Man this city feel in love overnight with tuch
Meir is a better clone
If you could get him signed before trade
I am paying cost

Smart man.
He's a good package.

If he would take say ~$8m, that would great. Probably demand $9m.
But I also want to retain more Picks and Prospects, so willing to pay a higher salary for this type of player.

They have another (weird good) factor to weigh few other teams do: what % of their fan base want to watch Sid, Geno and Letang ride it out until retirement as Pens? 3 cups is 3 cups. There's a level of good will there we just know nothing about .

That's a good point. However, at what point does good will run out? That team hasn't sniffed playoff success since 2017 cup win. One series win since then, and that was 2018. How long does the good will last? There is always the old saying: if you're in the middle, you're nowhere.

You can't win in this league with a core way over 30. They should have blown it up.
- Slump Buster

Sure you can.

The Red Wings won a cup with Lidstrom at 37, Hasek at 43, Datsyuk at 30, Chelios at 46, Rafalski at 34.

They just have to be good

It was a waaaaaaay different league back then. It's a young man's league now. I am trying to think of the last time a truly veteran team won.

Boston is as of now cup favorites and their two best players are 37 and 34 years old

Edit- Krejci is 36, Taylor Hall is 31

Very true, but they haven't won anything. They also only have 2 playoff round wins in the last 3 years.

They’re going to coast to the presidents trophy. You don’t think they have a shot at the cup because they’re too old?

This might only get dunked on ever so slightly on Twitter 😆😂😅

JJ Peterka, Sabres 2023 1st, Knights 2023 2nd (through BUF) for Kane?

If YOU were Patrick Kane, wouldn’t this make sense?

I don't think it's going to be Adam's style to build a team culture, get guys to sign very fair deals to us then trade for a dude and pay them more then those guys.

I am thinking he does a good but unspectacular move, to not deviate from his vision but show the guys that he believes in them. Maybe two 2nds for a dude. You can get a decent player nowadays for that cost

Hawks fan here. That would be a great return but whoever wrote that is dreaming. Here's some other info on the Kane situation if you haven't read it.

He's going to want at least 9 a year, that is what's making them nervous as well as the asking price.



For your reading pleasure......... Jack Eichel 1 point in the last 9 games.
