Gudbranson is a #3D. 8 years at @5.5m...where do I sign up? That's a great deal for us and is a better use of our capspace in the next couple of years vs bringing in overpriced UFAs.

I don't want us stuck in a situation down the road where his contract becomes a hindrance. He's 24. He would be 32 when that contract expires. Although I agree with you that term of five years is usually best, with this player I would lock him up for as long as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am finally coming around to the new D Core: Edler - Tanev Hutton - Gudbranson Tryamkin - Sbisa Stecher/Subban/Pedan There is size EVERYWHERE. Is that the biggest D core in the league now? They are all over 6'2. The average height for that top 6 d core is 6'4. Woah, good luck getting into Miller/Markstrom/Demkos kitchen... Draft Dubois, Sign Okposo or Erikson and dang i like the team moving forward. Tryamkin - Sbisa is going to be an adventure... I wonder if JB is shopping Sbisa now and planning on keeping Hammer?

canuckistani Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Its not that big of a deal. If we win the Gudbranson trade, he would be worth 5-5.5 million/year on a 4-6 year contract. This move might make Sbisa redundant though and that would make Gudbranson's cap affordable and also fairly reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.53 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 My depth chart would look somewhat like this, Edler - Tanev Hutton - Gudbranson Tryamkin - Larsen (Sbisa) Subban and Stecher are both close to NHL ready. They will provide the offensive PMD presence while Gudbranson provides the big mean defensive D presence. I would assume that Benning had his eye on Hamonic before, but he was taken off the market. Still, that is a capable D core that can play next season. Good youth, with skilled talent on the way. I think Benning anticipates us getting Dubois as well. If we do, then the loss of McCann really wont hurt too much. Edmonton already has McDavid and Draisaitl slotted in for their future 1-2 punch combo. If anything, with Nugent Hopkins they have almost too much depth at that position. I see them taking Tkatchuk Hall - McDavid - Eberle Tkatchuk - Draisaitl - RNH That's a very solid forward core for them. I see us snagging Dubois, making McCann's loss less painful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup you can see why JB pulled the trigger on this - it really sets up some good pairings - i actually like a lot of what Sbisa brings and do think he could net a good return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think this deal could help Sbisa improve a lot. Sbisa-Gundbranson reminds me a lot of the Willie-Bieksa pairing that was very effective for us. Add in the improved depth and hopefully less injuries leading to excessive minutes, and I think Sbisa can thrive. He really hasn't had a partner that suits him yet (he needs a stay at home partner and Hammer, when healthy, couldn't be paired with him without one of them playing on the wrong side).

Joe_Kerr Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I could see the Benning trying to sign Gudbranson for something similar to Tanev. Both DFD, not very offensive, Tanev probably a little more defensively reliable and with a little more offence where as Gudbranson is an absolute tank compared to him. Tanev signed last year for 5yrs@4.45per at 25yrs old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him the season to prove himself further before offering it to him. No. Don't let him get closer to UFA if you don't have to. Sign him to the 5 mil for 6 years deal, but make sure it isn't NMC NTC. It's up to him if he doesn't want to stick around here, but I wouldn't risk the wait to be honest. Sutter I would have, and I like Sutter, but that contract was a bit rushed. EG signing here long term would be just fine in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's on a 1 year deal already and it will only take him to RFA. Signing him to a long term contract at this point is so unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
