100% and a goalie could be a hundred times worse. A player (skate) can just go out there and play hard and hopefully he works his way out of it. A goalie can’t do anything but stand in there and try to stay out of his own head. Much worse, especially if fans turn on him when he’s losing games. He’s already to the point of alienating himself from the organization ant the fans. We have two good goalies behind him and camp’s starting with or without him. Wondering at what point is he an UFA. My only hope is that 10 million number is total BS. I wonder would the Bruins organization quietly put that out there as a tactic? I know back in the day it was done all the time.

You wouldn’t think they would do something like that after giving their starting goalie the heave ho out of town like they did. Apparently though now your salary is based more upon what the cap is now and in the future rather than what you’ve actually done in the past.

A scary thought what his number might come in at (especially if Oilers somehow win the Cup in next year or two). There won't be a discount taken there I don't think!

I suppose if the cap goes up 3-4 million a year though some of these teams won't be too bothered with that extra going to the stars to lock 'em down!

In other sports the stars are getting 300 mil contracts or more , Hockey Players are being hosed by the cap $104M of Leon Draisaitl's $112M contract, which kicks in next season, is to be paid out in signing bonuses. His annual salary starting 2025-26 season is $1M.

In 15 years, the NHL has gone from the highest paid player making $10m to $16.5m AAV. In that time...
The NBA went from 23m to 63m. The NFL went from 15.3m to 55m. MLB went from 33m to 70m.
How Leon Draisaitl's $14M annual average salary would rank per sport in 2024. #oilers
NHL- 1 NFL - 92 MLB - 99 NBA - 117

Like running into an oak tree. Yeah I miss Old School toughness, not a fan of the fake toughness in today’s game . He was a legend on so many levels.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed restricted free agent Nick Robertson to a one-year, $875,000 contract.
The move ends a stalemate between the two sides that has lasted since Robertson requested a trade from the team on June 30. The 22-year-old winger will once again be scheduled for restricted free agency next summer.

On Max Pacioretty: While #Leafs work through some salary cap issues, there is an expectation from both sides that Pacioretty will be a Maple Leaf this season.

Kailer Yamamoto was one of the players the Boston Bruins considered signing to a professional tryout (PTO) contract. Now, that can be forgotten, as the skilled winger has instead signed a PTO with the Utah Hockey Club.
