Wasn't sure which thread to post this in: NHL, Coronavirus, or The Donald.

And Dallas have pushed their first 3 game back due to positive tests.

Barzal signs at 3x7 according to Friedman.

That's a nice deal for the Isles.  He's still an RFA at the maturity of this deal.

Not really though. Because they have to qualify him Barzal could just take his qualifying offer when this deal is up(which would be 8.4 million), play for a year and walk. So NYI would have effectively no leverage in negotiating with him that summer. In fact, they'd probably have to come up with something pretty sweet to get him to not do that.

Sure, having Barzal for four years at 7,7,7,8.4 isn't the worst thing in the world but they are giving him a lot of power for his next deal.

Pretty sure the Marner contract did shift the salary playing field more dramatically than most people recognize
- Brayden Point - rich bridge
- Patrik Laine - rich bridge and trade request
- Matthew Tkachuk - rich bridge
- Mikko Rantanen - reasonably discounted Marner deal
- Pierre Luc-Dubois - somewhat rich bridge and trade request
- Mat Barzal - holding out on Lou, looking for $10M+ long term, or rich bridge

Matt Martin will still be there for Barzal?s next contract if there is one

Yes, that's right, half of the best players on Canadian teams play for Montreal, including both Gallaghers. And also Joel Edmunson is better than Giordano and Rielly.

I mean I'm not sure what you expect from a troll account.

That's a lot of names.

Also I guess Gauthier officially signed with Arizona then.

 

[WAYNEINIONA]

Montreal put Perry on waivers. I thought that was supposed to be another brilliant acquisition by the Habs.
