I'd imagine they said no to the Olympics because it's in Korea and not far from there is a crazy little man who is crazy enough to start crap during the winter Olympics. Basically no hockey at all in Korea also so they gain nothing by going they will go to China in 2022 tho. And I was so hoping that athletes would be more mature during the winter olympics, it's just a shame that some world leaders can't be as mature as athletes when they are competing(with the exception of Lochte and Solo and that martial arts athlete from Egypt). wait NHL players will play in the 2022 olympics? I guess someone must have told Bettman that if he prevents that then he can forget about putting the NHL there Edited May 5, 2017 by iHeart

Bettman is just the guy who takes the heat.
iHeart Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 oh well, I can't really get mad at owners if they are that concerned about safety
Goalie Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 Probably more about they gain nothing and take all the risks. But regardless
FrostyWinnipeg Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 Canes sign G Scott Darling to a 4-year deal worth $16.6 million.

Goalie Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 Doubt hawks would have traded him in division and while I like Darling, that may be a Pavelec bad contract. Not proven enough to get that much.
Brandon Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 The Jets have no interest in signing a goalie for 4 years... they want Comrie and Helle to be the future. They will sign an experienced guy for 2 years for less money. Draft and develop .....
Goalie Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 Plus Darling while I like him and hope he does well.... reality is he's never been a starter. His numbers are very hutch like actually after the amount of games he's played. 4 million plus is an overpayment. I hope he does well in Carolina but he's not proven enough to get 4 plus million

The Unknown Poster Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 That's a lot for an unproven starter. I like him a lot. But they over paid to get him before free agency. It's either bad or very good. He could be a great goalie.
Rich Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 This was always the range Darling was going to get. Term might be a bit long Similar to what Talbot got in Edmonton. Talbot was similar as an unproven starter who had shown well as a backup with the Rangers prior to signing in Edmonton. Noeller 1

I am hoping they are referring to Thorburn, Stuart, Pavelec and Stafford being off this team and replaced with younger guys.... The team really can't get much younger at this point? bearpants and DR.

The team really can't get much younger at this point? Adding Kyle Connor and maybe a younger D man like Poolman does make the average age younger. Thor Pav Stafford bring the avg age up quite a bit so by removing them and replacing them with younger guys yeah the avg age will drop.

Talbot was similar as an unproven starter who had shown well as a backup with the Rangers prior to signing in Edmonton. Talbot had a year left when they traded for him and proved he's legit. Darling has played something like 82 NHL games in total and zero as the number 1 guy.
bustamente Posted May 7, 2017 Report Posted May 7, 2017 Darling got what he would of probably got as a UFA term is long for what he has shown so far but sometimes you roll the dice, I think he is going to do very well in Carolina, still would be nice if we could get someone to tandem with Helle for a couple of years.
Floyd Posted May 7, 2017 Report Posted May 7, 2017 Hopefully closer to the cap means they are signing Trouba long-term... but I don' think so. Jets will drift along, saving money on the RFA deals until they are 6 months away from UFA and then trade them for more picks and a prospect. Atomic 1

Jets will drift along, saving money on the RFA deals until they are 6 months away from UFA and then trade them for more picks and a prospect. Chipman's remarks are pretty pointed. I think he's referring to a big offer for Trouba. Willingness to be closer to the cap would indicate a sense they think they can win. All about cap management because they will have to re-sign these young guys (Ehlers, Laine) soon enough too.
Goalie Posted May 8, 2017 Report Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Raises for Trouba Little Ehlers are all possible for sure. This idea you build a team by overpaying free agents is ridiculous and bullshit. They have no problem paying their own guys but they won't overpay for UFA to come here. It's pretty much common NHL practice actually. Jets are no different. Difference Is they won't get in to a bidding war for a UFA. It's called being smart. July 1st is called a Frenzy for a reason... GM'S are stupid that day. It's unfortunate tho we didn't sign David Clarkson or the many other guys who get severely overpaid on July 1st. Edited May 8, 2017 by Goalie
DR. CFL Posted May 8, 2017 Report Posted May 8, 2017 Not sure the Jets are....or will ever be in danger of being to close to the Cap ceiling . They might be more concerned about just staying above the Cap floor.
Rich Posted May 8, 2017 Report Posted May 8, 2017 Jets were 6.3M under the cap this year. 12M above the floor. JCon and Goalie 2

Isles really have to go all in and offer 8 years if they want to keep him.
Atomic Posted May 9, 2017 Report Posted May 9, 2017 Tavares can likely get that money in at least 10-15 different cities in the NHL. If I am him, there is no way I'm staying in NY. Not once in his time there has he been given any top-tier talent to work with. And any time their young players start to develop, they are shipped out of town. It's a terrible place to play hockey.
