73 Percent Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 5 minutes ago, theo5789 said: I don't think he signed for "cheap", but much closer to his market value than I expected. It's right around the Baertschi contract. Personally I like the 2 year deal as he seems like a riskier player to gamble on IMO and he probably likes that he doesn't have to worry about the expansion and maybe wants to stay out East. If I had to choose between Ferland and Dzingel at the same price, I'm glad we got Ferland. What's the risk exactly? He's a .5ppg player with no injury history.

Players getting nervous and accepting offers before the music stops Actually, it's a raise on last years $1.8.....the last 2 seasons with over 20 goals (23, 26) and 3 as an NHL regular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 It'll be interesting to see which player he'll be The Ottawa Dzingel or the Columbus Dzingel He didn't look good after arriving in Columbus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller is much more established, JT Miller 26, 435GP, 95G, 142A, 237PTS Dzingel 27, 268GP, 66G, 72A, 138PTS Ya... but PPG is pretty comparable... so my point is, is it really worth our 1st pick + paying $1.7M more? Let's not forget JT got to play with Stamkos and Kucherov... Dzingel, well just Ottawa... Edited July 12, 2019 by Virtanen#18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucklehead80 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 "Free Agent Frenzy" finally changing a bit this year. Bit of a frenzy July 1st, but still some good players available that are signing for less than expected a bit later (ie Ferland, Dzingel). Keeping the summer a little more interesting than usual.

rekker Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Would of loved adding Dzingel but that was before I thought we could even afford Ferland. Would much rather have Miller and Ferland as they address our needs better. Before we get the JB out GM'd crowd coming out again. We dont even know if Dzingel would of wanted to come here. Ferland cant wait to put on our jersey and I cant wait to see him in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In isolation, the Dzingel deal is a decent one as I've mentioned. Considering Carolina lost Ferland and signed Dzingel for similar dollars, it's seems as good as any time to compare them.

The Ottawa Dzingel, he was playing with two other players trying to play their way out of there and on contract years in Stone and Duchene who got big payouts. He certainly didn't look as good in Columbus, and especially come playoff time. This is why I think 2 years is better to see what type of player you'd be getting rather than a 4 year and potentially get a Gagner. Riskier may not be the right term because a 40 point guy for 3.5 million is still decent, but he's got to hit at least 40 points a season because he doesn't provide much else.

Let's not forget JT got to play with Stamkos and Kucherov... Dzingel, well just Ottawa... Quinn Hughes has a better PPG than Drew Doughty. Does that mean his next contract should be 12M$ AAV? Anyone can have a really good PPG on a short period, that was kind of my point that Miller is not only younger, but also has much more mileage. This means that his PPG has been tested and proven over an extended period of time (4-5 years), whereas Dzingel was below 0.5 PPG before the season and after a good one, rose above 0.5PPG based on 1 great season. He played on the same team, but I'm pretty sure he hasn't played on the same line. I believe his ice-time dropped coming in from NYR, because of Tampa's depth upfront. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget JT got to play with Stamkos and Kucherov... Dzingel, well just Ottawa... Miller wasn't on a line with Stamkos or Kucherov regularly. Dzingel played regularly with Stone and Duchene. When Dzingel was traded to Columbus, not really sure who his linemates were, but his production dipped back down. With that said, that point production is all Dzingel provides. Miller plays a heavier game and creates space while being hard on the forecheck. He will stand up for his teammates and can play all forward positions as mentioned with center being a key one. Oh and he also produces points. Miller wasn't available in UFA and is younger. So yes in comparison to the Dzingel signing, he is worth the extra money simply for the difference in playing style along with similar point production (with Miller having more of a resume showing this production which is still higher than Dzingel also) and he is worth the 1st to pry him off a team.

Let's not forget JT got to play with Stamkos and Kucherov... Dzingel, well just Ottawa... I'll be the first to admit I haven't watched a ton of TBay games, but from what I recall, JT wasn't out on the ice that often when Stamkos and Kucherov were out there. Also gotta wonder what the deal is with Dzingel given that it took so long for a team to sign him (at a low cap hit too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Columbus is underrated, but it's going to come down to their goaltending. Nyquist is a better addition than Dzingel anyway. Their defense is still solid with Jones and Werenski leading the way. Guys like Wennberg and Bjorkstrand will find bigger roles and may see their production go back up as a result and maybe "William Karlsson" themselves in doing so. Atkinson - Dubois - Anderson Jenner - Wennberg - Nyquist Foligno - Texier - Bjorkstrand Hannikainen - Dubinsky - Nash Werenski - Jones Murray - Savard Harrington - Nutivaara Not a team that I would be disappointed in having. Plus 5-10 million in cap space still after signing Werenski if they feel the need to add to the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT is a power forward, plays all 3 forward positions.... but I would love to get Dzingel at that AAV and a total upgrade over Baerstchi!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably want more money or term, didn't get the offer he wanted, so he took what he could get that is closer to his value rather than be overpaid.
