I was also happy to hear that he's going to place the assistants in their proper places, as in "Matt Ellis will not be on my bench"
- Powerslave

I badly wanted to hear names, even though I knew we wouldn't. But it sounds like he'll have a new bench. At least almost.

This org loves Kotyk and Bales.

Somewhat for sure. Moreso that I admire his moxy and leadership as a way to mentor the young guys. Not because he was Buffalo, but because of those attributes and how he played the game... Not so much who he played for.

That's fair. I think there's a lot of guys in coaching who share the qualities of Pecs.

Jay McKee is out there. It's usually the guys who were all effort, all the time who make the best coaches.

So we'll wait and see and then we can talk about the merits of the people he hires.

The Blues' EVD improved under Weber. But I'm not hearing anyone demand his return.

Bring back Weber

I am talking about Patrick Kane

Don't care who wants to come back, as long as there the right player or player's that make the TEAM better. That's all that should matter, No more blowing your Buddy and bringing his son here.

Cough cough stillman.

Yeah and no more 1 year plug in play players.

Also the old veteran player that is past their prime. No more of those Erik Johnsons. Waste of roster spot and cap space

(On paper, I get it but on the ice I don’t)

what's a Z job

If you have to ask, you can't afford it

Guess we see where it goes, next step is Assistant Coaches and build from there. Think UPL is close to a deal.

3 years 15 mill. That’s the most I would do

This. This is the man to bring us home.

Better be sure with Levi here, that's a lot of Cake for 3 1/2 months. Just something I was told, not a for sore thing!
1 yr 3.25 mill Avv
3 yr 4.25 mill Avv
Supposedly is on the table or has been discussed.

Try 3x3.5
- TheSabresTaco

Don't see why they'd go 3 years, but the $ is about right.

I'd do 1 year $3m as a bridge, as 2 will take him to UFA land.
He can then get a new deal next season. If he performed well, lock him up for 4 or 5 years.

- TheSabresTaco

😂 😂

Rams piss better be a part of training camp

Try 3x3.5
- TheSabresTaco

I would love that. I think UPLs agents argument will be from January on numbers

I know from time to time Meier is brought up


Devils announce that Timo has undergone elective arthroscopic shoulder surgery and is expected to be fully recovered for training camp. He also had double MCL injuries and an oblique injury throughout the year

Try 3x3.5

Georgiev got 3.4 for his deal with similar numbers with the rangers

problem is that deal was during covid when cap was going down

whatever that number is with a rising cap is 6k's number

probably around 4.3 per on a 2 or 3 year deal

Haven't looked all that hard into comps, but Stuart Skinner got 3x2.6 coming off a 2.75 .914. Obviously low.

Don't think he has a good case for more than 4, but KA hasn't shown that he's very good at this.
