Hard to believe Danny heatley is only 42 growing up he was my favourite player. It seems like he's been out of the NHL forever. How did he manage to go from a near Ovechkin caliber goal scorer to absolutely atrocious in the span of a few seasons. Did he have the biggest decline in NHL history not including 1 year wonders like Chechoo ( ironically was traded for heatley when I was 9 years old at the time )

Ya, Dany Heatley was quite the mystery. Looked like a 1st ballot Hall of Famer, then looked like he should be in rhe ECHL.
I wonder if mental health got in the way? I'm speculating that this might be the case. With the car accident of Dan Snyder. Although he put up good numbers in Ottawa after the accident. I also remember hearing rumors of substance/ alchol abuse., however I can't verify those either.

There havs been a few guys that went from Stud to Dud, but his was pretty sudden. Should have scored at least 500 goals and been in the Hall.

Holland talked to Puljujarvi about an extension in the 1M’s and Puljujarvi was okay with the money but he thought a fresh start would be better. Makes me think he never asked for a trade. I think a new opportunity is what he wanted but it sounded like it was a hard decision.

McKinnon signing for 12.6M and Pasternak signing for 11.25M shows they didn’t take discounts to stay. They both had no leverage on the their first contracts and probably got what they deserved. This is their critical money making contract that will make 90% of their career earnings and they took full advantage. Now on their next contracts sure I can see them taking less to stay. I believe Nuge did it, Kane potentially, Barrie (who I hope takes less to come back on his next contract) .

The way I look at it if you take a discount as a union man to stay at a specific work site you’re a awful person I don’t care if you have family there. unions are meant to make sure people get what they are deserved and aren’t taken advantage of. Taking a discount is bad for the rest of the NHL because it effects the comparable contracts used by management and in term makes others less money. The owners are billionaires. They can afford to pay the players much more then what they’re paying them for the most part.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree when it comes to these big dollar contracts but when it comes to a veteran who has already made his money I don’t see a problem with it. I just wanted to point out that the people that say McDavid and Matthews and whatever top players should have taken less like McKinnon they’re wrong. Or that Boston has a culture of taking less and Pasternak will do the same were wrong.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Mar 2023 19:40:03
Yeah for sure there is term thrown around in unions for the older members “ he served his time and payed his dues” I think that applys to the tenured vets.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Mar 2023 23:06:39
I also contradict myself a little because I think Campbell would have been smart to take say 4.75M instead of 5M and Nurse 8.75M instead of 9.25M. They would just take way less heat for there play if there salary started with one smaller of a number.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Mar 2023 13:05:05
Who cares about heat realistically. I’ll take the extra half of million to pay for Vegas therapy.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Mar 2023 17:32:06
Edmonton media/ fans play at least a small part of who stay and who goes. Fans hated Justin Schultz, Lucic, half and half on Puljujarvi and they all got moved possibly because of it. I don’t know how these guys value 500K when your making 9M so hard to say but it might be worth it to not get ripped on Twitter all time.

NotACasual while you were one of 3 guys constantly bashing my proposals there were 2 others who did as well that I need to say I told you so to lol.

One of which is TreverA lol

The other I can't quite remember who it was.

Someone irrelevant I guess lol pretty sure they were a Calgary fan though that I made a bragging rights bet or 2 with on which team would finish better in the standings and which teams Top 6 would make a bigger impact between Ottawa and Calgary. That one wasn't you was it? Lol.

Agree1 Disagree0

05 Mar 2023 07:37:14
I don't think I really bash, I'm not as verbal as some on here but I can and if I ever said anything that upset you then yeah I'm sorry. Maybe it's how I word stuff, I'm sorta like that irl too nobody can tell when I'm being serious. I don't remember making a bet with anyone on here so that definitely wasn't me but at the beginning of the season I 100% would've had money on Calgary ahead of Ottawa so I would've been wrong regardless lol. I was just heated cause you must've got me mixed up with someone else cause I never said what it was that you think I said.

