Necas re-ups 2 x 6.5.

UFA in two years. Smart move on his part. He’ll get cake.

IMO Konecny is a more complete, more consistent, more durable player.

I'd take Konecny over Brock. He's played with far poorer centers than Boeser. He plays with a bit of bite and he drives play.

I like Konecky, and agree with Blob that he plays with more of a bite and is a better play driver. But at the same time, he's Horvat-like when it comes to using his teammates.

I don't think he is "more complete" than Boeser; he's different. Boeser plays with a very high IQ, with and without the puck, and is a better playmaker and has a better shot. Konecny is pretty ineffective on the power play; Brock is good on the PP, screening, hand on rebounds, etc. While Konecny hasn't played with as much skill, Boeser plays a game skilled players love to play with, Konecny not so much.

Konecny plays a more kinetic game; Boeser's game has become quite cerebral. Konecny is a dangerous penalty killer (can cause turnovers and turn them into goals); Brock doesn't kill penalties and would haven't that hop if he did.

They are both good players players who are on the edge of what you want out of a core player, but that's certainly Konecny's role in Philly because there's not much else there (will be interested to see Michkov).

Yeah I guess I included grit / toughness in the more complete package. He definitely has that going for him.

Also, he led the league in shorties last year, Brock doesn't kill penalties. As you say, Brock has added these 'more complete' attributes to his game quite recently. Hats off ton him for his diligence and dedication to his craft.

That is a very tradable contact that takes him to the big payday 1st Ufa deal two years down the pipe. Reminds me of the Miller numbers when Vancouver acquired him (4 x $5.25M).

Burns and Orlov come off the books in a year getting up $13M for renegotiation can begin of the isn't traded.

Habs re-sign the JackEye for 2yrs/$2.6M

Canucks scouts should start making some Costco runs.

Who did Rob Blake trade Faber for again? Kevin Fiala? Wonder if he’d like a do-over on that one? Not sure about Blake as a GM. Coulda done a whole lot better with the Toffoli asset. The acquisition of Dubios was downright awful and giving up on Faber? Drafting Turcotte instead of Seider? How does Blake still have a job there? He better hope Kopitar and Doughty don’t retire soon.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing Chef. It was Faber and a 2022 first for Fiala. Throw in the Dubois trade and some questionable drafting in the first round and you have to think Blake has a very strong bond with the ownership there. Most people would be fired with a track record like that.

Faber AND a 1st? Holy Shitstorm Batman?!?!

yeah, but HF is a gathering place and wretched hive of haters, scum and villainy. If you post there, you must be cautious.

HAHA, mostly snot-nosed geeks, but you're not wrong.

The Rangers have signed tough defenseman Ryan Lindgren to a one year contract worth $4.5.

I do believe that walks him to UFA status next summer. There should be a lot of interest in his services if the Rangers don't sign him first.

Yeah, I have noticed that too Doc.

He does seem to be quickly wearing out his welcome there.

Blobby is a staunch defender of Mr Robert Blake...I think he like the big ol' ghetto booty hip checks he used to lay out. I bet he's shaped like the Rootbear
