I’m glad they just scored a goal as I type this. Congrats to the Blues, they really came out. | ||

I think the Karlsson deal is going to be fine but expensive for at least 3-4 years. It’s going to hurt on the back 9 of it. Even short term it’s going to cost them a lot of talented middle six talent and depth. I think they had to though based on how good he is. The Hayes deal is god awful. He’s hit 20g once and 50 pats once and he’s 27. The rangers totallly worked Winnipeg. Traded them back their own first. So they effectively got Trouba and lemiuex for poink (who is really bad in his own end) and two months of Hayes. I’m so glad they’re not paying for Hayes. I’m really hoping devils go Hughes first so the Rangers get Kakko. Ignoring the rest of his game, his puck carrying ability and shielding with his body is Jagr-Esque. The rangers really haven’t nailed a 1st round forward since fucking Kovalev. I’m excited to see them rebuild now. It looks like they could be good within the next two years. I can’t wait til staal and smith are gone. | ||

Devils and Rangers so far have made the most splash with draft and signings. | ||

Yeah but it definitely is a poison pill contract. First few years are huge signing bonuses which hurt small market teams. Waddell said he’s going to wait the full seven days to make sure Montreal has that money tied up lol. Bergevin is an idiot. It would have made more sense to target Marner since Toronto doesn’t have much wiggle room without sacrificing depth players. This has been the best rangers offseason in ages. That defense is still ass as long as smith and staal are on it and there is some forward questions. But you could do a lot worse than a top 6 that includes Z, Panarin, Kakko, and Kreider. If Buchnevich takes another step forward and one of those young centers turns into a 40-50 pt guy this year they’ve got a solid top 6. I would be amazed if Kakko doesn’t come in and have an immediate 40-50 pt season himself. Devils moves were also really good. I’m excited for the rivalry to have meaningful games again. | ||

The two big thing about the contract is the first year which cost 21 millions (something like 11 at the signature and 10 for the year).Like you said, this isn't small money for a team like the Canes but they should be able to find it. Also, the contract is only 5 years so after it, Aho is free. Last thing is i'm pretty sure Aho doesn't want to play there anymore. but it's not really is choice yet... As for the general way the day went, the race for the playoff in the East will be really intense. Devils, Rangers, Panters and Flyers all did some improvement (tough, I don't think Rangers are up there yet), Habs will be much better if Aho is in the team, and the big team are still all really strong (Botls, Bruins, Pitts, Caps, etc). | ||
