@jonah_fleisher @RizNHL For them, the value of passing on the knowledge of “how to win” is an abstract concept. In the end, this will be an incredible move for the Blackhawks. I just hope that Kane’s real legacy is to help the next wave of Blackhawks build their own dynasty era.

@jonah_fleisher @RizNHL For fanbases that haven’t won a cup in a couple of decades, which is the majority of the NHL teams’ fanbases btw, they just can’t comprehend the value of this addition. For them, the evaluation criteria are things such as contract value, AAV, Cap Hit, Goals, Points, Age etc.

@MatthenOG @benchrates Whether it’s a skill or an opportunity issue, we will find out in a few months.

[Aziz Rehmatullah @RehmatullahAziz]

@MatthenOG @benchrates By the time his contract kicks in, Q Hughes/ Makar will have reset the market to $15m+. Years 4-6 of this contract will be very good value for the Blackhawks. And he doesn’t need to reach Makar level stats for that. If he can be a 50-55 points top pairing D, that will be a W.

@Leafs_Tok @Leegrasemann Context matters! May be it’s a 1-2m overpayment, but it doesn’t preclude Blackhawks from doing anything in the short or long term. What kids will learn playing alongside Kane cannot really be quantified with data/tools. FWIW, his last contract with Detroit was $7m with bonuses.

[Aziz Rehmatullah @RehmatullahAziz]

@MatthenOG @benchrates Because … 90% of his points are 5 on 5. You add 15-20 power play points to the total, you are sitting at 60 points with Byram. That’s very doable and protectable.

[Aziz Rehmatullah @RehmatullahAziz]

@RyanmcgregorCHI Technically, you can also add Frondell to the list as a potential impact player next season.

[Aziz Rehmatullah @RehmatullahAziz]

@Leafs_Tok @Leegrasemann Overpayment is only relevant if it prevents the team from making other moves. In this case, it clearly does not. They still have more cap space than 25 other teams this season, and next season. Whether they have 6m or 9m in unused cap space is irrelevant.

@tmatthewshockey @FriedgeHNIC Refreshing to see such a positive comment. Normally, all you see is trolls, doomsayers, or click baiters.

[Aziz Rehmatullah @RehmatullahAziz]

@TyManHawksFan @CRoumeliotis He will play in Vancouver. 1-2 times each season, and for a few weeks during the summer.

[Aziz Rehmatullah @RehmatullahAziz]

@CRoumeliotis This is good! But there is another nuance to it. In year 5 of the contract, Matthews was still 13.6%. Bedard will be under 11% depending on how the cap goes up. Bedard’s deal is more team friendly.

@ByScottPowers @jayzawaski I am happy to take him to the airport right now.

@bigdipenergy @shahh The value of gold is mostly driven by the gold bars held in reserves, not by its industrial or jewelry applications. If the price of gold goes down by 90%, no one is going to want it as jewelry because it will stop being a status symbol.

@BenPopeCST These comments have aged really well.

@CRoumeliotis Is this an AI generated image?

[Aziz Rehmatullah @RehmatullahAziz]

@GregBoysen Greg, challenge is that you’ll have a higher SV% than team Canada is looking for 🤣

@HawkHockey11 @Harian_Mossa

[Aziz Rehmatullah @RehmatullahAziz]

@HawkHockey11 @Harian_Mossa Sandwiched right in between Makar and Quinn Hughes and just a few spots above Lane Hutson. Not bad company.

[Aziz Rehmatullah @RehmatullahAziz]

@IvanHimidov Oh you mean the only defenseman of his class that has a positive goal differential this year? He’s doing pretty good.

[Aziz Rehmatullah @RehmatullahAziz]

@TheProspectDon @tankathon I really hope these are not the picks. Need to see some progress.
