uh, i feel like there's ways to show faith in a player without giving them a 7 year contract after their rookie year - like offering them a contract, of any length, in the first place.

there's only about 25 players in the entire NHL with contracts longer than 7 years and their names are weber, parise, suter, ovechkin, crosby, malkin etc.

how many times have we seen rookies shine, ESPECIALLY defensemen, and then subsequently fade and settle in as average or slightly above average players? it happens a lot. the term of this deal is foolish no matter how you slice it.

Ya, 7 years is ridiculous. Give him a fair 2 year deal to prove he's worth the long-term investment. You bridge players who weren't highly touted elite prospects from the start to be safe.

the 7 yrs are probably what made the deal worthy for the Stars

Mik is gonna have to make some choices this offseason. He is already up against the cap and bobrovsky, Ribby, klingberg all getting decent raises.

Mik, I'll give you a 2nd for ribeiro. Old guy on an upcoming big contract who beats nannies. So, you're welcome. :-)



In some good news for Mik, This Darling fella is gonna steal Crawfords job is Crawford cant get his shit together. Chicago is gonna have to make some cap space this offseason...






And shutup. I know they wont trade Crawford.

Jarret Stoll arrested for possession of cocaine and MDMA. The Kings are really taking their strong possession game to the next level.

I hope he spirals downwards into a pit of despair, opening up a roster spot for future bottom 6 stud Justin Auger!

He was potentially a cap casualty anyway...this is just going to make him finding a new gig a little trickier.
