My point was - given the opportunity to make a decision, this management group will make the wrong one. Thanks for playing…
He wasn't on a discounted contract, he was on a contract based on his performance to the point of when he signed that extension - that's how it works.
How convenient.
Connor and Kaprizov are the only two recent ones which have any real bearing on this discussion. Kaprizov took everything he could get, Connor did not. Eichel is less relevant as a Center, but still has some bearing as it is widely believed he could get quite a bit more as a UFA. Kempe fits between the two wings, assuming he won't want to give a discount off what he could get as a UFA.
Gavrikov should still be a King. Big fail. Ceci instead?
You think Kempe falls between 17 and 12 mil? If yes...you are f***ing delusional. No offense.
Yah, he should - but do you have any proof that shows the Kings weren't willing to pay him what he wanted?
That’s silly. Negotiations like that are confidential. But the result was a clear management failure to ice the best possible roster.
You seem to enjoy being a contrarian. But no one enjoys being insulted.
What’s stupid is assuming the reason he’s gone is due to management failure. When you got proof, get back to me.
Call it how it is, bud.
The proof is in a Ranger uniform. You are now ignored.
I'm ignoring you first!
Sounds about right for this management group.
It’s a fine line between being a strait shooter and just being plain rude (a.k.a being an a-hole) to people only because they don’t agree with you…
