Carlson maybe overpaid imo

 

I don't know...I mean, probably in an ideal world he's been overpaid, but considering who's on the market and who's not, how important he's to the team (not only as a player on the ice) and the general trend -and rules- of the NHL salaries (as I wrote a few days ago, the cap for the next season is expected to increase up to 80 millions US $ from 75 millions of the last campaign) I guess it's pretty in line with a player and team leader of his caliber...

however, I'm curious to see what happens with the Caps, after Trotz left for the Islanders (and I just can't imagine what happens in Long Island if Tavares opt for another team on July 1st)...

a few more news about the NHL offseason moves...

 

first of all, the Tavares saga is not yet to the end...he needs (at least) another day to eat his own words from earlier this year, before explaining the Islanders fans he won't play anymore for that serial losers...:whistle::lol::rofl::facepalm:

https://www.nhl.com/news/john-tavares-decision-will-likely-take-another-day/c-299335806

 

then, Barry Trotz has finally found his successor in Washington...and he is, as the players wanted, his former assistent Todd Reirden (which means that Ovi and Backstrom are the new real co-coaches of the team :pope::whistle::lol:)...

https://www.nhl.com/news/todd-reirden-named-coach-of-washington-replaces-barry-trotz/c-299341596

 

finally, Drew Doughty agrees to 8-year contract extension with the Los Angeles Kings (terms undisclosed, since he can't officially sign until July 1st)...:cheer::bounce::bounce::bounce:

    • France out , the first time in 20 years 
    • I think the Dutch men (especially in long distances) are simply not good enough. We've been leaders in long distances for decades, but we've always had great talents like De Jong, Romme, Bergsma, Kramer, and Roest. They're not around right now, so we're focusing more on short distances, but there's a certain Stolz who reigns supreme.   What I've noticed is that many newcomers (Jilek, Lubineaud etc) originally come from inline skating. The Netherlands should look into that too. We also need to be open to new training methods, like those of the Swede Nils Svensson, who won two gold medals in Beijing with a unique training regime.   Good luck with Ghiotto, I will definitely cheer for him: such a friendly person and a beautiful skater. He really deserves a gold medal.

    • If that draw seemed a surprise for us, what should we say about their last 2 matches, wins against City and Atletico Ok, with City is somehow understandable due tu low temperatures in Norway, but last night they won in Madrid against Atletico...unbelivable
    • First look at the ski jumping Olympic venue
    • I like the new format, goal here or there can change the full table standing. great night yesterday. 
    • Group 1  8 PTS Qualified to SF  8 PTS Qualified to SF  5 PTS qualified to Wch  4 PTS  3 PTS  2 PTS   GROUP 2    8 PTS Qualified to SF  7 PTS Qualified to SF  7 PTS Qualified to Wch  4 PTS  2 PTS  2 PTS   SF games:  VS  VS      
    • The all Dutch men seemed out of form in Inzell. Could this mean some intense strength training during this period? Overall, I think that, the progress in the men's long-distance events has been incredible since last year and I have the impression that both Ghiotto and the Netherlands team haven't caught on to some new equipment updates? The times achieved this season by: Eitrem, Jilek, Lubinaud, Semyrunyyi and Davson are incredible in terms of time progress year by year. But considering the financial potential of the Netherlands, I'm surprised they could have to by left behind technologically? Unfortunately, this doesn't surprise me in Italy's case, as we don't even have a single indoor track to test our technological innovations – the one in Milan is currently inaccessible even to the hosts. Of course, if Italy were a normal country, who supported their own athletes, the track in Milan should have been available only for the Italian team for many months ago, where would be testing various innovations there, but unfortunately that is not the case, because we live where we live
