2021 Vtek or Sammy

Yes, unlike you when I said Carlson is the contract that the Caps could most easily replace.


care to go on

    I value the majority of opinions. I'd say 95% of them.

    Actually Carlson is the contract that would be one of the toughest to replace because it would be hard to find a team to take that contract. You have to admit that is a pretty big contract for a defenceman his age. I think we are stuck with it.

Exactly why he should NOT be protected in the upcoming draft. If he truly is this perennial Norris candidate, then Seatle will take that contract. Which will give the Caps the room needed to resign everyone else plus another top Dman.


Also why he never should have been given $10m

based on your posting history, this is a false statement

    If he was left unprotected, Seattle would take him in a heartbeat but I don't think that is going to happen.
     I realize he has a high salary, probably a bit too high but he is a valuable asset to this team. I don't think he could be easily replaced. To replace him with a similar player you would be paying a similar salary.
    And replacing him might mean losing some team chemistry. He fits in well with this team. I wouldn't mess around with it.
    I'm not a big Carlson fan but I think he is going to be here awhile.

Actually this statement is fairy accurate. Very accurate.

[alta]

Back before Game Over Green was traded, everyone had the same opinions of him as they do Carlson. That tells me, among many other things, Carlson is expendable. More precisely, his contract is.

Wait whut. He's over paid?




Well duh

  I do agree that he shouldn't have been given that kind of money. That's what makes him almost unmoveable.

[alta]

oh, one more thing then I'm done beating this horse


Every. Single. Time. you change a player you change the team chemistry.

Well duh

    What do you want me to say? I never would have signed him to that deal. Blame GMBM for that. But we are probably stuck with him.

I do recall you saying he was worth $10M a year. Too bad the old site isn't accessible.

     Wtf are you talking about?

       I don't recall saying that. Not saying I didn't.  I do get on here and rant when I've been drinking. Like now.

I don't understand how this is a difficult concept to you.


A very recent example would be Vrana being replaced with Mantha. That changes the team chemistry.

      [size=78%]Hey come on. Be nice.[/size]
Yes I understand changing a player changes team chemistry. I think my point was if the chemistry is there, why fuck wit it?

[Chaos43]

lol, ok

     Lol you know I've actually enjoyed having this debate/conversation with you.
