Ya, TDA is way way faster than Dougie. 

Honestly not trying to stay on the TDA subject but I was surprised with the power of his shot too. Hopefully he can behave I think his skillet in our system is phenomenal.

 

Subject change Svech seems to have his swagger back and has definitely gotten stronger in the off-season.

Svech and Martinook. That shot from Marty was golden, I don’t think he had one last year for the most part that went within’ feet of the goal outside a few lucky bounces but that one had accuracy and power.

The fourth line was excellent, they were far more than an energy line last night, a little weird seeing Aho get the A and Martinook not have it but he was great last night.

With that many Finns Aho has gotta have the A. Martinook is still an alternate so I assume him and Aho are gonna rotate depending on the game and situation.

I like TDA the player but I absolutely hate him as a person. 

It's a conundrum. 

Say hello, Greg Hardy....

That being said, he thumped whoever that was in the 1st on that break. When was the last time you saw Dougie do that... if ever?

I'll say this for the more casual hockey fans... Even more so than football don't get attached to players trades and fa movement are so commonplace you will only be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Yep. Most of that is because the NHL has kept the salary cap as simple as it can possibly be and as long as the annual cap number isn't ridiculous, you won't see an A-Rod or Albert Pujols type contract in the NHL. I prefer it that way over having to hire some Ivy League educated capologist just to have an elementary understanding. That being said, there are some loopholes that could be closed in the NHL system (Tampa Bay Lightning and their $92M roster last season).

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
