It probably Evgeni Malkin who had 10 goals, 18 assists for 28 points, 1 more than Crosby and NHL scoring leader in the post season, +5 more than Crosby too. Jake Guentzel who lead the playoffs in goals of which 5 (also the lead) were game winners. Rookie record in both aswell I believe.
Man when it is that close you are going to give it to the captain. Sure they could have given it to Malkin for one more point. I don't know enough but the underlying numbers but I'm assuming Crosby played vs the better competition and drove more possession. No one really stood out in the finals other than Murray and no way he winning it. Not saying Crosby 100% deserved it but it is far from a travesty that he got it. He probably would have got my vote given the circumstances. I mean it is basically captain/best player from team wins it unless someone else killed it.
Now that I read the other posts it should have gone to shutlz! just to give it a little to Lowe and Mactavish.

Time to come back to the OP:

With Las Vegas announced as an expansion franchise and the expansion draft occurring June 21st, 2017, teams are going to into full draft dodge mode. Money is being burned on players not worthy of it, contract length is insane and trades make no sense. All in an effort to use the protected status on the good players and leave these god awful shit contracts exposed to drafting.
So, who do you think will be a Las Vegas Golden Knights by the start of 2018?
Fleury just waived his no-movement clause.

Girardi is getting bought out by NYR
|
Poor man's Justin Schultz imo.
|
Man schultz has upped his profile to have statememts like that made. He used to be thought of as one of the worst.
Massive trade drouin is now a canadian.
Lightning get sergachev and a conditional second.
I give mtl the win
|
Yeah definitely for now unless sergachev turns into a top pairing damn.
|
That's the kind of trade that can get a GM fired.
|
Any trade can if the other player works out super well. The other factor to lightning doing this is they were likely to lose Palat to Vegas if they didn't trade a forward. Also, in the new world of caps they were going to lose someone when you have stamkos hedman and now Kucherovs next deal will be massive. Then you have Johnson, what do they pay Vasilsky and so on.
I would rather be MTL on this deal, but I think the cap and expansion draft tied Yzermans hands somewhat.
|
I'm not a big fan of Sergachev so im super happy with this deal. I've seen about 70 games of Sergachev and his defensive IQ is questionable, it takes him way too long to make plays.. his decision making is just super slow. He won't get those extra 2-3 seconds that he needs to make a play in the NHL, that's gonna hurt him a lot imo.
If Sergachev turns into a legit top pairing dman then i'll give the edge to Tampa (because dmen are worth more than wingers).. but Drouin is already a legit 1st liner in my eyes and he still has a ton of untapped potential. Like i said i'm not even sure how well Sergachev can transfer over his play-style to the NHL, he still needs to work a ton on his game.

most people seem to think Sergachev is at worst a lock for a top 4 dman. This was a product of the cap situation. As mentioned above, Kucherov was getting that 3rd monster contract. Johnson and Palat are gonna command big hunks of money too
|
Don't be surprised if Galchenyuk for Brodin ends up happening. Montreal needs a defensive LD (who can skate well) that can play with Weber, Minny can't protect all their dmen so they're probably gonna move 1 (most think it'll be Dumba but we don't need him, certainly not for Galchenyuk). Galchenyuk is also born in Milwaukee.
That said i'm not a big fan of Galchenyuk either . He's a puck hog who's garbage defensively, i really hope he gets moved.
|
Schultz getting tanked by himself at the parade lol
|
He deserves it! He went from almost out of NHL to getting himself a BIG next contract.
|
he's a perfect example of what good player usage can do to someone. Though Edmonton had no choice but to put him vs top opponents during his time there
|
Vegas should take Brodin and Dumba and then flip them both for Justin Schultz.
Then ice a team of just goalies and Schultz and finish ahead of Colorado. Easy.
|
lotta dumbass protections. Howard over Mzerak. Matt Martin and Ryan Reaves over anyone.
|
I read Mrazek has a HUGE ego and at first they liked it because they thought it showed confidence and he wouldn't rattle. After sub 900 SV% and +3 GAA they couldn't stand him and hoping to get out from his contract.
|
a lot of teams have deals in place with Vegas, NYI wouldn't leave De Haan and Nelson exposed otherwise.
