Kostin scored 11 goals in 57 games and another 3 in 12 playoff games playing pretty limited minutes. While doing the other things he does .I think it would be foolish to throw bad possession stats at him as a reason you think he's not worth keeping. You give him your number and that's the number. Given the league min will be 775, I don't think giving him a touch over 1 mill is an overpay. But that's just me. I like players that produce actual physical results where you can look at a game sheet and see what the guy did vs combing internet site and spreadsheets to try and figure out what the guy did on the ice.


Box scores win hockey drafts for the fans. Fancy stats win championships for the team. I have been converted.

I see a player who was on a 15 goal pace playing under 10 mins a night. In my opinion there is value in that. You need guys in your bottom 6 who aren't just out there killing time until your main guys are rested. They have to find away to make an impact in limited shifts. He did that. So I have a hard time throwing a guy away like that. But there is a limit to how much I would be willing to pay him given his high shooting percentage and at times mistakes. My limit would be around 1.25 mill at the most. He's still establishing himself as an NHLer but I can't ignore the fact he scored all those goals. I would tell him if you do what you did last year, we can talk extension next year when the cap goes up but they need to see more. Expecting a guy who scored at his pace playing as little mins as he did to take barely above league min, I think is completely ridiculous.

I see value in the box scores, I also see value in the fancy stats. I watched a player in JP for many years put up great fancy stats but he couldn't hit a wide open net. So I think there needs to be a bit of a balance between the 2.


I agree we need more of a balance. 6-5 games are entertaining, but give me a 3-1 victory everyday of the week. If JP could score he'd be a 5M player, but now he's a overpaid 3M skater. Like Kostin, but seeya later if you want to get paid after finally cracking an NHL lineup. His agent might be providing him some bad advice if he wants to remain in the NHL.

As a team, the Oilers need to play a bit tighter defensively but they still need guys in the bottom 6 who can produce and not need to be on McD's or Leon's wing. When you have McD and Leon, you are going to want their lines on the ice a lot. So their lines are going to get their 20 mins a night regardless of who's in the bottom 6 but they still need guys in their bottom 6 who in limited mins can produce. Kostin produced goals not being on McD or Leon's wing in very limited time. But my number is around 1.25 mill for Kostin. If he doesn't work out, while not ideal, you can bury that amount in the minors. But if he can get more of the trust of the coach and continue on scoring close too 15 goals, then they can talk about paying him a bit more.

The the Oilers are designed to win 6-5 in the regular season. This is confusing to people when the scoring inevitably dries up in the playoffs because the games get tighter and bad teams are no longer on the schedule for some reason. Klim stopping 15 goals and scoring 5 is far more important than Klim scoring 15 and stopping 5.

Interesting comparison, because JP and Kostin are polar opposites. One is good defensively and has good possession stats, but can't handle the puck. The other is a great shooter, but sucks in possession.

Kostin is a fun guy, but there is a reason why he was getting limited minutes. The coach couldn't trust him not to take a stupid penalty or to whiff on his defensive coverage. Despite his goals they didn't make up for his mistakes. I'm OK if they let him go, and I'm guessing Woody is too.

I don't think it's foolish at all. His shooting percentage was a hair under 20% last year. Do you think that's likely to continue? Teams make mistakes when they look at things like goals in isolation. Yes, he had decent goal production last year, but when you look at the analytics, he was getting killed whenever he was on the ice and the puck spent way too much time in his own zone. You could question whether that was a team issue, but relative to his peers, he's much worse which suggests some culpability. The shooting percentage piece is also pretty important. He was a 12% shooter the year before, did he suddenly just become more lethal? Or is maybe luck more of a factor, and is he primed for a regression?

If I'm a GM talking to an agent who's laying out why his client should get close to $2MM per year, I'm absolutely bringing up these concerns and explaining why the $1MM/year is really all I can do.

And if he's dead set on getting more, then it's time to move on, and I think I'd be pretty open about that. There's no point really negotiating if they're way out to lunch and I don't really believe that he's about to become one of the highest paid players in the KHL next year so I'd make a final offer - maaaaaaaybe stretching all the way to $1.1MM, and then I'd start looking at who the replacement candidates are on the market this summer.

