The salary cap in 06-07 was 50.3 million. 56.7 for 07-08 season. Now look at Drury, 13 goal Scott Gomez, and Redden.

>>76708836
Drury signed for 14.0% of the cap. Kopitar signed for 13.7%. Kopitar is a consistent 70 point threat with Selke calibre defence. Drury never hit 70 points even in a higher scoring era and never won the Selke.

Yotes seem like a bit of a clusterfuck in hockey ops but it's not like the current group was doing any good there so might as well clean house

no. seattle doesn't have a workable arena yet or even a concrete plan to build one. plus i think there is another civic election coming up there, so it'll have to wait to see how that all shakes out

The arena if it gets passed probably won't be completed until about minimum 1-2 years (depending if they renovate keyarena or build an entirely new one in sodo)

>>76709242
Pretty much everyone in Seattle is treating the Key Arena remodel as a done deal. It has the full support of the Mayor and the City Council and Bettman has said that the Key Arena remodel is up to NHL standards. Those are really the biggest hurtles to jump through. All they have to really do is iron out some specific details and pledge money to fix traffic concerns. it will pass by the end of 2017. The plan is concrete, it will just take awhile to build.

the problem is, the biggest arena a team could feasibly play in while the Key gets remodeled is 9,000 max capacity in Everett, unless the Tacoma Dome gets remodeled as well. even then, a Tacoma Dome remodel wouldn't be finished until 2019. Would Bettman be willing to let the Coyotes play in a 9,000 capacity temporary arena while a new arena is being built for a season or two? I highly doubt it, but crazier things have happened with sports team relocations.

>>76709571
The fact Los Angeles now has TWO teams is ridiculous, and they're not even good. I understand New York having two teams, but Los Angeles doesn't need two basketball teams and two football teams. They're at a bloodloss in a franchise, and few would pay for them to see either one. Nice drafting Jared goff over someone that was clearly better rams

>>76709601
That is actually the best line-up I've seen yet. Both Lindberg and Bellemare are where they're supposed to be.

>>76708609
>rags

>>76709601
>Sbisa 2nd line
Umm

>>76709606

It's mind blowing how any of this was allowed to transpire. It will be kek worthy when both of them relocate in the next 5-10 years max.

>>76709601
>Methot could be gone

This isn't even the final roster. Slow down and wait until the trades and acquisitions are done

>>76709641
Bellemare is easy. He is the most 4th line center they have. But Lindberg, Karlsson, Eakin, and Haula are all centers that aren't really 2nd line and good for 3rd line. Hard to predict where they will end up.

>>76709663
Would you prefer Emelin? They really don't have much going for them on defense. Sbisa, Methot, Emelin and Engelland are their top minute vets.

So next season's schedule was posted: When do regular tickets go on sale for those dates then? I see some stuff on Stubhub but almost nothing on Ticketmaster, so I assume the Stubhub tickets are just season ticketholders listing stuff already?

>>76709668
It will be, but when the coyotes finally leave, it'll be a breath of fresh air. If you have to play in the desert in the playoffs, it sucks because the temperature is at the boiling point in Arizona. At least Seattle looks like a better market, even without a functional arena at the moment

On a side note, why hasn't anyone considered Utah as a good place. They held a Winter Olympics there and could have a nice team

>Flower to Vegas
Can't say I'm surprised, but still sad to see him go. Sounds like Pens also had to give up a 2nd round pick in extortion money to prevent them from taking Murray?

>>76709715
Doesn't Pittsburgh have a goalie problem coming up with their prospects? I know the isles have sorokin and soderstrom coming up, and both look to be great

>>76709675
Lindberg has the most offensive potential. He was a first liner in a dominating Skellefteå in SHL and was the playoffs MVP.

>>76709715

No Murray was protected that 2nd round pick was extortion to ensure they took Fleury and no one else. McPhee jewed a lot of teams.

>>76709741
Jarry is looking very promising.

>>76709601
vegas hoplites are my favorite team

>>76709711
it's a smaller market and a hockey team would have to compete with the Jazz. I think it would be a good move though. The Coyotes go to Seattle and the 32nd team goes to Utah.

>>76708679

>>76709797

>>76709812
>The Utah Tabernacle

>>76709711
Mormons don't drink (which is a lot of revenue) and don't go to Sunday games. Hockey does not exist in Utah, it is amazing the ECHL team has done as well as it has. On the other hand, if Vegas can support a team Salt Lake should be able to.

>>76709847
Utah won't get the mormons, but there's lots of people who ski there during the winter. You can piggyback off of that and make them profitable, but also a good team. If there's a bad thing, it's that salt lake is in the pacific still and wouldn't do well in an expansion

>>76708679

The world would be a much better place if Apple never existed.

>>76709741
Murray will start of course, should be backed up by Tristan Jarry, who helped the babypens dominate the AHL regular season last year. However I have heard good things about Gustavsson, he is supposed to compete with Jarry to be the back up, both coming along nicely.

>>76709900
And for the isles side, sorokin and soderstrom both dominated their leagues, and have promise.

Can someone explain to me how the FUCK Erik Karlsson didn't win the Norris trophy? What in the actual fuck

>Some conspiracy theorists have interpreted various aspects of the new Adidas template as laying the groundwork for advertising patches appearing on NHL uniforms in the near future. I asked NHL executive Brian Jennings about that, and he stated flatly that ads on NHL jerseys are not on the table. And to be clear, he didn't use slippery language that left him with a loophole, like, "We have no current plans for that, but we like to keep all our options open." He looked me in the eye and stated flat out that it is not happening.

>>76709993

>>76709812
What would they do about the Admirals though? Have the Pettits sell them to some moneybags and promote them to NHL level?

