Chalky Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Solid. He's a fierce player and gives it his all. Pretty much does everything. A bit too much money but other than that it's pretty good. ....wonder how much Ryan Johansen will seek now after seeing this I have think Johansen will want equal to or more than Dubinksy. He will get a little less money than he would through arbitration and a lot more term. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokejump Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Dont see him enough to judge. Iam gonna say 5 was what he was worth tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papayas Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Dont see him enough to judge. Iam gonna say 5 was what he was worth tho so... you dont see him enough to judge...but somehow you think he's worth almsot 1 mil less than what he was signed.....base on....what? I swear... some people on cdc has a habit of deducting 1-2 mil whenever a player is signed and claim that's their true value...It doesn't matter how much they were signed for... it should always be 1-2 mil less to them. 5.8 for dubinsky is a pretty fair deal. Not a discount, but fair. He bought so much more than just points. It's the term that is a bit long to my taste.. a lot of things can happen with his play style once he's pass 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2SKATES1STICK Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 since when do "solid" players make $6m. and people are complaining about burrows at $4.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Way overpaid on the term and money, he's good but he's just a good 2nd line centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I don't think it's that laughable. 2nd overall in points (for forwards) only to Johanssen and plays the game tough. Horton's contract sucks compared to this and wait till you see Kesler's next contract Some folks didn't get the memo about inflation and the cap rising. Or apparently about the Kane/Toews signings. 1st line players are going to start going for $8m-12m folks. Second liners from $4m-$8m. The money isn't terribly out of line (though the length is a bit steep IMO for the style of game he plays). Besides, anything that makes them even slightly more likely to need to move Johansen, the better IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papayas Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 5.8 mil for 15 goals last year yea fair deal in what universe in the universe where the cap is raising every year and inflation exists, or the universe where Kane and Toew can demand almost 11 mil a year. O wait that's our universe. Which universe did you come from? Peanutland? People who has no idea what inflation and cap hit is should not comment on how much money a player make in the NHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 First, people here NEED to realize that the cap has increased significantly. 3 years ago, yeah, Dubinsky isn't worth close to $6M. However, this isn't 3+ years ago. Dubinsky also had 6 points in 6 playoff games for the Blue Jackets last year, so it's not as if he hasn't picked up his game when it's been necessary. Lastly, if Clarkson gets $5.25M for his awful play, Dubinsky should receive roughly the same for his consistently good play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a cheaper and a better player for 5.25 million and if he went to FA I bet he'd get the same amount (5.25). I didn't expect him to get market value from the team he's played for the last 2 years. He isn't anything special to get this much money regardless of where the cap is at. He also got a no movement clause for the first 3 years and a limited NTC for the last 3 years. I would expect around 4-4.5 million and not a NMC/limited NTC.

Dal Colle Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Dubinsky is a great player but the jackets overspent. Brad Richards is getting paid less than at 2 mill and he looks to be a steal for the Hawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Kesler Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Dubinsky is a great player but the jackets overspent. Brad Richards is getting paid less than at 2 mill and he looks to be a steal for the HawksThat's an apples to oranges comparison. Richards can't keep up anymore, AND he needs sheltered minutes to produce. Dubinsky plays hard minutes and produces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyHound93 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Long contract, lots of money and a NMC/NTC. Jarmo Kekalainen must have gotten help from Gillis on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 That's what it costs folks if you want to keep a guy who scores 50 points, is one of your most reliable players on the pk and pp, throws 234 hits, faces the strongest quality of competition among your forwards, goes 52.9% in the faceoff circle, has very strong underlying numbers, is +13 in takeaways/giveaways, and gets only 45% offensive zone starts. Guy is a work horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 It's a bit much, but hell... They still have $15 mill in cap space left with which to sign Johansen and save up to nurture the rest of their budding stars into the line up. And Johansen, nor Jenner will have the freedom to play without having to match up to guys like Lucic, or pairs like Getzlaf / Perry. Up and coming team IMO.

Coconuts Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 A little much, but that's what you pay to keep players around. It's too bad we couldn't nab him, he's a solid second liner who does a bit of everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