Agree1 Disagree0

05 Mar 2023 07:37:57
I can confidently say that you got me mixed up with someone else but if i did indeed say the things you claim then i am sorry.

Agree1 Disagree0

07 Mar 2023 19:20:22
All good, I likely did get you mixed up with someone else. It has been a few months since I actually posted anything on here to be quite honest. So I do apologize for the confusion.

Watching all these trades and all the potential playoff teams improving their teams. While the Winnipeg Jets sit idle. Mind blowing. They have a the cap space, draft picks, prospects to make something happen. To really improve this team so they could make a good push in the playoffs. But all Chevy did was acquire Niederreiter. Good player but someone needs to wake Chevy up time is running out. Or it's time for him to go.
Almost all the players that I heard the Jets were linked to have traded already.
And if they keep playing the way they are. They may not even make the playoffs.
Thoughts????

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Mar 2023 01:11:40
Who should’ve they been after?

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Mar 2023 16:15:26
The Jets should have traded for Schenn and made a move to get Meier.
Once again the Jets didn't make a move to really improve their team for the playoffs.
I have always been a Chevy supporter but now I question why doesn't he make some big moves that not only strengthen the team on the ice but send a message to the players they are going to have an improved roster for the playoffs.
Draft and develop and don't play the kids philosophy doesn't improve the Jets, even if they make the playoffs.
What a mess.

Agree2 Disagree0

10 Mar 2023 20:22:48
I agree with you Islandjet. Meier and Schenn would’ve been great additions. Definitely would have helped both get in the playoffs and in the playoffs.
If by chance they don’t make the playoffs or again loose out in the first round again. Chevy has to go. Possibly Bowness goes too. Sad to say maybe it’ll be time to hit the reset button. Hire another GM (Laurence Gilman) Hire a younger coach, new ideas. (Spencer Carbery) . Do a rebuild. This organization is a huge mess. Lead by someone who is scared to do anything.

What a Leaf Day so far.

Leafs Going
Sandin (Washington)
Engvall (NYIslanders)
3rd Round Pick (Vancouver)

Leafs Incoming
Gustafsson (Washington)
LSchenn (Vancouver)
1st Round Pick 2023 (Boston's Pick)
3rd Round Pick 2024 (NYIslanders)

All I can say is my thorn on here Chickenfoot, didn't I say Dubas was going to do big things ?
More to come by THE GENIUS Dubas.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Mar 2023 12:47:53
In 2 weeks he has brought in O’Rielly, McCabe, Acciari, Lafferty, Schenn, Gustafsson and recovered a 1st rounder…. lost only Sandin, Engvall and Joey Anderson off the NHL roster, has chicago paying 50% of McCabe for 2 more seasons AND actually gained cap space over that period.

I honestly don’t know anyone else that would have or could have done that. If they don’t extend him, where do you go looking for a replacement GM that’s an upgrade? I wouldn’t wanna be the guy who has to find it. And if you don’t keep Dubas around, does Brandon Pridham, their cap expert, stay? Or does he go with Dubas?

I think it’ll be a big mistake to not extend Dubas regardless of what happens in the first round. He’s done his job at an elite level. It’s up to the players to do theirs now.

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Feb 2023 18:50:40
Like I said. Told you guys P.Kane wouldn't land a 1st round pick.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Feb 2023 21:33:22
But you also told us Toews was out with the sniffles and would be back in the lineup 2 weeks ago. 😉

Still a respectable .500 batting average though.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Feb 2023 21:45:40
Although there are conditions where the 2nd can become a 1st.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Mar 2023 12:48:34
Honestly those conditions are obtainable but they still got to win round 1 then they play against an absolute Juggernaut in the Hurricanes.

I don’t know I feel like the hurricanes beat the Rangers in round 2. It will be a great matchup tho.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Feb 2023 00:34:05
Hey NotACasual I thought the Sens needed to give away 2 1sts to move Zaitsevs contract? Lmfao guess I was right again and you were wrong as always huh pal? 😆.

