faceoffs matter, coburn and carle are turnover machines, brayden schenn never moves his feet, coots is slow too, giroux cant lead the team past the 2nd round, and neuvirth just makes more clutch saves than mason

Trayden and Shutdown Seanie do need to move their feet more. This is true.

You forgot that AMac's callup rejuvenated the team, Raffl should not be in the top 9, Schultz was our best dman in the playoffs, Jake is not elite, Vinny didn't get a fair chance here, and our top 6 needs more size.

Why stop there! Jason Akeson, that renowned driver of possession, was never given a chance here. He continues to be persecuted by the league.

I didn't want to overwhelm anybody but you're both right

#Stars sign Jamie Benn to $76 million, 8-year extension. Cap hit of $9.5M.

Top 3 forward in the league -- without question -- getting paid like one. Of course Kopitar just got $10 mil AAV, but as we saw with Stamkos (and Hedman), paying no state income taxes.....well, it makes things a bit deceptive. Such an advantage those teams have in contract negotations.

Not a surprise. Texas also doesn't have a state tax, so he's getting a bigger chunk than a guy making $9.5mm in Philly or NY

Did you know Jamie Benn is making $9.5 million and Stamkos $8.5 million....and Voracek is making $8.25 millon?!! Wow. What a terrible contract. I'd leave him available for expansion.

We should trade him for somebody making less.

Seriously. I'd rather they not sign Schenn so long as said event occurs.

It's hot, humid and not hockey season
