The Suzuki bit:
> Nick Suzuki — welcome to the realm of “good contracts” where you should have been all along.
> Having him down as one of the worst contracts a couple of years ago looked wrong at the time and was a blight on the model, so it’s great to see that’s been rectified. That’s partly a result of adjustments to the model (age curve, context, contract valuation), but also of Suzuki proving he’s a legit No. 1 center. That was in question at the time, it’s not anymore
Overall we ranked 16th which is a big improvement over 26th last year! Plus we’ll likely shed Armia, Dvorak, and Savard either at the deadline or during the summer.
There aren’t ELCs included which is why our D corps is so small. Worth noting that Dom’s model really likes Harris so maybe we shouldn’t rush to include him in every trade proposal.
It’ll be a great day when we get rid of Anderson
How do you address the “cap situation” without including two more years of $10.5M cap hit for Price?
Why tf is Savard a C- grade ???
Anderson…
One of anderson or gallagher need to go, and the other needs to give 15 to 20 goals.
Hopefully they can decide this year and some of our deadline picks this year can help move the one who loses the spot.
Looking pretty good. We shed Dvo and Armia (if we want) at the end of this year. The only really bad ones we have on the books are of course Anderson and Gallagher; after this year or next, we might start to look at a buyout for one or both.
Color red is presented to you by Marc Bergevin
Nice to see Bergevin terrible work summarized in a chart
How do Gally and Anderson still have 3 years left lol, my God they were awful contracts
I love Monty, but $8M?
2.9 David Savard is good value to me. Hell of a shutdown D.
Doing Jake Evans dirty like that !
Kinda nice that Josh and Gallagher’s contracts will be coming off the books right as we start making noise in the playoffs
We still have 2 years of Kirby, let’s hope he either gets a healthy season for both and gets a lengthy contract or that in the very least we can bridge him again afterwards if it goes awry. I really like the guy
where is joshua wawa?
No model will be perfect. And David Savard isn’t perfect. But any model that says he’s a $900k defenceman has some significant flaws.
Anderson and dvorak are key for depth come playoffs but we gotta offload gallys contract he’s not a difference maker should of done it last year. We could could abuse the leafs in trade negotiations with some of the older players we have and some mid tier prospects. But I like what MB started and what now hughs is building off of .. a young team that will be competitive for a long time .. best offence we’ve seen in 20 years and it’s only getting started.
Shocker that all the red comes from Commander Bargainbin.
Most of the red grade are gone by next season so we are on the right path.
how is matheson a B- when he’s incredibly productive and plays huge minutes every night. any other team would kill to have an offensive defenceman like him at that cap hit
