Hell yea this tool is sick

Dan Vladar this season: $8.6M Level $5.5M Contribution Reg $2.3M Contribution Playoffs Of course, the team could have chosen 3 years, but he has significantly exceeded $5M, and it would be difficult to implement #LetsGoFlyers

On the one hand, it would be too much for the 33 y.o. (turns July) veteran. On the other hand, the market is very thin, so many teams are looking for a TOP-6 center, and this one is signed at just $5.625m Anyway, Vincent Trocheck is an attractive option for #GoKingsGo. In 2023-24, Trocheck and Artemi Panarin scored 74 combined goals (41 at 5v5) and 197 combined goals (99 at 5v5) by playing the TOP line with Peter Laviolette behind the bench. It's worth giving them another try on the West Of course, it would work only if the LAK aren't on the no trade list #GoKingsGo

Seems, #GoBolts need to give more terms/money to extend Darren Raddysh. 6 x $6m may still not be enough $36m turns into an amount similar to $42m with average taxes. Some teams would definitely offer him 6 x $7m. And 5 x $9m would be more lucrative, and he can find it

Unfortunately, Jacob Markstrom has faced a decline since the trade to #NJDevils. SV% dropped from .905 to .900 to .883. GSAx dropped from 12.330 to -0.358 to -15.056 It is difficult to get to the best at 36. But the new challenge could help him turn things around and play at a $6m level

Playoffs are almost over, Matt Boldy is still leading on ixG 1. Matt Boldy 8.724 #MNWild 2. Mitch Marner 8.675 #ForgedInGold 3. Seth Jarvis 7.955 #SoundTheSiren 4. Juraj Slafkovsky 7.815 #GoHabsGo 5.

Saturday morning, friends! And the Episode 2 of our friend @dominictiano podcast is coming soon 🚀 Tune in!

McTavish vs Lafrenière and everyone's out here debating analytics like this isn't actually a simple question McTavish is a buy low on a 23 year old possession monster whose 94th percentile Corsi screams top six center if you put him in the right system. He had trouble adjusting to Quenneville's system in Anaheim that's a coach problem not a player problem. As a junior aged player he showed a tantalizing power center skill set and he's still young enough that it's worth betting on a post hype breakout. Lafrenière meanwhile just dropped 57 points in 82 games with a 60 defensive rating and elite transition numbers. At 6'2" he could play fantastically alongside Demidov and Slafkovsky and into Martin St. Louis's coaching style. You want the proven two way winger who is more or less there, or the cost controlled center with the higher ceiling who just needs a reset and work? your calling Kent Hughes and asking for ???? #gohabsgo thanks again @benchrates for an awesome website

A 23 y.o. defenseman who plays both sides, logs 21-22 minutes per night, scored 40 points recently, and is signed at $8.35m for 5 more seasons. If Owen Power is available, teams in need of TOP-4 def should consider him #LetsGoBuffalo #Sabrehood

I have four things to say about this situation: 1. It is time, no question. And more importantly it's time for Darnell to get a fresh look somewhere else where he won't have quite so many preconceptions about him. 2. Every single one of you would have signed the contract Darnell did. His contract is not a reflection on him, nobody ever wants less money. It's a reflection of a team that backed themselves into a corner and panicked. That lesson could be important again this week. 3. Darnell Nurse is a leader both on and off the ice. He has been nominated for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy 4 times and a finalist twice. He's been a loyal soldier to this team for 12 seasons, despite some of the most egregious hate I've ever seen a player experience. 4. Be careful what you wish for, this could very well turn into a "one does not simply" situation. I wish Darnell the best wherever he lands, and I'm grateful for his contributions to the team through significant injuries and unrelenting pressure from an often turbulent fanbase. I have offered my own share of criticism of him over the years, but that was always with the perspective that there were good things he brought every single night.
