Honestly from the last few hawks games I watched I'm more worried how Kane will look without panarin.
Not exactly the most motivated players after they hit the 10mil plateau maybe.
Scares me thinking bout how cap crunched all these teams are gonna be once the stars start tying up 20% of the cap each.
Veterans in the league will be 25-30 and few guys beyond 31 will remain. They will be unaffordable pieces.
If you have 2-3 10mil guys u need 8-9 1mil guys which means rookies or elc guys

Weird having ufa day on a Sunday.
Hope the leafs didn't get to much of a sniff in the first round to do something stupid.
Rumours are flying up here they want marleau Thornton and now duchene.
Guess they plan to rely on the Swedish d they just signed.

Wish the Hawks would do with thornton what they did Brad Richards. 1 year 1 mil . Wouldn't hate that deal.

Sorry dude but the hawks are exactly what will happen to the oilers now.
Everytime a player breaks out and becomes a star they will be traded the following year.
You guys just made the dumbest trade of the summer getting rid of panarin for saad.
Gross
Hate watching the NHL turn into the greed factory like the NFL and NBA

I know I'm in the minority but I actually like it. I think the main reason it was done was because Panarins contract runs out in two years and he will surely demand more money than the Hawks could afford. Its a big risk but I'm hoping it'll spark Toews offense.

What hurt more was trading Hjalmarson IMO..

I'm cool with McDavid getting a huge contract cause they're gonna be a force to reckon with and anything to drag em down is fine by me lol. Pretty ridiculous contract for someone who hasn't won a thing yet tho.

Yeah I hope the Leafs can get something going these next few years you guys deserve it. I'd take Matthews over McDavid any day..

I think the money is getting beyond belief.
How rich do these guys need to get.
Seriously does your wife need underwear made out of endangered animal skin or ur kids first car a Bentley.
No wonder the average fan can't afford to go to a game anymore.
I don't think moving a player because he deserves a raise is a good message to send but I'm sure I'm in the majority

seriously 4th rookie in line gets 20 goals no one talks about it. He's even a TO boy apparently. Hopefully they all sign below their value long term to make a dynasty.
ACTUALLY WE SHOULD ALL HELP. All we have to do is start one of those crowd funding dilly o's and collect a few bucks from all the leaf fans. We then give a mill a year to players who sign below their value. We cheat the cap rules so the franchise doesn't have to. The boys still get paid and we get to watch legends row explode to include active roster players with a collection of cup rings on their fingers.

I'll have to disagree. Mathews is a heck of a good player, but I think he'll comeback down to earth this year. McDavid on the other hand is the best young player I've seen since Gretzky. I will be shocked if the Oilers don't win a few cups over the next decade...

Yeah, I worry about that too. He's not the biggest guy on earth, and with his speed he's bound to take the short end of some big hits.

They need a Dave Semenko to patrol the corners for him! :lol:

Unfortunately they all (stars) seem to either fall into that category or never get hurt.
Tbh the kid irks me for some reason, I was disappointed with his attitude from before he even got drafted. Might be the most talented since Crosby but no where near the poise or iq.
He also did himself no favours with that ridiculous contract so he will get to spend his career constantly playing with new unproven wingers. Rnh mcdavid lucic 25mil per season :spew:
