Untouchables :

Tuch
Tage
Dahlin
Peterka
Levi

This team is severely devoid of team leader...a guy others will get behind and play their ass off for.
As a result, the roster seems to be ruderless.

Translation - there isn't a single asset that is Untouchable, absolutely none.

Yeah, for a guy like McDavid ……

Depends on the trade options imo

In other words, he cut a deal so his execution for his crimes committed against humanity will be done in vain with his reputation still somewhat intact.

Sort by team, position, and you’ll find Trouba ranking dead last in Rangers d-men in any statistic worth a crap.

Not wasting any more time or ink then I already have

They need their Mark Messier, Bobby Clark, Bryan Trottier, even Michael Pecca leader. He isn't in the system yet.
Gotta give to get.
Non one soul on the team is Untouchable for that guy.

No real opinion on this one, but had to look:

xGF%
Gustafsson 54.95
Fox 53.62
Schneider 51.96
Miller 48.21
Trouba 47.81
Lindgren 45.23

Would be better than Clifton. Not a ringing endorsement.

Yes- it’s true.. I’m not a fan of Owen Power. What I am less a fan of is our rink manager turned GM handing out long term contracts at grossly inflated salaries. I’ve said from day one the Power should be signed to a bridge contract until he proves he’s worthy of what he is currently getting. Some - like yourself will say he would cost more in 2-3 years from now. I say nonsense. Same with the Thompson contract, Cozens contract, Samuelsson contract, Dahlin contract…Adams signed all these guys to deals they never deserved. Show me one recently signed contract that looks like a bargain or even break even… you’ll be looking for a while

When did Tage deserve his new deal?

Or has he not proven he deserved it yet?

He deserved that deal last year.
Problem is he is producing at what 33%, 50% of that. If he hung another 90 pts on the board, it would be very acceptable.

Hasn't though.
Same with Cozens
Same with Dahlin
Same with Power

If Tage signed his deal after last season, when he had 47 goals and 47 assists, what AAV do you think he was getting?

How far north of $7M would it have been?

If he goes for 40 and 30, he's worth at least $7M.

45 and 45 is worth much, much more then a $7M AAV.

I see your point, and it’s a good point

You’re talking all time greats, we barely have a current all time “good” player

Adams definitely hit on tage’s deal a year early

It would be 10million after last seasons 94 points

The question is: who cut him this deal? The free masons or the reptilians?
