August 4, 20177 yr comment_281203 I'd expect Buffalo to get a long-term deal done with Eichel, at least that's the smart play.  This is the NHL. You don't drag your feet with young star, potentially superstar talents, that you've drafted yourself.  The dude's 20 and is a PPG guy already.  You sign a bridge, what benefit do you expect?  Couple extra $M each season in cap?  The safety net in case he suddenly falls off the map?  Not worth ticking off your franchise guy, IMHO.

If he'll do a deal where he gets $6M to $7M for his RFA years and $10M for his UFA years, you're probably going to sign that.

Year 1: 7.0 2: 7.5 3: 7.5 4: 8.5 5: 8.5 6: 9.0 7: 10.0 8: 10.0 8 years, $68M for an $8.5M AAV. Â Seems somewhat reasonable. Â Only possible downfall is if he becomes a band-aid, locker-room cancer or a cokehead. Â The skill is definitely there.
August 8, 20177 yr comment_281860 oh this is a shame to hear http://www.tsn.ca/former-nhl-f-olczyk-diagnosed-with-cancer-1.825222
August 11, 20177 yr comment_282456 Good guy, Â I'm glad we have players like him playing for the Jets.

I think Chevy (like O'shea) both value guys who are good "team" guys and good "community" guys more then others.. when I see the roster stocked with the Perraults, Schief (before we evolved into the player he is now...) stewie, little and Wheels... these guys value that team mentality and fighting for each other and they often have a very good sense of community..

August 15, 20177 yr comment_283619 Why is Vegas raiding Winnipeg? Did Gary have anything to do with this? lol Its too bad, I liked Hnidy! Â
August 15, 20177 yr Author comment_283622 Quite a few Winnipeg connections to the Vegas organization now. As they say, getting a job is more often about who you know not what you know. And as you alluded to earlier, Gary seems to be doing quite well down there as illustrated with his tweet: If you don’t like the Manitoba winters, Vegas isn’t a bad place to be.  I like Hnidy as a broadcaster, brought an interesting perspective as an ex-player.  Wish him well in Vegas.
August 15, 20177 yr comment_283628 was never a Hnidy fan, but do enjoy how much Manitoba connection there is to Vegas. They are absolutely going to be one of my favourite teams going forward. Jets, Oilers, Leafs, Hawks, and now we can add Vegas....will be fun to follow!