I keep hearing that this free agent class isn't very good so I am curious to see if guys are going to get grossly overpaid more so that they usually do at this time of year. I see that the Leafs just resigned Kampf who scored 7 goals for them to a 4 yr deal at 2.5 mill. That seems like a pretty high price for a 4th line center. According to Mirtle, there was belief he could maybe get 3 mill on the open market. How is a 7 goal guy worth 3 mill?

That's an indication that they shouldn't have let Dubas leave. That's just a terrible deal.

Kampf is 28 years old, and has a career high of 27 points. There's a lot of bad GMs out there and one of the minefields is trying to build your lineup knowing that at any moment one of these morons could throw a massive offer at a guy who doesn't deserve it - and that always creates ripples.

That deal is reminiscent of the deal Matt Hendricks got from Nashville. He was a useful player and a good soldier, but he was destined to be badly overpaid from the second he signed it. We'll see if the Leafs don't end up having to pay to get rid of that at some point.

When I heard the trade I had to look the guy up because I'd never heard of him before but he plays in New Jersey. If he can score 20 or more like he did a year ago, it might not be a bad contract but if he's the 13 goal guy this past season, that doesn't look so great. I thought the Flames might get a little more for Toffoli just because of the season he just had and the free agent mark looks pretty weak so at just over 4.25 mill for a guy that can get you 25 goals, that's pretty decent value for Toffoli. But I really don't know much about Sharangovich so maybe it's fine. Who knows.

I have this feeling that there won't be any takers for Yamo unless you attach an asset which is disappointing.

I flip it around and if I am a GM of another team, do I want to take back a very undersized player, who has OK skill but not great, doesn't have much of a shot, skates OK but not great and has head/neck problems due to his size and how he has to play to do anything that also makes 3.1 mill?

The answer is not really unless you give me something for him. I wouldn't be advocating the Oilers to trade for him if he was on another team.

He supplies most of what Toffoli brings, is 10 years younger, and half the price. Plus a bonus 3rd round pick.

Much faster than Toffoli too. Decent gamble bringing him in, but that’s an overpay for what he’s done so far.

That being said, GM’s are tossing around cash like the cap is taking a significant bump next season.

Toffoli was an elite 2-way forward for them. Possibly their best overall performer of the last season.

Sharangovich somehow managed to be -3 on a dominant 5v5 team. Only minus among regular players this season. Nearly the worst on the team in terms of analytics. Can see why the Devils would have been shopping him, hoping someone bites on him being big and young.

This is a huge downgrade in the lineup for the Lames IMO. Toffoli was dragging that sad sack team on his back this year. Gotta hope for a lot of other guys to rebound to make up for it.

Sharangovich getting paid. 3.1M cap hit on his two year extension.

When I heard the trade I had to look the guy up because I'd never heard of him before but he plays in New Jersey. If he can score 20 or more like he did a year ago, it might not be a bad contract but if he's the 13 goal guy this past season, that doesn't look so great. I thought the Flames might get a little more for Toffoli just because of the season he just had and the free agent mark looks pretty weak so at just over 4.25 mill for a guy that can get you 25 goals, that's pretty decent value for Toffoli. But I really don't know much about Sharangovich so maybe it's fine. Who knows.




Didn't recognize the name either. At first I thought they got Siegenthaler which would have sucked. Pleasant surprised when I was able to click the name to the nhl.com player page :)

Man, suggesting that Sharangovich is "most of what Toffoli brings" is a hilarious take. Toffoli was almost a point a game last year, and he's on an absolute bargain contract. Calgary will be paying only a million less for a guy who's never had a 40-point season. It ain't close.

And the third round pick is meaningless for at least the next 3-4 years. Maybe someday it'll be something but for now it's simply a lottery ticket. And odds of it being a winning ticket are low.

That was a great deal for New Jersey and a brutal one for Calgary. Although I guess the Flames fans can be content that they didn't get back a Taylor Hall or Paul Coffey in return I guess.

You cut the part where it gives a time frame. If you think that you're likely to get any impact out of a 3rd round pick in the first three years after the draft, I'd like to see your stats on that.

Holland on Bouchard.


