Re: The NHL Thread
 

Works for me.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm actually good for that time....if I remember. Usually getting home just before 6 but I'm off tomorrow so yay me. So Ryan Johansen as my first pick?


Also saw Jordan Staal out with a broken leg. Tough break (no pun) for the Canes. They were in tough to make the playoffs to begin with.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So read a post form Lebrun about Johansen's latest offer. Apparently the Jackets biggest problem with it, is that in the 2nd year of the deal, he'd get paid $6mil, which he is then eligible for salary arbitration, and they'd have to offer him that $6mil....

Re: The NHL Thread
 

it's kind of sad that Jordan Staal hasn't taken off they way a lot of people thought he would, love the guy

bad luck for him...

Re: The NHL Thread
 

6 pm works better for me than 8 pm :thumbsup

Re: The NHL Thread
 

6pm is bad for me but I'll just let it auto draft. I kept two good goalies so I'm sure it'll pick good forwards and D for me

Re: The NHL Thread
 

So if everyone that played last year gets to keep 3 players does that mean there will be zero elite players available for those of us that didn't play last year?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Pretty sure it was decided to not do a keeper league this year.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

We did it just for you because you're a Caps fan, and are in cahoots with Brohan.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I am in class til 6:30 so I would be forced to auto draft.

We are starting the league fresh this year. There will be no keepers this season.

Next season you will be able to keep 4 players from this season.

I hope everyone can make the draft, The alternative is to do it on the weekend.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Ok Roose has just mentioned he was keeping 2 goalies so I was confused

:lol thanks bud. Me + brohan = besties

Cool, thanks for clarifying :thumbsup

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Who can do it on the weekend?

I'm forced to auto-draft as well.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I didn't know that. That's bull shit. Can we move the draft to the weekend then?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I might be able to do it this weekend, depends on time and stuff of course.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I am not available Saturday night. I am available at any other point over the weekend

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Shut up, Yandle!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

yeah, i read this too. can you explain what the problem is though, it's lost on me.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm available all of Friday, not available Saturday and unsure of Sunday (get my work schedule today).

That said, finding a time to work for everyone may be difficult.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

They would have to qualify him at $6mil or let him walk after 15-16. If they qualify him, his salary for 16-17 would have to be $6mil minimum, even if he stunk it up in year two of that deal. So if he scored 15 goals and 40 points in 15-16 and the Jackets still wanted to keep him, feeling he could rebound,they'd have to pay him $6mil. Jackets want to protect themselves. Obviously, if he had a great two years, the point is moot but Jackets watching out for their best interests.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I can be avail any time on weekend.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

makes sense, thanks.

yeah if he has a 40 point season in 15-16 i can't imagine they'd want to keep him around. i guess they're worried about an injury shortened season.

One sec guys. I will have a solution to everyone's problem in 2 minutes,

Re: The NHL Thread
 

They might want to keep him, thinking he might rebound, but not at $6mil. Now, at the $3mil per season they want to sign him for? Easier to stomach that qualifying offer on hope he'd rebound from a bad season.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TIMES ARE PACIFIC TIME. YOU MAY NEED TO DO SOME MATH. NO BITCHING THAT YOU THOUGHT IT WAS EASTERN TIME (My subtle way of fighting that east coast bias).

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol Sweet. I'll actually be available Saturday morning, and I'll update the Sunday times a bit later.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

that's true.
im 99% sure this deal gets done and he is in the lineup opening night.
my biggest concern at this point is how little he seems to believe in his ability to continue at last year's pace.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I'm fine all weekend.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Timmy. Read Datsyuk out 4-5 weeks. Shoulder sep.

It's pretty ridiculous how freakin good the Central is.
