Ugh we lost, here is my commentation XD:

We have to trade Saad away. As much as he has produced for us all those days back to when he was drafted in 2011. We pay this guy $6 million for someone who produced only 47 points last season. As well as he fits with the Toews and Nylander line, this is a big fat waste of money. Bowman's gotta think ahead, although his drafting skills are actually really good, like when we found Teravainen in the draft full of busts back in 2012, DeBrincat who is legit the next Ovechkin was taken in the second round in 2016, Jokiharju who was taken 27th overall and better that the 2nd overall, Nolan Patick, of that year in my opinion. Anyway, $6 million is way too much, general managers pay big name players, who although they're defensemen, way less than Saad. Examples include Josi and Klingberg. We have to trade Saad away before his trade values decline like his stats, while he still has trade value. We will need someone of that same role as Saad, though, and his skating abilities are amazing, but $6 million can buy a LOT of players, and at the same time we have people like Strome, Lehner, and Gustafsson (who I blame for yesterday's loss), having expiring contracts of this next year. We overpay Toews as well, his contract is the same as Kane's with $10.5 million out of the nearly $82 million of cap space we can spend, and his contract goes until he's about 34 or 35. Don't get me started with Seabrook, although he is a great leader, we pay him nearly $7 million and his contract runs until he's 38, 4 more years left, which is a huge dent in out cap space. I mean, people like Point, Laine, and McDonagh gets payed a bit less than them and they're producing points three times as much as Seabrook. We most likely won't be able to trade him away, who would want to waste their cap space for an aging 34 year old veteran, with a large cap hit and a long deal? Kieth I can accept because he gets payed $5.5 and he's a leader and resilient at the same time, although he is aging too, being 36 years old. Lehner, we only gave him a one year contract to prove himself last year wasn't a fluke, and the way things are going right now, Bowman's probably thinking of locking him into a long term deal, which I hope doesn't run long. Gustafsson, he had a great year last year, and his agent will most likely put pressure on Bowman to pay him at least $3 million. To be honest, while de Haan's defensive capabilities are great, he's kind of overpayed as well. And Strome, we can't replace him. Just like Kane and Panarin, DeBrincat and Strome should be legit lifetime partners. And I want Crawford to stay longer, maybe in my opinion a 3 year, $2 million AAV (annual average value) would work for Crawford, because I want him to stay with the same team he won two/three Stanley Cup rings with until he'a a good veteran. Oh, and also, DeBrincat's contract extension is only $6.4 million for 3 years, while Seabrook's contract is about $6.9 million for the next 4 years. How horrible is this contract negotiation? And remember when Dale Tallon was the general manager and we gave Marian Hossa a 12 year contract? We were lucky enough to dump about $5.3 million of cap space on the Coyotes' shoulders, but no one will take Seabrook. Giving him a buyout and releasing him won't work, we'll have to pay him a TON more than he already gets payed. Good thing is, 3 humongous contracts for Toews, Kane, and Kieth, will expire in 2023, the same time DeBrincat's does, and also the same year of my graduation. Maybe we can lock DeBrincat up on a monster deal, and hopefully we can extend Kane's contract as well as Toews, but for a less value, of course. I also want Kieth to stay, but on a super cheap contract (he'll be 40 years old when it expires), this is what happens when you lock players for more than 10 years worth of big money.

Well hope you liked this essay, lol.
