Yzeman will bring in at least one free agent dman this summer. Also we will see more 2 year deals I think.

I was referring to his competition. If you look at other rosters, year by year, there were goalies who ended up with careers more worthy of HOF induction during Vernon's career. I dont think he was among the best, despite having good numbers when he was playing for better teams. HOF induction should be about the entire career, and I think there were better goalies during that time that aren't in.

Couple of lopsided trades today.

He also played for the best team in the league that year. There are Vezina winners who dont belong in the Hall.

You arent very good at Yo Mama jokes Scott, but you keep trying. Atta boy.

fake news

Chick-Fil-A, Hobby Lobby and My Pillow too.

It's really because they don't want players refusing to wear jerseys with ads.

Howard > Vernon

Datsyuk

Zadina

We all know why they did this.

Is Griess available? Any German hated by his own country sounds amazing.

Goalies have up and down years. Several goalies most people have never heard of have Vezinas. Vernon was a good, but not elite goalie. Only elite goalies should get in. Putting him at the same level as Roy, Brodeur, Hasek is a joke. He was never that good. Vernon's 2 Cups were with a President's Trophy winner in 89 and a 97 Wings team who. despite being a 3 seed, were a more rounded team than their previous 2 1 seeds. Goalies make up a greater percentage of Hall of Famers than they do NHL rosters. They are well represented.

Pick any random season during Vernon's career. Make a list of the top 5 goalies in the NHL at that time. If Vernon isn't there (and he wouldn't be) he doesn't belong in the HOF.

You'd be getting fleeced.

Why are you again after a high priced, unnecessary goalie? We have Husso, who is at least fine for now, and Cossa in a few seasons. Unless either of those 2 don't play well enough, there is zero reason to blow cap space on another goalie. Either way, that problem is at least 2 seasons down the road. Philly What? He has put together quite a few good seasons, and has every right to use what leverage he has.

He is not getting 9 mil in arbitration.

I would want to be traded to HF Boards cuz this place sucks.

If Ottawa was going to sign him for that, they would have already done it. Arbitration has been filed. So either they trade him before, or they agree to the ruling, which will be way less than 9.

Debrincat is going to arbitration. He most likely will end up on a 1 year deal. Ottawa isn't going to get a lot for a player that everyone knows is going to be a UFA next summer. It might take more than Zadina and a 2nd, but not much.

No Scott. Debrincat has eclipsed 60 points 3 times in his 6 year career. 70 points twice. Nyquist has never broken 60 points in his entire 9 year career. Debrincat is already better than Nyquist EVER was.

You will take one Filip Zadina and #41 and you will thank the Yzer-Man for the privilege of doing business. Montreal trade is too complicated and unnecessary. SJ would not retain 50% AND swap picks. If SY wants #4 he will have to take Karlsson at a $4 mil discount, which is like 1/3 salary retention and #9.

That's why there is usually salary retention in those situations.

You're right. He's 8.7 good.
