Re: What is <i>up</i> with your team? –– non-SCF edition

If Tampa deals anyone, it's probably Bishop, and he's going to be a 6 mil+ guy (I see him getting what Quick has at the least, which is 5.8 mil), so I can see why they would be hesitant about going that route. There are still better options than Cam Ward (who was at a .909 on the year). Jhonas Enroth, who will probably be available too, had a .917 or .918 for the year and he's probably going to want about what they gave Ward.

It's so weird to me just because the Canes have made so many other GOOD decisions.

Dean Lombardi seems like he has really terrible people management skills.


He used to be an agent and before that a lawyer, so blood-sucking is in his nature.

I think Dean Lombardi's philosophy is to see all the players as pieces before he sees them as people,

Idk, given his propensity to weep over them. He does seem to have a very strange emotional relationship to them, though.

I hate quoting John Hoven, because he's such an ass, but I don't think he did okay it or at least not until he was given no choice. He said Brown was blind-sided the other week when he was told he was losing the C and was kind of questioning how it was possible he didn't notice the writing on the wall. FWIW, Hoven also said he was told that in that meeting that his contract was untradeable. The Kings apparently tried all this past season.

I do agree that at least this will keep us safe from people talking about Doughty getting it.

The thing that bothers me is I've seen in a couple of places that they told Kopitar when he signed his new deal that he was going to be made captain, and my feelings onDustin Brown aside, I'm bothered by the idea that you'd sell out your current captain that way.

Is that something you've seen on Twitter? I haven't seen that, but that's one place I don't go.

That seems incredibly shitty, wtf. And just a bad way to do business.

This seems obvious expansion draft bait to me. Because you have to offer up a goalie in the expansion draft, and there are rules about players being under contract for the 2017-18 and how much salary you offer up and how many games played they have, as well. Maybe Carolina can't meet the salary rules otherwise.

This is where I saw it. Not sure if there were other sources too.

I don't know where I saw it first - it's here too - http://mayorsmanor.com/2015/12/anze-kopitar-contract-nearly-done-with-la-kings/

But after reading that other article it was probably Friedman.

That's the weird thing!! He's like half cold-hearted bastard and half "you are all my children and I love you so very much please don't ever disappoint me."

I feel like he's that kind of obsessively "loving" right until the moment a player disappoints him (or there's a substantially better player/offer on the table), and then he becomes the cold-hearted bastard.

I love the idea of him texting "this reminded me of u" until Giroux just gets to damn curious lol.

Maybe I'm missing something, but both of those just say that the Kings were probably going to be making Kopitar captain. There's nothing in them about promising it to Kopitar or saying it to Kopitar when he signed his contract or even during negotiations.

I see a kidfic royalty AU, an Olympics gangbang, the daemon thing and an arranged marriage.

I can't wait until these fics go live. I'm going to have a hard time not binge reading when I should be doing other things.

Maybe I'm not following your point, but this puts him in a position where the Hurricanes would have to choose whether or not to protect him, so they could, I guess, be forcing him into the draft? Rather than having him be a free agent. Or the could have just... not signed him. You're not required to protect anyone, there are just limits on who you can protect, and, idk, maybe the players would side eye a team that didnt max it's protection claims? But whatever, it's not any more or less business than any other trade decision.

Stars trade Goligoski's rights to Arizona for (of course) a fifth round pick.

I feel content with this but also, sad. Goose was a scapegoat for a long while and he's underrated. Enjoy the sun, Goose.

Yeah, but the point is they would choose not to protect him when the time comes (if the AYRT's theory is correct). If they found a really solid duo they trusted completely going forward, they wouldn't be able to protect them both when the time came.

Aw, Goose. He was actually the one I thought they might hold onto of the UFAs.

I hope he does well there. I think he will; by all accounts he's a good locker room guy and he's generally good at what he does. It's just that he often seemed to make mistakes that were a) obvious and b) catastrophic.

Lombardi said he believes Brown can get his game back. @helenenothelen asked about a buyout. Lombardi said not at this time

Oh god, here we go again...

Same. Now I'm thinking they hold onto Demers.

That last part might as well describe all the Dallas D, though. Good until NOT GOOD.

I think he will be better where he doesn't have to play top pairing every night.
