Can jump in here and there but not on the regular. His career proves that. Edited June 28 by Dr. Crossbar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertKBD Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Just now, Slegr said: How would Toronto afford him? Unless they can dump Marner for nothing but draft capital? That's Toronto's problem. The bottom line is, I do not want Zadorov coming into our barn and slamming our stars into next week every couple of weeks. FTR: I think Marner is good enough that someone will take him with little, or no retention. Utah, maybe.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) 4 minutes ago, RupertKBD said: If we thought Petey and Huggy got bullied during the playoffs, just wait until they have to face Z on a regular basis.... Exactly. I remember seeing Hughes getting hit and slumping over to the bench and thinking that the Canucks needed to show some pushback. Within a couple of shifts I see Josi get stapled to the boards by Zadorov, and wince in pain. It was that subtle (not so subtle) game of tit for tat that helped the Canucks maneuver through that series. Zadorov knows the tendencies of those two, and especially how to get Pettersson off of his game. Edited June 28 by PhillipBlunt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s all good, we got Myers Wait, you mean a player played above his career average during the final moments of a contract year?! That never happens, I'm shocked. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris12345 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 17 minutes ago, KesLord said: Zadorov is pulling an Ehrhoff and going for the most $$ long term. Not sure if he really cares about winning a cup, he just wants to make the most amount of $$ possible. I bet you he will be going to one of the bottom 10 teams for too much money. Chicago, Montreal, or Columbus for 6.5M x 6 years Most guys priortize money or they'd sign for league min 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German Canuck Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 1 hour ago, RolexSub said: Benning was dishing out big contracts and the players did not meet their expectations. I am ok paying the big price but I don't see how Guentzel is worth over $11M per year!! That is all I am saying and you are telling me I won't be a successful GM. You can't be over paying every player that has hit 40 goals 2x's in their 9yr career. That is all I am saying. There are alternatives that comes at a lower price. Over 11M per year? Where does this number come from? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook007 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Starting to look a bit like the Horvat trade... folks here are losing their shit, while having zero knowledge of the plan forward... I worked out fine with the Horvat trade that turned into Hronek... We all loved Zad, but the entire front office has spent the last 4 weeks with the numbers, and how to move forward... The need space for the OEL cap retention and they need money to extend Brock and Demko... This is the reality... I think its fair to wait and see, what they come up with, as they've earned the right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kirk Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Personally i would have given some of the money they gave Myers and added it to Zad's contract, he really brings more to the table, especially in the playoffs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pianoman Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 2 hours ago, Conscience said: Take .5 from myers .25 from hronek and 1.25 from pete and you get 2 mill I don’t think any of those players are overpaid. Pettersson is projected to provide 11.9 million in value over the course of 8 years, 300k above his contract. Meyers at 3million is only 250k above scheme and Lybushkin last year, and 1m less than Gudbranson. There is no way that is an overpayment. Same with Hronek, many people were saying it would be starting with an 8. Calling a signing an ‘overpayment’ doesn’t just make it so. Look at comparables around the league, they are all great signings. By your mentality, just take 250k off every contract, and suddenly we have a spare 5 million in cap! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do whatever he tells them to. There is no doubt in me mind that was the case with Zadorov. He like it here and that couldn't have been more obvious. He had no say in the matter and Alvin probably didn't either. I suppose there could have been some residual effect with Milkiev being let go.
