Kramerica Industries Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 So, at least now there's a market established for Steven Stamkos next contract. This will be fun to think about from now until when if he signs an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 That's interesting. The construction of the Devils this year looked for all the world to me like a team built to maybe make the playoffs and prove to Schneider that he should stay. I didn't think they'd lock him up this soon. Good that they got him signed. Meanwhile, the Canucks are probably going to loan Jacob Markstrom to a nice farm in the country where he can be with other Jacob Markstroms, so that means they'll have turned Luongo and Schneider into Bo Horvat and Shawn Matthias.

TorinK92 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Apparently, Sens fans have been finding reasons to be optimistic about next season, after all, we might not have the best team in the conference but we have some good young players and a few very skilled veterans, the team could look something like this for next season.MacArthur - Turris - RyanMichalek - Zibanejad - ChiassonHoffman - Legwand - StoneGreening - Smith - CondraNeilKarlsson - MethotCeci - CowenPhillips - GrybaBorowiecki - WeirciochAndersonLehnerI mean, to actually be competitive we would have to get one more proven defensive d-man other than Methot, and probably experiment with that 4th line and see about playing Lazar for 9 games next season in the position taken up by greening. Of course, losing our entire first line didn't help either. It'll probably be another season where the backup goalie, whoever that may turn out to be, plays 35+ games again.Overall, I don't think we're as screwed as some people say we are for next season, we may just head through the season as a bubble team. But we'll really need the young guns to step up, and to have great years from MacArthur and Ryan alike. I would definitely place my trust in Turris as a #1 C.

charger77 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Are these deals that bad? The don't go into effect until 2015-2016, the cap is sure to rise by then right? PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Not enough to keep Seabrook and Sharp around, especially with big questions about the Canadian dollar taking a tumble. They're the first eight-figure cap hits, so of course they look horrible now, but might look better down the line. Getzlaf and Perry look like bargains now. Toews and Kane will look like bargains compared to Stamkos and Kopitar. And then we'll have another lockout.

The Six Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Looks like an equal deal compared to Perry and Getzlaf to me. Kane and Toews are both younger and have actually led their team to win something. The extra 5 mill (I think) seems about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still MIGHTY Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I like the signing. 1-year, $1M. Absolutely no risk, and a pretty high reward. Scored 12 goals on a Minnesota team that doesn't exactly push the pace, and you can stick him next to some top talent in Getzlaf/Perry/Kesler in a Boudreau system. I'll almost guarantee more than 12 goals. And plus he's probably going to assume the role that Teemu performed from a line-up standpoint, and Teemu only had 9 goals last year.Nice secondary scoring signing.
