    I did not understand why Sweeney would trade Ullmark before having Swayman inked to a new contract. It put all the negotiating power into the player's hands. Having Ullmark as plan B would have allowed Boston to put some pressure on Swayman to sign or risk sitting out the year. If somebody came along with a 10M offer sheet, let him go for the 2 firsts, 1 second and third round draft choices and go with a Ullmark/Bussi or a decent available backup like Anthony Stolarz.
    It's not like Ottawa's package was too good to pass on. It was a mediocre return at best. If Ottawa's GM had gone on a bender and called offering Korpisalo and Brady Tkachuk with 50% salary retention, then I could see a reason to rush a deal.

  • @MaverickWall238
    @MaverickWall238 2 месяца назад +1

    I don't know if I agree with Laine not playing up to his contract. In his last 2 seasons in Columbus, with all the off ice issues he's had, he's pretty much scored near a PPG which is reasonable at 8,7M per season. Sure, you'd like him to play a full 82 games and score 40+ goals, but to me, if I'm looking to acquire Laine, the contract isn't much of an issue. The risk is more related to the fact he hasn't been able to completely put his full focus into hockey thus far in his career.

  • @teapea8184
    @teapea8184 2 месяца назад +1

    For Laine's sake I hope that he doesn't go back to Winnipeg as the rumors suggest. It didn't end well in Winnipeg so the hill he needs to climb is very high even from the beginning. What I think should happen is that he plays this season in Columbus and then next season he gets to go fresh to a new team with one year left and some sort of retention. One would think Columbus is very unwilling to retain for 2 years for Laine so the deal is very hard to see happen this summer.

  • @ianhall6614
    @ianhall6614 2 месяца назад +1

    It'll be interesting to see what the market is for Laine, cuz I wouldn't touch that contract unless Columbus retains like all of it lol. Although I said the same thing about Erik Karlsson, guess you just got to find a chump who widely overestimates where his team is at.

    Not to be a pessimist, but this Konecny contract is high in my opinion. Reminds me of the Gallagher contract. Gallagher is still a good middle six forward, but age and injuries have made it so that he can't be that 30 goal scorer anymore. We'll see with Konecny I guess.

    • @OlsenMath
      @OlsenMath 2 месяца назад

      The problem is that on a crappy Flyers team, Konecny is a #1 RW, and he is getting paid like one. On a good team, he is a second liner. His absolute value should be based on where he fits into the league structure, not on how he fits onto the Flyers. He'll continue to be a 60-70 point well rounded player on a bad Flyers team with no real future. Flyer fans cry "Michkov!" as if Michkov can single handedly bring this team into relevancy.

    Arizona should get an NHL team after Quebec City gets one and after Seattle gets an NBA team and Montreal an MLB team.

    Correct if I'm wrong, but I thought a player could only go to arbitration once in their career so it would not have been an option for Swayman anyway.

      A player can file as many times as he wants as long as he is eligible for arbitration. A team can file for arbitration of a player only once.

    No offense to Philadelphia, but they had Claude Giroux during the 2010's and did nothing but went to the finals once when they had richards , carter and giroux down the middle. Philpy wasted giroux years and will only do the same with konecky. Giroux was way better than konecky will ever be.
