    I'm not so familiared with that stat, but don't those percentiles look bad? They're all average no?

    Yeah I know you like him, and I get it, he's no bum. Just not that high on him.

    I agree it's a gamble to trust the FA market but I think for the MLE there's always 4/5 guys. And we probably will be a coveted destination giving our glaring need at the 4.

    the defensive percentiles are good. not great (like say, kessler's), but good. generally better than say, petyon watson's.

    not that far off from dort:

    it's clear we're prioritizing youth, but washington's 27, not over 30 or something. his deal takes him to 31, where, yes, he'll have dropped off. but he'll be expiring then, and we may be in full rebuild at that point.

    I think they’re already looking ahead to Luka’s supermax and potentially retaining Adou and Sexton. When you add the MLE and BAE to the above. You don’t have much money.

    Theoretically it can work, you can add PJ to the above but you’d need to get rid of Vando and have no BAE, which means you might not be able to retain a Jake or Ziaire if they’re any good.

    Who knows at this point;the team was just sold for 12 billion dollars. The new owners have no ties to the old guard like Walter did. I expect them to evaluate everything this season, and go from there. They may have different ideas about,how we should operate;salary cap wise and everything else.

    We'll see.
