Holy fuck that’s a steal for the Oilers at that price. Dude was a menace against us in the final
This is the right take imo. It sucks no doubt, but it’s the GM’s job to help the team win and he felt like there were other options that would make them better and executed on it. Fwiw I would not want my team giving Stamkos that kind of deal at this stage in his career but I’m not an NHL GM for a reason. I can understand why Bolts fans are upset with the situation after all Stamkos has overcome and accomplished there. Just a tough business sometimes
Really want him back if his ask is reasonable. We have about $9M in cap space not counting a Lundell deal. Would like to think we can still bring back Vladdy and grab a quality depth defensemen or possibly two.
Loved him too. But $2M is a lot to pay a 4th liner and him and Lomberg both got that. I trust Zito and the FO to find good replacement for cheaper
To be fair, a lot of the guys on this years team drew that same reaction when they left their last team.
He will. We just have to be patient
Kuli is awesome. So pumped to have him back with term
Slavin and Forsling might be the two best contracts in all of hockey right now. Either true defensive defensemen are criminally undervalued are those two are just team first guys
No doubt they will get that done soon
They’re acting like there aren’t teams that would have offered him over $9M which would offset the tax advantage but he wanted to stay here instead of going to their shithole team. That doesn’t fit their narrative though
Would be weird to see him go after that lol…but this is what happens when you win a cup. Other teams overpay for your depth. He’s earned a raise and I’ll always root for him
Damn. Knew we wouldn’t be able to keep this exact group together but OEL and Lomberg in the span of 30 minutes. This sucks. I completely trust Zito to find great replacements for these guys, but just sucks to see them go.
Damn. I was skeptical when we signed him but he quickly became one of my favorite players on this year’s team. Loved having him here but he has earned a raise and term. Will be rooting for him, someone is getting a great player.
I’m not panicking yet but this is definitely interesting. Taking a lot longer than I thought it would.
This what I was wondering too…
Penguins did the right thing. They knew they weren’t going to bring him back so they went out and got what they could for him. I can understand why canes fans are upset tho
I might be dumb but the second half of this headline gave me a stroke
It ain’t that deep buddy
Leafs fan lecturing us on how to be champions is so funny
Also he’s American buddy
Calling someone soft but crying about a silly little chirp😂😂😂
Why? This is a great move assuming the AAV is low. Boston probably would have liked to keep him but they paid Lindholm and Zadorov. We needed more speed and he brings that to us. Should be a great fit
We have agreed to terms with forward Jesper Boqvist on a one-year contract!
