"You know, you’re hearing $14 million a year and $15M, $16M, depends on what the term is.” - David Pagnotta about Bedard's deal Even if he asks for $18M, they will give it to him. Regardless of any data, formulas, or models #Blackhawks #NHL

Nikolaj Ehlers' deal turned out to be almost 100% accurate in the first year: Cap Hit $8.5M, Paid Contribution $8.7M. Tulsky feels the market at his fingertips #SoundTheSiren #Canes #CarolinaCulture

Mike Bartner@MikeBartner

With Ehlers popping off last night, thought we’d look at 2025 UFA deals 1 year later!

@ForrestSavelen Well, of course, it depends on the amount of possession, but in different systems, permanent giveaways are not forgiven for everyone, even the TOP 6 players🤔

@benchrates It’s worth noting that offensive players from any position will always have the most turnovers because their role takes the most risks.

Kapanen for Strome 1 for 1

#AllCaps shouldn't trade Dylan Strome. He is a reliable option for middle-6. Even if his productivity faces a decline without Alex Ovechkin, he will likely score 40+ points and fit a 3C spot. And he is signed at a $5m for 2 more years, it is impossible to acquire a proven center at similar terms on the current market

"It was believed to be in the two- to three-year range with a cap hit in the vicinity of his current one, which is at $4.75 million" Ilya Mikheyev is going to look for better terms. On the one hand, it is fair money for 35-40 points per season, and it matches his 2023-25 level relatively to the future Cap ($104m). On the other hand, his Power Score is $5.7m this season, so he can find a higher overall value on the thin market #Blackhawks

@Patrick14571816 Of course. If it is a big move, he will be one of the assets in the package. The question was not about the entire package, it was about the ranking them🙂

Patrick Wolf@Patrick14571816·3d

@benchrates Mrtka alone isn't getting you anything. So he's the "obvious candidate" for being the minor part of a major deal. The guys you want to keep are the guys everyone wants.

Radim Mrtka is the most obvious candidate Konsta Helenius and Noah Ostlund played at a $5.2m level with a limited TOI (including 0:00 PP TOI/GP for Helenius and 1:20 for Ostlund), and it was the rookie season. The expectations are high, and I wouldn't trade them now And it would be better to stick with Jiri Kulich too. If he had stayed healthy and played during the team's turnaround, his numbers would have been better #LetsGoBuffalo #Sabrehood

Matthew Bové@Matt_Bove

If the Sabres are going to make a big move this offseason it’s almost certainly going to include at least one of these players: - Konsta Helenius - Noah Ostlund - Jiri Kulich - Radim Mrtka Rank them in order of most open to trading to absolutely not moving them.

It would be nice to look at Jason Robertson and Ivan Demidov on the line with the elite center (Michael Hage in a couple of years?) But not sure they are willing to pay him $12m given the money of the other core players #GoHabsGo

L’attaquant vedette pourrait devenir le partenaire idéal d’Ivan Demidov au sein du deuxième trio. 🧐👀⬇️ #GoHabsGo #Robertson #Demidov #NHL
