@GenoManager@Byron_D11 I don't mean it as a bad thing. But why do you think the habs are so desperate to get a 2C and linemates for demi. he needs help. he doesn't drive a line, he does create but not by himself. Leo (or any powerful center) can drive entire lines and teams. easier to build around
@DucksFanZone At that point just let him go. Imagine paying 18M and harbouring resentment or trust issues
It’s the highest salary ever. Anyone would take it. Grow up
@oilersdailyy Verbeek obviously said that because people were already presenting offer sheets, it was his only way to stop ppl from pursuing further
Nobody expected the highest ever contract in history to be sheeted lol
@FanMontanaro People keep acting like this happens every day. Chances are nobody would have gotten offer sheeted anyways. This is a rare situation, it’s not like it’s a new thing that teams are doing 24/7 lol
People need to chill. Anaheim and Philly have history
@GenoManager@Byron_D11 The difference is leo is a center that can carry a team. Demi is an elite complimentary player but you can’t really build around only him. He needs the Suzukis and hutsons
@gallymeroreboot boo hoo sometimes hard decisions have to be made
it makes the league more exiting for everyone.
nobody wants a sterile, friendly pillowfight sport.
this alone has made the entire offseason and next season 10x more interesting.
@Bancrypto__ wait til your like 6 months in and think you're on top and then go on a hellish downward bender where nothing wins and you keep tryna double up and end up losing all your winnings from the last months lmao
that's how sports betting is
@MattDTalksSport everyone so quick to blame GM's, i feel like if he could have locked him up earlier he would. Maybe Carlsson genuinely wanted to see what was available rather than sign for minimum. He was taking offers from MULTIPLE teams. it was probably Leo's choice all along
@DucksDaily93 tbf ducks are much better off signing carlsson and letting cutter walk (if it comes to that) then the other way around
cutter is much easier to replace via trade or picks than leo is
@agentmma gaethje just beat what was the #2 P4P fighter in the ufc. losing to a '37 year old' gaethje as proof he's going downhill is the dumbest take from a fight fan. gaethje was arguably khabib's toughest opponent. the only reason he lost to max was cus of a broken nose
@destryswaim0616@NHL_Muse yea, the reason is because it actually puts anaheim in a tight spot and creates leverage. Chicago has hella cap space and is way more likely to match. Anaheim could survive without leo, chicago won't survive without bedard. there's no leverage there.
