HardCoreBlue Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 Man, Teemu Selanne looks good. What every professional athlete hopes to have when their careers are over, i.e., all their faculties in order. blue_gold_84 and The Unknown Poster 1 1

Noeller Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 Josi's an outstanding player, but man that's a lotta money...
Rich Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 And he is 29. How is this going to look in the last 2 - 3 years. blue_gold_84 1

It appears this is becoming standard where if you want to lock up a player during his prime you also have to pay for his twilight years i.e.the Lucic years.
Noeller Posted October 29, 2019 Report Posted October 29, 2019 that's assuming everyone ages like Lucic did. Not everyone is going to fall off a cliff. Players now are in better shape than they have ever been, and theoretically could play a lot longer.....

Landeskog's injury comes after Mikko Rantenen suffered a lower-body injury last week that has him ruled week-to-week. In 11 games for the Avalanche this season, Landeskog has three goals and four assists. The Avalanche are next in action Wednesday when they take on the Florida Panthers. Looks like it's the Nate Mack show for now.

True for some athletes for sure however I'm seeing more and more headlines highlighting how teams are saddled with these large longer term contracts but not getting the benefits like they use too. Bobby Ryan as a most recent example. I would say freaks of nature players like Chara are still more exception than the norm. When a player is in his prime we are seeing some teams willing to give said player longer term contracts knowing down the road it will be a risk. It could be in some cases GM's living in the right now turning their head away from the future consequences of giving out a long term contract. Nature of the business I guess.
The Unknown Poster Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 Depending on what happens with Buff, Hamonic would be a good target for the Jets, especially if they think they can re-sign him.

I said it before I'll say it again. You got UFA and he not signed for next season you trade em else you risk losing them for nada. Tanev? Got nothing. Myers? Got nothing. Stamkos re-signings are not the norm. And that's my rant for the day.

And that's my rant for the day. You're not trading Tanev and Myers going into the playoffs. That's just bad GMing. Likewise, you're not going to trade Hamonic at the deadline unless you have someone to step into his role. blue_gold_84 and The Unknown Poster 1 1

The Unknown Poster Posted October 31, 2019 Report Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Jets have to be happy he’s going to the Moose rather than Finland. edit: Edited October 31, 2019 by The Unknown Poster
