But it should still only be available to high end -top tern contracts
-
Nevermind. I fucked up the concept now that I read it over.
-
I could see that a lot more young players would be getting top dollar on their entry level contract in hopes of utilizing this strategy.
I would hope it would only be effective for max term and high value extensions.

Canadiens Draft
Grade: B- :
R1 P5 - David Reinbacher - As it stands Reinbacher is a hell of a player. Big and physical while remaining fluid and quick on his feet. Any team should be happy to have hi in their system. With an abundance of young talented D-men in the ranks , Ghule , Mailloux , Hutson , Harris , Barron , Xhekaj to name a few. The question by the Habs faithful is WTF? with Michkov drawing comparison to Bedard as a 1-B type pick and the obvious holes in the Habs scoring ability we are left to wonder what exactly the plan is in the front office.
R1 P31 and R2 P37 - were traded for Alex Newhook a former 16th overall pick from the 2019 Entry draft. Smaller in stature with a ton of potential the last thing the habs fans wanted was another small forward. With 2 covid years stymying his development as well as a stacked Avalanche roster Newhook has not impressed as much as some would have liked. Staring at he numbers this Habs man has come to the consensus that Newhook needs more TOI. Every time he passed the 15 minute mark good things seemed to happen for this young man last season. So here's to hoping he flourishes in a new environment where there are spots to be won.
R3 P69 - Jacob Fowler - A 6'2" goalie from the Youngstown Phantoms of the USHL he had a heck of a season and took home the hardware winning the Clark Cup while posting a astonishing 8-1 record with a .952 SV% and a 1.36 GAA. His height and weight ( 223 lbs) are a little concerning by NHL standards but this is a solid 3rd round pick.
R4 P101 - Florian Xhekaj - Little brother to habs heavyweight Arber this was a smooth move by the habs to take care of their own. Arber will die for his team and the Habs just showed him they will take care of him. Good luck to Florian
Canadiens Free agency
Grade: B
Cole Caufield - locked and loaded for 8 years at 22 years old at an AAV of 7.85 is a beauty .
Raphael Harvey Pinard - 2 x 1.1 mill. Utter genius . after 20 points in 34 games the little engine that could this signing was great.
Sean Monahan - 1 x 1.985 is a great signing. Hopefully Monahan can put his injury woes behind him and show us he's worth another 2 year contract after this.
Lias Anderssen - another pure genius move. Hopefully this kid is a late bloomer. The former 7th overall pick has never really spread his wings but was also never really given the opportunity to shine on the Rangers and Kings. Depth at center and a tendency to bring the young bucks along slowly, marred by a couple of Covid years really put the brakes on this young mans path. He had 59 points in 67 games for the Ontario Reign in the AHL last year. He will look good in a Rockets uniform or the big clubs CH.
Michael Pezzetta - @ year league minimum for the flow. I'd do it. Not afraid to step up for his teammates and with a wicked hairdo Pezzetta is the kind of guy you want near the team right now.
Most of all this off season we didn't see the Habs make any rash decisions. We let Drouin and Gurianov walk. Paul Byron and Karl Alzner are off the books. Newhook and Anderssen are in and at 1 time these guys would have been considered two out of three on the second line prospects. I'm content with the habs moves. It wasn't time for the big splash.
We're all a little disappointed we won't see Michkov in the CH but only time will tell how that plays out.
We also moved on from Edmundson and gave some room to our young guns. This team is on the right path, it may just be a Long and Winding Road rather than a short crossing of Abbey road.
Don't ask why I threw that in there.

Lee you swear too much. And you're some kinda fluke.
Lance I ordered an abacus off amazon for you. And a ball.
Randy good job on Dineen man, I was stumped.
What fluke?
It's purely scientific deduction.
Can you admit that your brother and cousin are playing in the grey areas ?

OK regarding the Binnington vs. Jarry vs. Vanecek conversation... the important piece of information that you didn't consider is average deviation. In head-to-head, a goalie's predictability is almost as important as the actual tracked stats. So if you look at how much, on average, Binnington performs better or worse than his average, you can judge his inconsistency...
That inconsistency can kill you in a matchup...
Like the week I got 2 shutouts from Jones and Kuemper shit the bed hard so I lost GAA and SV% cats. that week.
I don't like this deviation business. WIns and SVs. is the answer to goalies. More come from more games played if you're not a goalie for Chicago.
The other 2 stats are crap shoots. Only a few goalies are predictable and consistent and it has to do with the team in front of them. But then a guy like Markstrom fucks that theory.
Wins and SV's will win you more weeks than GAA and SV%.
Suppression by sheer volume.
Too many times lately I looked down to see Francouz getting a start and me having no stats and no chance at stats.
Can't win if you don't play.

There's only so many times I can go in circles without getting nauseous
I posted the question on a NHL group on facebook. The argument goes both ways as can be expected. A lot of people agree that although spectacular McDavid is not the best player currently. With such a resounding divide and no consensus, the preliminary judgment based on a small sample size resides in my favor. I will continue to find more opinion on the matter.

Funny he mentions Robertson too. Also thinks that Robertson will win the cup before McDavid.
I think Dallas has a better team and more future so it's possible.

Just so happens the greatest mind in hockey finds an article about the exact same thing he's saying by a reputable sports journalist with 105 years experience.

As a hockey fan, McDavid is the best period.

Hahaha that's what happens when the truth gets spoken. Usually the people don't want to hear it. It takes time to get used to the idea.

Well that was interesting.
I was referring to the "fuck this losing shit" 1st goal and 11 shots Mack put up against the Oilers yesterday.
Skinner was lights out. Well done. Mcdavid had some sick chances. Draisaitl was frustrated as fuck. I wanted to see Hyman get the hats.

Well that was interesting.

McDavid is definitely the most offensively gifted player in the league. I will say that. That doesn't make him the best player.

cup because Mckinnon willed it
You guys stretch my words a lot.. Like really a lot.
8 minutes ago, Ralphdog said:Do you think if you air dropped McDavid into Mackinnons jersey last year, the Av's would've been worse off?
I'm no crystal ball owner.
As for the rest. To assume that any of the Avs players are leaps an bound above the Oilers players is absurd. There is parity in this league. You throwing around the AVs names like there is no Draisaitl and RNH . Kane is a beast. Avs have a step up in the D department with Makar but Nurse is one mean mother who had a hell of a year. Bouchard and Barrie are pretty fuckin dope in my opinion.
Lekhonen played like he was inspired or something. As did Kadri. As did that whole team. It's called Leadership.
As for Goaltending .. Kumeper and Smith had a hell off a Playoffs last year. Smith cracked 2 shutouts and was kicking ass until they ran into Mackinnon and the AVS and lost in 4 straight.
Even in the head to matchup. Mackinnon had more points per time on ice than McDavid. Mcdavid had 15 minutes more ice-time in the series. Mcdavid went scoreless in one game. His two big nights of 3 points each were fruitless because they lost.
Perhaps if the oilers started playing a rounder game that was less McDavid centric their goaltending would fair better?
So is the so called best player in the game a detriment to his team and because this is a team sport does that negate him from being the best player?
I think so.
This all stands to change in the future but as of right now I can only work with the information I have.

That's insane. I thought Gudas was showing a little light. I just figured it was the new team and/or age.
