.5, and Stammer 7.5, and Vasy 6... I can play this game too.He’s good but yes JBB should have paid him 7.5 AVV not 8.5 AVV
First off while I " watch a lot of hockey " I rarely use the eye test as the sole basis for any assessment I make. I also never use any offensive stats as any priority in judging a DEFENSEMEN. In Dahlin's case, he came into a Buffalo organization when it was quite possibly the worst team in the league. On the other hand Serg walked into a team that was on the verge of going to the finals and did for 3 consecutive seasons. So I take that into consideration, I also take a look at the minutes and type of situations and minutes a players is playing. I also will look at who a player is paired with. If Serg comes into the league and plays with Hedman is that the same as Perbix playing with a older Hedman? Is it the same as Perbix playing with a Sergachev? I also look at where the d men start their shifts. Some guys start in the o zone and others are used for the defense zone. Possession metrics and other stuff can be found with the right sites. I posted links to the stat sites I use and while it isn't for everybody it might help some understand why I judge players the way that I do. Look up natural stattrick and money puck or just google nhl defensemen stats and play around and you might see what you or I have been missing.Lol Dahlin got NHL defense right away? What the hell were you watching?
Ekblad sucks? He hasn't been good in like 3 seasons, Dahlin is very good but his case is far more rare than you think and this is his sixth season. Temper expectations for young defenders because its rare they're ready to go on day 1.Fair enough but I have heard that about so many other defensemen but have seen others jump into the league and get it right away.

We’ll let’s hope JBB doesn’t sign vladdy again for 2.5 avvI see us grabbing someone for super cheap that nobody expects and we get called out for cheating the system
WHAT THE f***
Ugh I guessJeannot trade took 5 picks and Murray's soul.
None were under contract for next year and all need to still be replaced...so in mostly the same cap spot as a week ago, but with those three more assuredly not coming back.So where are we cap wise with Colton, Perry, and Cole gone. Are we in resign Killer territory now?
We have 7.3 million in cap space still not enough to sign killorn and Jeannot and fill a roster out.So where are we cap wise with Colton, Perry, and Cole gone. Are we in resign Killer territory now?
Assuming Myers and Fleury get sent down, we are sitting at 9.3m to fill 4 forward spots ( 1 being Jeannot) a 3LD, and a back up goalie, and maybe a depth forward that could come from SyracuseSo where are we cap wise with Colton, Perry, and Cole gone. Are we in resign Killer territory now?
IIRC, you can't announce extensions until January.I am very curious if we see extensions for Stamkos and Hagel tomorrow.
Pretty similar, i think Jeannot is more aggressive but Kostin has a mean side as well and probably has a better scorers touch, and his favorite team growing up was Tampa.,Kllm Kostin, who was let go for future considerations— how much different is he from Tanner Jeannot?
I get that timing and situations are entirely different, I’m talking about their skillsets.
They can announce extension for any free agent that expires next july 1st this year. if they just signed a 1 year deal tomorrow, then they would have to wait till January 1st to announce a new extensionIIRC, you can't announce extensions until January.
