Vegas has the 10th ranked PP in the playoffs.

Has lost 3 total playoff games.

Cant blame McDavid. There was no way he wasnt getting Paid more than Patrick Kane.
- Larsson_fan

No blame intended.
But the big guys contracts combined with over payments to UFAs is crippling teams.
Lockout is going to have to correct these issues is some form or fashion.

Who really wants to see Vegas win the cup?

Am I a bitter buffalo fan rooting against them?

Anyone else feel this way?

Sharks to offer Kane a “mid to long” term deal.

I could totally see them being a very average team next year and that being a decent pick

- sbroads24


They could push it back to 2020 were it's then locked in. I can see a 2020 SJ pick being top 5.

McDavid is underpaid. Almost every franchise player is. This correction is long overdue.

I'd be surprised if the Sharks let it get that bad. I suspect they'll be heavy players in FA next 2 years.

Quite possible. But I was looking at their barn and what's in the pipeline, and it's empty. after 10+ years of playoffs and selling off their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rounders for rentals, they have no depth. Their core is aging and it might fault next year. If Jumbo Joe retires and Burns starts burning out next season, it's over, their 2020 pick will be a very high pick.

I don’t disagree.

I guess all I’m saying is when McDavid’s cap hit is $12.5 which is ~20% higher than previous high....IMO that is quite the increase....it’s a sold player at $2.5m

Oh well, will be interesting.

First line to the right of center is when it switched from Laurel to Yanni for me. It was still Laurel every spot in between center and that first mark for me.

I assume when you hear what depends on which frequencies you've lost the ability to hear so far in your life.

Generally speaking high freqs are first to go, and it's actually a really good way to tell how old you are. Some kids use high freqs that only they can hear, but their parents can't, for notifications. Some places of business that have a problem with kids hanging out have been caught using speakers that blast those freqs that adults can't hear, but drive the kids crazy so they don't loiter.

I think Timo Meier is the truth and Josh Norris isn't far behind. I agree they'll take a hit as those guys continue to age.

You may be right that it's worth deferring to get the higher pick. If the compete window is open that year, that's a very, very valuable asset.

I think that was only the 4th round pick (would then become a 2020 3rd). If he resigns, it’s a 1st in 2019.

Nope. If he resigns we get SJ 2019 1st, but it's lottery protected. If San Jose misses the playoffs next season the can push it back to 2020, but their 2019 4th they owe us becomes a 2019 3rd.

He's also really the first young franchise player to sign a long term deal under the new CBA. All the others are cap circumventing now.

I never heard it that way before. So you are saying only if they win the lottery they can push it to 2020 ?

Edit: I don’t even see that it’s lottery protected here... nor that they can push the 1st rounder a year... https://www.google.com/am...34asr91hhrkz1sjtyix1x66qw

Edit 2: another site has the lottery protection but still no 2020 1st (unless they win lottery in 2019)