>>76709993
Who votes for this stuff? Is it media?

>>76709868
I'm not sure who would be willing to build a facility that could house a NHL franchise there, and the best skiing is about 90 minutes from downtown Salt Lake. It would be hard to put the rink near the skiing. The ECHL team is already about as close as possible (west of the skiing), and the University of Utah is in the way to the north before you'd get to downtown.

I agree, Sodo is the superior site. But the odds are against Hansen now.

I don't care what arena gets built as long as Seattle gets a team.

>>76710135
So you guys want to play in safeco unironically until a new place is made like the lightning did?

>>76710151

SafeCo would be fine with the dome closed, desu.

Being in SoDo would be far superior for business, however. It's within walking distance of all the downtown hotels and tourist attractions.

Putting it in KeyArena is beyond retarded.

>>76710135

>unironically living in Tampa

>>76710198
A pity game would be sad if they didn't make the playoffs, but they do have a nice prospect pool and some hope

>>76710194

It's a bunch of political bullshit and retardation. It isn't even all money, either. A lot of it is just politics. It's a fucking stupid situation.

>>76710151
If the SoDo Arena somehow gets the OK to get built, a team could play in the Key until SoDo is done.

When it comes to just the Key, things get complicated. Safeco could work, but the M's are really picky about shit. Then you have the Tacoma dome, but it doesn't have a rink in it anymore. Then comes the Arena in Everett, which is a max 9,000 capacity.

>>76710198
This will likely be the most logical solution as of right now. I hate to say that, because I want a team in Seattle now. But realistically, Key won't be ready until the 2019-2020 season at best.

>>76710228
Id like to see them play in the safe, but it wouldn't happen unless it's an outdoors game. The city itself would be good rivals with the Canucks though, and the Pacific Northwest always has nice eye candy

>>76710194
>>76710246

it's not really the Mayor, he's just a figure head and cheerleader in all of this. It's old Seattle cockblocking the Sodo arena. the city council, the port of seattle, the unions, and the rich west seattle types that don't give a shit about sports. They don't want shit being built that doesn't belong to them, can't make them money, and disrupts their plans for new buildings.

Even if you hate sports, you give the city a chance to gain revenue and attention. Even if it isn't as good as the Seahawks, you put them on the map and attract all sorts of stuff. Things like tourism can increase simply from a team, and especially with Vancouver

Offsides calls can only be reviewed at full speed. If it's impossible to tell somebody was offside at full speed then the call stands. Stupid as fuck when they spend 5 minutes zooming in on a couple pixels and breaking it down frame by frame to determine a play was offsides when nobody noticed it when it actually happened and the coach is just challenging on a Hail Mary. That's the biggest fix needed for replay challenges.

Pronman suggested New Jersey wanted Makar

>>76710911
Pls no. What a boring pick

>>76710924
Neither of the top 2 centermen will provide the same kind of impact we've seen from the past few drafts top 2. Both are good, not franchise changing good. It's solid to go top end D honestly.

>>76710924
>What a boring pick
>boring
It'd be the most interesting, blindsided pick in a long time. Makar isn't even the #1 ranked defenceman in the draft and is ranked all over the place from 3-10

>>76710948
Hes so... Small. 5'11" 187 lbs
That worries me. Also not a situation where you got a clear #1 guy like for example Ekblad where you know he'll be good getting picked at 1. Seems like a risk to me. I wonder what they see in him

>>76710790
>>76710839
Bunch of pampered assholes.
Can't wait for their golden generation ends and they're back to oblivion and relocation rumors.

>>76710849
He will get faster. He wasn't this slow when he entered the league. Hip surgery, cancer and various other injuries have slowed his development but he is not even close to his prime yet. Skating can be fixed if he just has a few healthy off seasons.

>>76710924
I honestly think they should try to trade down with Dallas or even go off the board and take Heiskanen 1 ovrl.
Forwards in this draft just suck. Heiskanen out performed Ristolainen at the same age but also played in a much better team.

>>76710975
Or rather what they don't see in Hischier and Patrick.

>>76710975
>clear #1 guy like for example Ekblad where you know he'll be good getting picked at 1

This seems like a weird statement considering Ekblad was at the time considered a weak 1st overall.
Last season he was forced to play the tough minutes and he fucking sucked.
He is never going to be more than a mid pairing D.

>>76711102
Bad post

>>76710360
lmao how

>>76710948
I don't even know where to rank Makar. He plays in such a shit league and we haven't seen him against the best of his peers on international ice.
I wouldn't take the risk in the 1st round at all desu.

The penguins are stupid good, for now (predraft/free agency) the only thing in the way of a 3peat is exhaustion from back to back cups catching up with the team.

His femur had a clean break, which was pretty lucky. If he had shattered a part of it, he wouldn't step on the ice for months. He'll probably be good to go by the start of the season

And we saw all those 1-vote players on the Calder and Hart which means guys just vote for the local kid they watched all year and obviously never watched any other teams

>>76716151
Eh when he was picked it made sense.
looking back Pesce would of been better or Guentzel.

DeBrusk doesn't look bad but shouldn't have wasted a 1st on him. Zboril was probably the right call there and with Senyshyn he looks to be a solid scorer but you never know til he reaches the NHL.
Frederick however was a FUCKING TERRIBLE PICK.
>>76716162

Well he did exceed expectations in his first season at Wisconsin. Still, I'm not a retard and I don't expect him to be a 40 goal scorer or some shit.

>>76716326
true
I still expect him to be a 3rd line guy who can slot in the 2nd if needed but nothing more.

Unless for some reason he fucking explodes in the NHL.

>>76716310
Zboril is probably a bust, they should ship him soon
