He is significantly overrated and we would be trading 1 year of cap hell (even with retention) for how ever many he has left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue would be he’ll be 30 by the start of the season. He could be one of those Swedes that’s good until they’re like 36-37 though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some people are really unaware of what his value is. He’s being buried in Arizona right now. As for 4 of them being 30+ Savard was just one example. Could be any UFA that plays with Hughes doesn’t matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEL has 6 more years at 8.25 mil cap hit with a full nmc. Hard no. He will be 30 in a few weeks. He is a good dman but we dont need any more left handed D. We need a top RHD.

As for the 8 years, he’ll be 35 when it’s done. Not that much of a stretch to think he can still be effective. He plays an efficient game and is very durable. He’s only missed 25 games over the last 9 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only missed 25 games over the last 9 seasons. Considering our luck with long term deals for 30 plus players, thats a big risk to take. And no way does Arizona retain any of his cap for a full 6 years. At 8.25 mil I would rather sign a top RHD next summer and go with Juolevi and Rathbone on the left. Sutter and Ballard immediately come to mind as guys who missed few games until coming to Van. Edited June 20, 2021 by wallstreetamigo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did this we wouldnt necessarily need to grab a big fish D next offseason like a seth jones or parayluk for 8 mill per and instead go for a cheaper but good RHD in the 5-6 mill range.

And you’re missing the part where we get a number 1 defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