So much for anyone hoping for a creative, smart solution to make sure we don't have to pay Bouchard $10MM/year in a couple seasons...

With the Yamamoto deal, I think this does indicate that Holland's planning on spending (over-spending?) on someone on July 1. There's smoke around the Connor Brown rumours...although you would hope that he wasn't that expensive after playing only 4 games last year. It's been a very long time since he played a full season.

Seravalli believes he will be offered multi year deals in the 3M+ range, and if he gets that I hope its somewhere else. Best case scenario he signs for cheap on an incentive based deal that runs alongside the cap jumping up next season.

I think that narrative is supported by the notion he will get his best opportunity to prop up his numbers with one of, or a combination of Connor and Leon on a one year deal and then cash in one a long-term deal.

Essentially he is willing to bet on himself. We will see on Saturday.

If there is other offers, I am sure there will be longer term deals. I can't see the money being huge given the injury but he will have to weigh risking longer term security. If he signs with the Oilers and plays most of the season, it's pretty likely he will have a good year and give him a way better change to earn more money next season when the cap goes up.

They know it because we suck at managing the cap. Holland knows it because he sucks at the cap.

I guess if everyone knows it, then that's what'll happen! A rare Holland guarantee

I thought he was a decent signing last year. 10 g, 25 pts in 66 games. That's a 12 goal, 31 pt pace plus good on the PK. They get him this year for 250K less. I think that's a pretty good signing.

Scored 21 goals for the Kraken in only 66 games. Had a shooting percentage in the 14s which is highish but still useful.

I don't get it at all. Only played 11:25 per game, and averaged 2.5 shots a game. Even with a little regression on shooting percentage, he's still extremely useful as a depth guy.

Maybe the expectation is that he was going to demand a big raise and they were better off finding a cheap replacement? We'll see where he ends up - he's definitely someone I'd have interest in if I was in Holland's shoes. He was only $1.5MM last year so at that he is great value for the money.

Does he have arbitration rights? Just thinking this through, maybe Seattle was worried they'd be forced in to a contract they couldn't afford.

You mean like Yams? He was signed to avoid an arbitration ruling that probably would have been higher than what they signed him for. Yet, you don't seem to account for that in Yamamoto's case , instead just being critical of Holland for signing him at the $3M+ value . Given your comments above, would you rather the Oilers have traded him just when he seemed to be hitting his stride, so to speak?

I don't think I was praising this from Seattle, was I?

It's interesting to see a bunch of teams walking from players who have arb rights this year - we haven't seen a lot of that in the past, and it steps up UFA status for these guys, but suggests that the teams believe the arbitration numbers have been too high. It's interesting that they're not even making that case though to the arbitrator.

I'm amused to see how many people are irritated about the Yamamoto thing, especially given that I've been relatively muted in my criticism of the specific trade - saying very specifically that it could be a lot worse. As it is, it's a weird trade where neither GM did well in the end! And arguably, Yzerman does worse if Kostin either doesn't sign or signs at an inflated number. So there you go, if not losing as much as the other guy is a win, then Holland just won a trade!

I think Yzerman had heard the Oilers and Kostin were far apart in their negotiations and inquired about him. He probably offered a low draft pick, and Holland - having few or no prospects for trading Yamamoto, said not to the picks or low end player and said, here, take Yams and he's a cheap buyout - I get cap space (lower case!) and you get a shot at Kostin for relatively low cost before anyone else.

I don't understand the sentiment on the Yamo trade. Kostin was not going to sign here so He is berely even an asset at this point and they were talking about having to buy out yamo. We got rid of Yamo's contract and all it cost us was a player that was going to walk for nothing.

I like Kostin I wish we could have resigned him but not at 2mil a season. at this point that would handicap us and keep us from being able to full other needs or just keep other players that are more vital to out overall success.

Speculation on ON that Caggiula is on his way back here on a league min deal.

I'd want to be sure Sam Steel isn't about to get implicated in the Team Canada mess before I did anything to bring him in.

I’d have time for Morgan Geekie. Mike McLeod too, but isn’t he connected to that scandal too?

Geekie is off the market already. Boston got him. 2 years at $2MM per.
