    So it’s basically 90% star players who signed long term RFA deals and haven’t hit UFA yet. That’s not surprising.

    Would like to see a similar list of best contracts of players who signed UFA deals.

    That's really good work by Fitzgerald. NJ's blue line might look really deep when Hughes and Nemec come up after this season.

    Funny the first 6 names you see in bottom left, 4 have played with wings in past 4 seasons (and wings weren't in the playoffs so some of their own terrible defenseman not even listed). Nick Leddy also isnt too far off. Been a rough few seasons on that side of the ice

    Apparently Thomas Drance, the Canucks Athletic guy, said he’s heard Kadri has a deal with the Islanders but Lou is being Lou.

    Marek spent half a year reporting Klingberg was looking for over $60M. Obviously his agent was leaking this in hopes of driving the market; never thought there would be a bidding war for the right to pay him that. Could someone step up and offer him that? Maybe. But there isn’t a lot of available cap space out there and teams willing to step up for him.

    Checks bottom right, Patrick Nemeth, Troy Stetcher, Jon Merrill, Nick Leddy, Nick Jensen. No wonder Detroit’s defense has been so awful the past number of years.

    Yeah, I think it's obvious at this point that Klingberg has been asking for a lot more than teams are willing to give him. He's still putting up points, but he's 30 and his game has already started tailing off.

    K’Andre Miller being what he is after only playing about a handful of years as a D man is amazing. Honestly might be the most untouchable of the Rangers young players/prospects (Fox not included)

    Ridiculous size/wingspan + great stick defensively makes him so hard to get around at the blueline.

    Lmao Kakko resigns on a 2 year bridge deal for $2.1M AAV

    Insane this league doesn’t use offer sheets. Someone like Chicago could’ve offered $3M and potentially gotten him for a 2nd round pick. Just stupidity.

    Are we using the terms assault and survivor for the first case where the woman is on tape saying that she was having fun and stone sober?

    There is definitely a deviant culture in hockey though, I have seen some weird shit. I don’t understand it, it is not appealing to me but some men and women seem to like this type of behavior. It’s kind of hard to condemn them when the girl was saying she was ok with it.

    I get what you mean by the lingo. Saying victim and survivor indicates to me that the other side is in the wrong and has committed these offenses. We don’t know what’s happened but it looks like there hasn’t been a presumption of innocence until proven guilty.

    and if we go a little further I was in this situation and it felt wrong to me, some people like to do some crazy shit sexually and the line is blurry as hell. On this very board people celebrate a guy who has two gf’s and uses one as a sex toy because she likes it. Hockey Canada is not doing great but how can you manage these situations? Girls are throwing themselves at them, they regret it when they realize that they were just used as a toy and won’t be a hockey player’s gf when they wake up.

    the guys in this situation took a video of her saying she was ok with it, it’s fucked up but it’s where we are now. They knew it could come back against them. And it is. I have zero sympathy for them by the way. They knew it was wrong and did it anyway. It’s just impossible to manage and it is not a hockey Canada matter but a parenting matter.
