Quote from: theaardvark on January 31, 2025, 05:41:52 PMDon't get me wrong, I'd love to get Ehlers for 8 years, $8mil here.  But there are 31 GM's out there trying to upgrade, and he's an upgrade on at least some of the 1RW out there.

If you're allotting that money and term for Ehlers, what happens to Connor at the end of 2026? He'll need a raise. There's also Vilardi to consider this off-season.

Re-signing a player doesn't happen in a vacuum. Or it shouldn't, anyway.

I don't want to see an 8 year deal. Nic will be 29 on Feb. 14th, 6 years at most. To many players drop off after 35. Glad we're finished paying for Wheeler after this season.

Lol... you're right, left.

I don't think Ehlers has a style of play that's going to break down easily.  As long as he keeps in shape, I think he will have a long career.  If we can get him on a 6 or 7 year deal, great.  But if we have to go the max to beat someone by a year of term, I have no issues.  Cap will be $200million by then, and we can weather a buyout of his last year or two if need be.
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.

Big game tonight. Boys have to play 60 minutes tonight and stay out of the penalty box.

Agreed, but really, it's just another game. Still, I can't wait for this one.
Go Bombers!

Nice win tonight. JM44 with a beauty to end the game. Let's go home, and he's gone.  Back home against a good Carolina team on Tuesday.

Geez that was a great ending with JMo finishing a fine pass from
MS55 in O.T.
The Caps are indeed a strong opponent and I understand more of why they're successful this season

The only thing I didn't like was giving up leads of 3-1 and 4-2.

Gotta give credit to the Caps; they battled hard.

What a wild game. That OT winner was just nasty.

3-0 on the road and winners of six straight. Love it.

Morgan Barron now week to week. Upper body. Apparently happen on the big hit on Dach late in the 3rd. period.

A good Carolina team coming in tonight, this should be a good game.

Hot teams right now. 

Jets 6 wins.
Wings 6 wins
Stars 5 wins
Sens 5 wins.

Update per Arniel: Lowry, Barron both listed week-to-week, neither is skating.

Jets shut down a pretty team tonight. Comrie was very good, nice to see him get the shutout. And, that's 7 in a row.

Gotta love another team effort with a positive result

Definitely it was big kudos to Comrie

Comrie was great, team played great (second line was buzzing), powerplay continues to dominate. Seven game heater!

Friday night's gonna be fun. ;D