Agree3 Disagree1

28 Feb 2023 16:29:29
You're clearly a troll because i've never said that, so i typed in Zaitsev in the search bar and what i said was
28 Dec 2022 16:56:50
so a 1st, cap dump, 2 alright prospects, potential criminal and a bottom 6 forward for an elite young playmaker and Top 4 D? Lol

NotACasual

in response to you trying to package Zaitsev along with Boucher, Jarventie, Formenton, Joseph and a 1st to get Zegras and Klingberg. Never mentioned anything about two 1sts, idk why you feel the need to lie and idk what i did to live rent free in your head. i also don't recall a time "i was wrong" and you were right lmao wtf are you on about ? Idk why you'd lie to make yourself look good and me look bad while knowing this site has receipts to easily debunk your claim lmao

Agree2 Disagree2

28 Feb 2023 16:35:17
Also if you wanna see how i valued Zaitsev, here's a trade i posted in Aug 2022, idk where you see the 2 1sts on here.

08 Aug 2022 10:18:20
To Ottawa Senators :
LD/RD - Jakob Chychrun (4.60 @ 3 UFA)

to Arizona Coyotes :
1st Round Pick - 2023 (OTT)
C - Shane Pinto (ELC)
RD - Jacob Bernard-Docker (ELC)
RD - Nikita Zaistev (4.50 @ 2 UFA)

if you can show me proof that i said that then ill take back what i said but from what i can see ive never said anything nor found a time that i was wrong and you were right supposedly lmao i know spending valentines day alone mustve been tough lil bro

Agree2 Disagree3

01 Mar 2023 22:56:15
That's not the previous comment you made that I was referring too. I'm not going to waste my time looking it up, you're free to if you like, but the one I was referring to was where you and I were debating Zaitsevs value on his own no package. I said Sens could dump his full contract for a 2nd, and you said it would at least take a 1st or big cap retention because of his negative value lol. Neither of which were needed like I said.

Also, would you look at that Chychrun deal? All the proposals I made that you and your buddies kept laughing at and saying was nowhere near enough for Chychrun lol and I said was a massive overpayment lol and here sens get him for much less as expected. Not only that but Top 5 protection on the 1st, and no need for Sanderson, Pinto, or Grieg to be involved at all.

Do I need to keep saying I told you so? Lmfao.

Agree2 Disagree0

02 Mar 2023 04:12:17
Go ahead and look for where i said that, because you know you're making stuff up lmao. Also me and my buddies? I don't know anybody on here, why are you on here double liking your replies from this account and your burner lool. Literally nobody thinks that Chychrun was good, use Ekholm and Jeannot as examples. Idk why you're being a clown coming at me, if you cant take criticism then why are on you this site? must've had a good cry when i supposedly disagreed with your value of Chychrun lmao

Agree0 Disagree1

02 Mar 2023 04:15:26
Go look for it instead of crying lmao must've been real hurt if you remember when i supposedly said that and waited for it to happen to say something lmao, ill admit im wrong if you find me saying it cause i genuinely don't remember.

Agree0 Disagree1

02 Mar 2023 04:29:41
edit : *nobody thinks that the Chychrun trade was good* Arizona got robbed

Agree0 Disagree1

03 Mar 2023 00:38:00
Also even your previous post within this thread proves my case for me.

You know, the one about adding 2 quality prospects like Docker and Pinto if sens hope to move Zaitsev in the deal? Lmfao you bit yourself in the foot in that one lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Mar 2023 02:43:23
Move the goal posts some more you cry baby lmao still haven't provided proof that i said that, cry harder

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Mar 2023 14:57:10
You said it would take a 3rd to move Zaitsev not a 2nd so you actually lied about that. Crazy how some posters spin the facts. Don’t waste your time with this guy casual.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Feb 2023 05:17:33
Will there be anyone left to be traded, come deadline day? Could be a long day for all the panelists.

Agree1 Disagree0

27 Feb 2023 18:50:41
