Dougall Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Was hoping beyond hope for a Leafs trade. Ahhh...pipe dreams... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salros Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 The percentage of players heading north of 8 million a season is growing quickly. OEL definitely deserves it. Locking up a 27 years old top pairing defensemen for 8 years should work out great for the Coyotes. If Raanta can play next season like he did during the last couple of months of this season and the offense keeps improving, Arizona could finally become a contender. Having a success in Las Vegas should help silent the Arizona haters that say you can't build a Stanley Cup team in the desert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill0755 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Nice deal for a top defenseman for Arizona. From a pure Capwise perspective I am not really sure I would invest 8 years and $8m on OEL was rated at the 34th best defenseman in Fantrax. Pretty sure there here are better value options the OEL from a pure fantasy perspective. Thoughts..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do feel he has the potential to be worth that contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salros Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 At this moment, I'm planning on keeping him. If he keeps shooting, the powerplay success improves and he becomes a positive in the +/- category, his 8 million will seem reasonable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I would assume Evander Kane @ $7M is a pretty decent value too, as he does offer a very broad fantasy stats pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kane has found some peace of mind in SJ, he will be a great player to own in the CHA for many seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) both are good Hold I think. I see kane as similar Prime Lucic , 50 pts player could dangle around 30g and hover around 60pts a few season also.

Zipper Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 If he gets back to his 2015-2016 numbers it's a great deal for CHA owners. And if Arizona improves then his +/- and his PP numbers should come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
