flickyoursedin Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Umm is their any guarantee that he isn’t just a 3rd line Center? To me there’s still a chance that’s all he is to me. A crash and bang type player but 5.25 mill on the cap for 8 years is a huge risk I think anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eriksson Ek isn't a bad player, but Boeser has vastly outperformed him. He used to be their "should have drafted Boeser" but not anymore. He has become invaluable. One of the very best matchup Cs in the league. Was even 4th in Selke voting. He's someone you win with in the post-season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild did well here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herberts Vasiljevs Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 EXCELLENT contract for the Wild. Very comparable to the Nuge deal. Ek has emerged into a legitimate Selke contender. I'm hoping that if/when Bo gets extended, his contract is structured similarly. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this one much more than the RNH deal, Ek is much more useful. 21 minutes ago, mll said: He's someone you win with in the post-season. well... kinda? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I wonder if Petey would be tempted to go the 8 year route for around 6.5-7 x 8? it could be structured very favourably for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of how bad it would be here if Benning had passed on Jake and Virtanen flourished elsewhere. Pretty much the prime example of how you can’t win with these people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dats hockey Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Not sure what’s more weird. All these 8 year contracts for players in there mid 20s or someone that’s not vintage posting it first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Didn't realize he was so high in Selke voting. That probably makes the deal worth it then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
