[@TopNic21]

Guenther is on pace for 164 goals. It's a steal I'd say

[@lb_75]

Rookie numbers smh.

[@jmecow]

Easily sustainable

[@timroberto3853]

Mcdavid is on pace for 0. Can you believe it!?!?

[@Gojets37]

Only my be a pro player blows pace that

[@MASTERSWORD009]

Laff for 8x8 sounds expensive especially considering the Shesty deal coming. we will have to trade guys for Cap space for sure.

[@seancomyn4610]

Would be interested to hear what you think Connor Zary's next contract will be. He's an RFA this coming offseason and I think the Flames will be tempted with locking him up on an 8 yr deal instead of bridging him.

[@Pr0fessor_P]

Compared to all the 8x8 contracts being thrown around to guys with 1 or 2 years under their belts, a Laf 8x8 seems to make sense

[@Chub-Chub_The_Third]

Hockey is back baby

[@antthegamer7813]

Lafreniere was one of the only ranger stars to continue their play late into that playoffs, especially against Florida. As a ranger fan ill take an 8x8

[@grambo2536]

During the hurricanes and panthers series, laf consistently produced and played well when the others on the team were spotty. They’re looking for more consistent production

[@bug0811]

The Boston defence narrative is just dumb. Sens had better defensive metrics than Boston last season.

[@JunkratJoules]

Habs fan here, Guenther at 4M$/yr for 3 years is a steal, specially if you think about Slafkovsky's new contract that also starts next season once his ELC ends, 7.6M$/yr for 8 years. In both case, they are paying for future possible success and if all goes well, both will be steals compare to new contracts signed later once the cap is increase.

[@cheddarandsourcream]

That Daccord deal really surprised me. They started Grubauer game 1 and he blew it as usual then they immediately paid daccord lol.

[@krakenspectacor]

@@cheddarandsourcream Gru played great that game. Gru was also the better goalie at the end of camp. You new to hockey?

[@krakenspectacor]

Daccord makes total sense. No head scratch at all. He dominated in the AHL under the current coach and played a full season workload. The Kraken aren’t betting on replicating. They’re betting at worst he’s a high end backup. You’re gonna be real shocked when you see what the next set of goalie contracts are going to look like. It’s way dumber to wait. Also Grus been solid. Slight overpay maybe but his stats don’t really tell the story. We’re not crying about it.

[@JBTriple8]

you hired female Assisstant Head Cosch Invalid opinion

[@Pablum444]

Username and PFP check out

[@jonah.donohue]

@@Pablum444Yes it does casual

[@krakenspectacor]

@@Pablum444 that all ya got? Feel free to bring up some well informed discussion points

[@dino3965]

Gru is straight up cheeks, watched plenty of kraken games myself that contract is terrible. Dude is a mid-range backup at best

[@Ace96x10]

Most overpaid by far , is Nurse.

[@doaftheloaf]

PLDiva?

[@nummytacos128]

Laf extension is a bit much. I'd expect something like 3 years 6-6.5m AAV. They still don't know what the Shesterkin and Panarin (in 2026-27) contracts will look like, so tying up this much cap space into Laf feels odd. I'm expecting Panarin to get close to 11-12m a year again once he becomes a free agent, but he could always take a team friendly deal if he wants to play out his career there. Shesterkin not accepting 11m a year is a bit alarming though, so who knows what he's going to get. They need to pay most of their d-man in a couple years as well.

[@mattgardiner744]

I’m so happy about Ullmark and the contract, plus in about five years goalie prospects like Søgaard and Meriläinen should be making their way up into the nhl too

[@wainber1]

The 8:50 mark of the video features the start of a mention of Ullmark's great performance in a 3-1 Sens' win over the Panthers. Stopping all but one of 31 shots makes me think of a much healthier Thatcher Demko, with the Canucks' goalie still out due to a series of injuries that early last postseason he suffered. Goalie prospects on Canadian NHL teams are interesting, with how many who end up playing more than just a handful of NHL non-preseason games dependent on so many factors. While Connor Hellebuyck had before the 2024 preseason played for almost 10 seasons having started, or otherwise played in, the majority of Jets' regular-season games, the Habs (Sam Montembeault and Cayden Primeau) and Oilers (Stu Skinner and Cal Pickard) are the only Canadian teams whose goalie tandems are the same as last season. It'll be interesting how many Canadian teams that have, according to the front offices, playoff aspirations (with such teams that I count all but the Flames and Habs) end up making it and then how far those teams get. Goaltending is often a difference-maker in the postseason but also in the regular season.

[@tankdiggs8974]

The last CBA messed things up. Younger guys get to free agency faster so now guys get paid on potential instead of accomplishments.

[@tankdiggs8974]

yup 40seconds after I type this Nyquist brings it up lol

[@krakenspectacor]

@@tankdiggs8974 26 is plenty of time to prove yourself.

[@stephenphillips6245]

Used to be the vets like Gary Roberts that got the bag...LoL

[@saschaganser9671]

Guenther could turn out a massive underpay if he takes another step and becomes an elite F. He`s fast, he can score, i only see him getting better. And his contract should age well, as the new CBA propably will raise the cap to a new level. For one Draisaitl you can field Guenther and Clayton Keller. The goalies seem to get bigger paydays now. But i don`t like Sways contract. It`s a difference to have a elite duo, than to shoulder 60 games. BOS makes goalies look good, and i think Sway got paid for that. I would not be surprised if that turns into a bad contract soon.

[@warren_cf1785]

Personally I really hope the rangers make that deal. It’s been very hard watching other teams take some risk with young players whereas the rangers just don’t. It’s time to switch that up, gamble a bit for long term gain

[@jasonkashefi8241]

I think 8 mil is a bit high for laffy and I don’t think he’s up there w stuzzle I agree they’re more dynamic on offense but as laffy does have a bit more 200 ft game and might be a more complete player

[@gregrehkemper8196]

I was hoping you'd get to Thomas Harley with Dallas

[@justinowen9526]

$4M a year on a bridge is a steal for Harley. He'll probably cash in on next deal, but locking up a young player on the rise for the next 2 seasons at that price on a team that is a legit SC contender is great value.

[@DinocoBlue5]

Bro remembered he had a channel this week

[@lb_75]

Swayman wanted to change the demographic of tendies contracts and by gawd it’s worked.

[@doaftheloaf]

sway is an overpay based on what he's done so far. come back in a year or two when he's actually accomplished something.

[@russamieltrusty]

Great Vid

[@sugibear123]

If sabres make the playoff the wings don't lol

[@OhNyquist]

Huh

[@RGP43_]

laf underpaid if less than 14 mil

[@CodySinke-j7u]

No one has watched the wntire video yet

[@jonah.donohue]

Ullmark contract gonna age terribly

[@jred1817]

Yo mamas gonna age terribly

[@nummytacos128]

I would pay him far more a year if I had to pick between him and Korpisalo (with his current contract). Bruins got fleeced.
