nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted September 25, 2019 1 hour ago, ChristopherReevesLegs said: $7 Faulk ---> $4 Gardiner + $3 Edmundson + rookie Bean is a downgrade. If you don't understand that I can't help you. Maybe you think Bean will be better than Faulk somewhere down the road? If that's the case, cool, but for now it's a pretty clear downgrade. They should have. That's my entire point. You can say it as many times as you like. Doesn't change that he's a bottom pair D. Didn't say they don't have a good D core. Said they downgraded it. And I think that was unnecessary. Ok They would have gotten a much better return if the player was under contract. Do you have ADD by chance? They literally saddled themselves with Marleau, which they could have paid to Faulk. Faulk = $4.156 Gardiner = $4.050 Edmundson = $3.100 I'm no math wizard but it sure seems like they're paying more for two worse Dmen. If you include Marleau it's a lot worse. Next year: Faulk = $6.500 Gardiner = $4.050 If you assume Edmundson walks, then the deal now is widdled to Faulk for Bokk. And again the Canes better hope Bokk is a very good player. Don’t know how to make the reply’s all fancy like you guys so this is how you get it - downgrade in your opinion which I disagree with , if you can’t understand that then I can’t help you - they didn’t wanna lock him up longterm , and I wouldn’t have . That’s my point - he was under contract when they made the deal , it’s called a sign and trade which is why bokk was involved in the deal - Faulk was signed for this year , so his new deal would have had nothing to do with marleau trade which only applies to this season so I don’t know why your bringing this up - they’re paying 500 k for an extra body and Faulk and Gardner have similar offensive numbers so I’d say they come out ahead , you don’t and that’s fine . Again Patrick marleau has f*** all to do with this besides adding a #1 pick for next draft , his salary has no bearing on anything - if edmundson walks he walks , I’m sure Carolina signed Gardner to replace Faulk to begin with who’s been on the trade market for a while now, anyways again you don’t like the move that’s all good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So IF they (Mantha and Athanasiou) did put up that sort of production, what sort of contract do YOU think they'd be worth? If they get 70-80 I expect AA to be a handful and get dealt , mantha I can see getting a boeser type deal and landing like 6-7 aav x3 And being a Ufa unless we’re comfortable with him and think he’s part of the future then I don’t think we shouldnt care that Larkin is making 6(we shouldn’t expect anyone to not make over 6 now for the next 4 years)Anne just give him 7/8 x 7/8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again, they didn't need Edmundson either. 12 minutes ago, nyqvististhefuture said: - they didn’t wanna lock him up longterm , and I wouldn’t have . That’s my point Which is fine.

This makes the deal even more sad. If Bokk is all you can get for a $7 million tier Dman, you're making bad deals. 17 minutes ago, nyqvististhefuture said: - they’re paying 500 k for an extra body What? Edmundson + Gardiner is costing them a lot more than Faulk is costing STL this year. If Edmundson walks next year Carolina traded Faulk for Bokk straight up. That's like trading Fowler for Berggren straight up. It's robbery. 19 minutes ago, nyqvististhefuture said: Faulk and Gardner have similar offensive numbers so I’d say they come out ahead Why do you think Faulk just signed a $7 mil long term deal, and Gardiner signed a $4 mil 3 year deal?

LeftWinger 5,129 Report post Posted September 25, 2019 2 hours ago, krsmith17 said: I'm not saying it's unreasonable to project those sort of numbers. They absolutely could get there, but everything would need to go right for all three. I just wanted to know IF they did reach those point totals, what @LeftWinger would think is fair value. He seems to be way off on what market value is in the NHL today... I am way off on market value, I just don't think a player who only has topped 50 points once deserves $7M per year. But again, I am off the market. IF BOTH AA and Mantha topped 70 points, I see no reason why they won't ask for and expect $7M AAV. I'm hoping more for around $5M to $5.5M for each of them.

I'm hoping more for around $5M to $5.5M for each of them. *topped 70 points*. 77 to be exact. Nearly a point per game player as a 20-21 year old... That's a great contract for the Flames, and should only look better over the next few seasons. There's a big difference in a 25 year old putting up that sort of production, especially after never topping 50(55) points in a season previously. I think if either of Mantha or Athanasiou score in the 70 point range, they'll get a contract in the $5.5-6.5M range... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mantha is a beast and it looks like he has figured it out finally. Strong end to the season, real good WC and in preseason he looks as good as before. He is using his real good shot more often and seems to be even stronger than last year. AA is a different type but still a beast in his way. He tears apart defenses in his own way.

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted September 25, 2019 The Canes remind me of the Cats under Gallant. It was Gallant's 2nd year and they won their division after missing the playoffs the year prior (WOW). They made a buncha changes in the off-season and appeared to be a better team on paper. But there was no chemistry and they were dog s***. Gallant got his ass canned quickly. Carolina has lost Williams (their captain) and one of their best defensemen in Faulk (asst captain). And in general have made a buncha changes after a promising year. Watch them be trash WATCH Not NHL news but KHL... McTavish got fired by Lokomotiv after only 8 KHL games already Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
