The players have a hand in this, too. Who knows, they might have even been the ones to put this forward. Maybe going from getting paid in full by one team to being split between three wasn’t well liked. Either way, it’s the fans that lose.

I don’t know if there is a good format, but only the NHL has things move this slowly.

This is going to complicate things. Leave it to the NHL to make things that fans enjoy less likely to happen.

It’s going to age poorly. He’s a 50 pt guy in the regular season.

Doyle’s not really a cap dump. I’m sure other teams were interested. Just no one else would also take Wood’s ridiculous contract.

Bullet dodged. That’s not going to age well.

Definitely banking on the rebound there. He's a good add, but also, is he what the Habs needs? Seems to me like they need more help up front.

Only ~$500k more than Frederic!

No complaints about this one. Still leaves the team with lots of room to maneuver.

Let’s see the numbers…

It's an insane contract for Frederic. It might not look too bad near the end if the cap keeps going up and he can regain some of his offensive output, but, near-term, it's bad - especially for a team with cap issues and prominent contract situations they need to get resolved. Unless they move...

But, then, what will McDavid do?

Peterka is a reasonable statistical comparison for Knies. This deal might help the Leafs’ cause.

Buffalo getting great value again. :rolleyes:

Been that way for a couple years now. Still too many, though.

Won't surprise me if Vancouver is close enough to think they have a shot at the playoffs at the deadline. They'll probably be in a position where they feel the need to stand pat.

More than a bit. Without moving out cap, they can't do much beyond retaining Bouchard.

HHOF only cares about when your career ended, not when your contract did
