Nah, your Monahan take is ill-informed. His downfall was due to needing TWO hip surgeries. This was his first year since the procedures and he potted 60 points with basically no "new team adjustment" period which he went through twice this year. He's 29, so the contract only takes him to 34 for a strong 6'3 centre with a proven high ceiling post-recovery. The contract will age very well IMO.

Washington's also listed as 13.3M over the cap, though that includes Backstrom's 9.2M which will likely be LTIRed. Still need to figure out 4.1M and it's only a 22-man roster. FV is 3.39M over but they'll LTIR Lehner putting giving them 1.61M in space with 23 players on the roster.

Thoughts on the Blackhawks signing of Laurent Brossoit @ $3.3/year for 2 years total? And to branch off, thoughts on goalie contracts in general? We saw Tampa win with Vasi who makes big bucks, then Vegas with Hill who was basically a random at the time worth only a 4th rd pick, & now Panthers win with Bob who has a cap hit of ~ $9 mil. Do yu think it's worth it to pay goalies big bucks or no? C.H for the Jets got torched in the playoffs so it feels like playoff goaltending performance is one of the biggest enigmas in the game.

As a Seattle fan, I was happy with the Montour signing, but I’ve been trying to figure out the Stephenson contract. And it really doesn’t make any sense. You’re hoping for a future that includes Beniers, Wright and Catton down the middle.

I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the Canucks signing Heinen as well. I think that might be one of the biggest steals of the day.

duclair already play for patrick roy in remparts

Anthony Duclair played for Patrick Roy for a couple years around 2011-2013 in the QJMHL. Roy knows what he is getting with this player and knows how to use him.

Matt Duchesne was overpaid in Colorado, Ottawa and Nashville. He is financially set for retirement already. So, taking a haircut to stay in Dallas makes sense. He is a complementary piece for that team which is the right fit for him.

I can't believe I'm saying this but looking into Debrusk's number more closely he isn't as inconsistent as some might think. He rarely went 3 games without a point in his career. He also played with a top-tier center in Boston the majority of his career until both of them retired. I think Boston let him walk because they felt he could be replaced with some of the youth in their system and Debrusk has been known to be vocal off ice when he thinks things aren't going his way.

With the looming Thomas Harley RFA situation, that contract will take up a healthy chunk of the $4.66 million in cap space that Dallas currently has. Might explain the lack of signings. But there are guys that could be available on the trade market. Dallas might have to give up a few roster pieces and picks to make that big move. They also have to re-sign Johnston and Oettinger after the upcoming season concludes. And with guys like Bourque and Stankoven ready for the NHL, they probably fill out roster spots in October. If Tanev wanted more term, not sure it would have been wise for the Stars to do that. So he got term with Toronto instead. Still like Dallas' outlook but I get the frustration.

Edmonton wins free agency already... hands down... to re-sign the guys they did, and add the guys they did with not a tonne of cap... absolutely unbelievable... inconceivable... and all by an interim GM who doesn't want to be GM!

The devils have killed it, with the trades, drafted players and free agents. Top six is heavy, bottom six with tatar, bastian, noesek, noesan, lazar etc. is pretty decent, the defense, with a more experienced Hughes and Nemec, and some big tough defenseman, and the goaltending with markstrom, allen and daws. On paper, this might be the best Devils team in history, from top to bottom. .

The caps have gone crazy like damn it’s crazy

cannot agree w/ Debrusk as being a + for those Canucks. However, you'll quickly notice he is too inconsistent and isn't capable of elevating his linemates. maybe he matures, guessing this will look like buyers remorse.

The habs had I think a not to bad day ik no big name free agents who they singed but I’d rather not have a player who’s in the late 30s and getting paid 5-7 million and the Habs aren’t even good. And signing slaf to a 8x7.6 mil dollar contract is great for the future

Not sure why it'd get a mention. It matches expectations on cap, might've been an extra season but that's part of the "bad team tax." AFP Analytics suggested 4x6.02M, Evolving Hockey had him at 3x6.1M. I think he's a pretty good fit in SJ for what they need, just not what I'd consider the best or the worst signing.

No bertuzzi or tuevo?

The minnesota wild tried buying a Stanley cup with suter/parise/havlet ... and we have been paying for it for over 10 years now

So far im on same page, but i have tbh i laughed so hard when dallas signed dumba after buying out suter. Duchene i feel like coulda got 3yrs x 6aav. That was a great signing

I wanna see DeBrusk with Miller and Boeser. I think Hoglander, Pettersson and Heinen will work well, too.

Jay Rob Blake ever made a good signing or trade ?

Vancouver had a great free agency last year, don't know what's so surprising

yep,the mood in Stars' reddit sub is very murky

How did you miss Nikita Zadorov as a Boston Bruin??

Us isles fans have had our prayers answered. It really is the summer of Lou. He isn’t done either. We’re at the cap ceiling and still need to resign our rfa guys (Lou has already confirmed Wahlstrom is to be signed and traded). I really hope it’s pinto or ehlers. Also a huge thank you to the other gm’s around the league for overpaying on centers. Jgp went from a bad contract to being worth around a 2nd over the course of 24hrs

And for Stephenson, Washington is a tax free state no? Should have been able to get that guy at like 4.85 if you wanted that long term.

I personally think the Reinhart deal will not age well in Fla. His 57 goals this year were more fluke, than anything else. Down the road, this has buy-out written all over it...

Why are we not talking about Zadorov at 6 x 5M, it's like double his value lol

As a Kraken fan, Seattle’s moves were so strange for me. Ron Francis never makes these big contract moves and for the middling roster we have now, adding more high AAV long term contracts is strange. I really like Montour as a player, and his AAV isn’t too bad, but 7 years for a 30 year old is risky. Also I just straight up so not like the Stevenson move. That AAV and length is too much for a player of his caliber.

Forbort unfortunately I think his lack or speed and inability to keep up with high-paced teams will hurt him in the West. Teams like Edmonton that rely on speed will feast on him

the buyout clause will be used an awful lot in about 4 or 5 years

Rob Blake must have been wearing a clown costume holding a checkbook… overpaid edmondsun who’s never played a full season and jeannot & foegele who we hope blossoms. I have no more hope left after the PLD disaster 😂 and why doesn’t someone put down Trevor Lewis already but yet we resign him 😂 dark day to be a Kings fan
