They also have Horvat and Edler's extensions and traded for the lovely hit Miller has. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanisleryan Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Id rather take Zaitsev and Kapanen in a trade if possible. At least his term is manageable and he will fill a roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind he's only had over 40 once in his rookie year.... This alone should scare the hell out of you. Don't care about points, I want someone who can defend and prevent goals. I don't think offense is going to be a major issue this year, if they can stay healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not ideal but when you fail to draft and develop your own this is what happens. If Meyers is out mainstay for years, Eddy for a bit, Hughes can be Hughes, Stetch, Woo, Rathbone, OJ. Some hoping in there but it's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cap will be 7 to 8 million. I bet 7 mill per over 5 years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Ghost Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I am more interested in no nmc and a non buyout proof contract structure. Those are what really make for boat anchor contracts. Give him the extra year and a bit more money but win on these JB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think offense is going to be a major issue this year, if they can stay healthy. Since 2011 our defensemen haven’t scored more than 34 pts and our offense has struggle. Offense start with strong D and good breakout/puck movement. We don’t necessarily need a Karlsson (although we can’t ask Hughes to do it alone either) but we do need better puck movement from our back end. so if you do want to fully take advantage of our firepower upfront we do need to upgrade the backend.

Pete M Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) I'll go as far as $5.75M for 5 years...if he wants more, then pass and go hard to bring Tryamkin back a year earlier for $3M per for 2 years to "a show me contract"...signing bonus to support Tryamkin buying his existing contract. JB needs to lose the fixation of the "kid in a candy store"...he should not over pay for Myers. Edited June 25, 2019 by Pete M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on puck movement, no question. But, they don't need to focus on offense generated by dmen, I think the fwd group will be a higher scoring group than last year, if they can stay healthy. I'm not saying offense from the backend isn't important, I just don't think they should go points shopping. A good two way RHD should be the ideal.

Elite defenseman or forwards are going for 9.5-11 per. Next tier between 8-9 per. Then next tier is 6-7.5 That's where Myers is at.
