Ok. I'd pick Datsyuk over Nielsen. Based on the translation factor Dastyuk would have had roughly 30 pts in just 50 games in the NHL this year, or 47 over 82 if he played. That's a helluva lot better than 25 pts out of Nielsen in 82. Plus Datsyuk hits our books for about 1 to 1.5 whereas Nielsen hits it for 5+.

oooo fiesty That wasn't the question though. So I'll ask it a third time. Who would you rather play in the lineup. Datsyuk or any of those 3?

Do you have a kiss for daddy?

How many 41 year olds do you expect to play a full NHL season?

Screeeeeeeeeeched starring Dustin "Dirty Sanchez" Diamond And you didn't answer it, you complained about their contracts Who would rather play in your lineup? Datsyuk or any three of them?

Didn't Screech also do porn later in life?

From the Athletic article about Holland stepping aside for Yzerman With all the Yzerman hype, appreciation for Holland kinda got lost in the shuffle. Thanks for stepping aside for Stevie Ken, and for the last 20+ years of Wings hockey. I get the feeling Ken isn't going to Seattle after reading this bit from the Athletic...

Like if Yzerman reaches down and nabs Kaliyev or Afanasyev do we freakout and break stuff? Or do we trust that Yzerman is midas?

They're gonna have like close to 20 mil to spend if Luongo retires... IDK but I hate them a little more with that logo. The old one was so cool.

Why is Rask dressed as a french maid? And I can't tell if that is a mask or Chara's natural face

And still totally fuego At least 3 mil AAV probs

Rags gotta pay Buchnevich, DeAngelo, Pionk, Fox, and Lemeiux yet If they wanna pursue big names they're gonna have to trade our buyout some bigger contracts. Do they get cap relief if they waive Smith again??

Yeah everyone around lottery time was saying "I'd almost rather pick 2nd than 1st so I wouldn't have to choose between Hughes and Kakko". I'm starting to think 3rd is an even worse spot to be in in that regard, because after the top 2 it's a completely open playing field. I feel very comfortable at 6. A great player is going to fall to us regardless of what happens and it probably won't have to be a huge debate for us.

Like Datsyuk has never played in the NHL before.... No one's expecting him to play 82 games either dumb guy Datsyuk lost fire and didn't give a s***? does anyone else honestly believe this lol? Troll harder Bad trolling is bad

LGW: What'd you think of bringing back Datsyuk? Dickie: I think Abby and Helms contracts suck LGW: .....

So Calgary is gonna have roughly $7 million to spend on re-signing Rittich, Bennett, and Tkachuk, assuming that they drop Mike Smith or re-sign him for cheap cheap. That's also assuming they fall back on Rittich and don't go goalie shopping, which would lower that $7 mill. They might be worse off than the Caps... I assume Rittich can prolly get at least $2 mill, Bennett $2 mill, and Tkachuk $6 mill. I honestly don't think they'll trade a young Dman. I think they'll try to off load an older more expensive guy on their D core, or James Neal and give away picks with him. That would free them up to get their young ones under contract and also solidify the net which they really need.

Found another photo from the same fan, based on this I think he/she is actually gender-less, which is totally a thing

Another one to look at is San Jose. They still have to re-sign a lottttttttt of players. Even if Jumbo Joe retires it could get messy there.

Woah buddy, I'm not asking your opinion of their contracts or even them, I'm asking if you would prefer Datsyuk to them? I certainly would.

Going into the summer we know Tampa will be in Cap Hell and we could possibly take on an old Callahan + picks But what about the Washington Capitals? They might be in a worse cap situation. They will enter the summer with a $70 mil cap hit. With the cap going up to $83 mil that will give them roughly $13 million in cap space to make moves. Here are the big players they have to re-sign: Burakovsky - Should command at least $2 Connolly - Should command at least $3 Vrana - Should command at least $4 Djoos - Should command at least $2 I think I'm being very conservative with those numbers too They will also have around 5 other roster spots (not counting the sports from the players I listed) to fill which should constitute about another $5 mill in player contracts. So they should have around $8 mill to re-sign those 4 players and I'm guessing at least 1 gets forced out. Could be Connolly because he's the only UFA, the other one I'm guessing it might be is Burakovsky since he had a down year by his standards. I'm not overly interested in any of them, but maybe Yzerman could make strike a deal for one to ease their cap issues before FA.

Rather have that than Abby's 82 games with 20 points, or Helms 82 with 30 pts, or Nielsen's 82 with 35 points, etc etc. Would you rather play those guys?

Ur old

I love Glendening as a C too much It's all media. I think he's much more likely to sign with Yekaterinburg as Swede bro and Bobfather suggested

More from Milstein and MLive Sounds like Khan thinks Datsyuk would take over 2nd line C role. Could actually be a nice fit until Veleno is ready.
