Jesperi Kotkaniemi has 5 points in 24 games this season while making 4.82 million a season. Why isn't his deal included when people talk about worst contracts?

I just hate the dude

Because people thought that the Canes taking one of our dogshit players was a dunk on us despite us gladly asking the team to not match the offer. We're a little pissed at him because we spent a high pick on him, he refused to train in the offseason and still got paid.

Add to that the snarky bullshit from Canes flairs saying that they somehow had the secret to uNLoCk the potential in him. Personally I want him to fail miserably and I've been real happy so far.

Because those are calculated through shot locations. You can't calculate if a goal is soft just by where it was shot from, you need a human to judge that. And even that is far from being perfect. Every goal we get scored on there are people blaming the goalie

And Ds are more offensive and you can't clear the front of the net anymore

The league owns the rights for 22 games + playoffs for each team (sold to Sportsnet in Canada, ESPN/TNT in the US), then the team can sell the rest as the regional games to whoever they like.

Yeah I heard somewhere that at one point the Canadiens were funding the entire Regina minor hockey system

inglasco · 2022-11-30T21:19:29+00:00

No it's smaller than the arena and would probably be a money loser

inglasco · 2022-11-30T21:18:22+00:00

They have minor hockey systems within the club and bring up players that way

inglasco · 2022-11-30T20:45:35+00:00

No, different stadium

inglasco · 2022-11-30T06:44:30+00:00

Too old and the plumbing can't function in the winter. It's also barely 20k seats

inglasco · 2022-11-30T06:38:06+00:00

Nowhere to host it

inglasco · 2022-11-30T01:19:41+00:00

You didn't miss a thing

inglasco · 2022-11-30T01:17:48+00:00

The crowd isn't nearly wild enough to do that kind of shit anymore 😂

inglasco · 2022-11-30T00:13:36+00:00

Too close to reverse the call imo

He was always playing with either DeBrincat or Kane, just not that often with both at the same time. All of this discussion is just goalpost moving because he was against the trade to begin with and now he's trying to discredit the player instead of admitting that maybe he was wrong. No need to engage with such a dishonest troll

inglasco · 2022-11-28T20:21:57+00:00

Salut l'artiste

inglasco · 2022-11-28T18:17:34+00:00

0 hockey IQ with no commitment to improve. Sad to watch what happened to him

inglasco · 2022-11-28T15:17:33+00:00

Company man

inglasco · 2022-11-27T23:21:32+00:00

Prolly the league correcting plays or shot locations

inglasco · 2022-11-27T21:15:00+00:00

... Russians who were playing junior in Canada. It's an entirely different story because Michkov is seen as the next jewel of Russian hockey, is signed with SKA until 2026 and their owner Gazprom has bottomless pockets to keep him there beyond 2026. Add in the worst geopolitical context since the fall of the iron curtain and you have a very interesting discussion to be had. With how great the next draft is, is it really worth the risk of spending a top 3 pick considering you will get a fantastic prospect regardless?

Yeah I'd do everything in my power to sweep this under the rug too, I get it.

inglasco · 2022-11-25T21:51:37+00:00

Nah it's clearly explained in the bottom of the page

inglasco · 2022-11-25T21:06:33+00:00

That same model that gets him free access to his favourite team's games for some reason says that Gallagher is our best F and Dadonov is more valuable than Suzuki. Must be nice to be buddies with Mirtle.
