I haven’t looked into it, do we know why Gru isn’t back in Denver? Sakic put his foot down on paying a goalie that much?
To me, it just seems like most teams have a general amount they are willing to pay one or two goalies. Columbus never offered Bob once they realized his agent was starting at a place too high for them. I think with the premium on defensive players that can score or drive play, starting centers, and then scoring on the wings, something has to give in the cap world. I think the Blues winning confirmed some things for front offices. Load management and cap percentages just seem to be going away from goalies. Seattle needed to spend somewhere with how they executed the expansion draft.
yeah pretty much what Michael said...also he has an injury history too I think? GMs are realizing that goaltending is voodoo unless you're Vasilevsky or something
Got my access code text thing or whatever to try and get Kraken tickets tomorrow morning and I will 100% forget to look / get in the queue and will miss out
got my kraken tix. it was actually a very easy process. probably because they're playing the Ducks on a Thursday lol.
Excited for him to go on insane reactionary rants during halftimes and espn to still get called libtards by morons lol
Yep, forgot to look when tickets launched. Still many seats available for the home opener! Will only cost you a few grand per seat. Cheapest I saw was 2K to sit on a bar stool way up in the middle of nowhere. Almost tempting if it wasn’t a bar stool lmao
Fitz has brought us: a #1 DMan in Dougie Hamilton A solid top 4 young-ish LHD in Ryan Graves one of the better backup goalies in the league in Jonathan Bernier A top 6 winger in Tomas Tatar A potential future #1 star DMan in Luke Hughes all in the span of like, 3 weeks #SummerOfFitzy
Dude, Francis created an entire fucking team! Seattle went from Luke Henman to Vince Dunn, Grubs, Gourde, and a bunch of other players! No one picked up more people than him! That’s crazy! #summeroffrancis (I am joking btw)
I'm excited to go to Devils games. I'll still cheer against them, but at least the games will be fun.
