My hope for Rathbone is that he can be comparable to Byram if developed properly. I understand that every player is tradeable and it is all about what comes back. Nothing against Rathbone but his ceiling is no where near that of Byram. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rathbone doesn't have Byram's size either. I was hoping that Rathbone's lateral movement would give him a boost into the NHL. Byram looks really good in the 2 games I have watched. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 wow really sucks for Klingberg... sounds like Dallas doesnt want to resign him. Considering he did them a favor with the bargain contract they are currently signed to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Love the player, but Klingberg’s best playing years are behind him, and his worst contract years are yet to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Per Marek he was looking for an 8 year deal at around 63M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually of the mindset that defensemen age much later then forwards. After watching someone like Jeff Petry and Mark Giordano have career years at 34 and 36 years old, I'm less concerned about getting older d-men (so no reservations about OEL's deal). I just don't like that he'd want 7.5 mil/year. I've mentioned this before but to me Hughes and OEL are both better d-men then Klingberg. I don't think that he deserves much more then 6 mil/year and that's on a more reasonable 5 or 6 year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly needs to come down to earth a bit on his ask, if other teams only offer something in the 6's he might then choose based on where he wants to play vs. just salary. We'd have to likely move Myers to accommodate him tho, so that would be a pretty big decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers is more physicall - not consistently, but when he is - vs Klingberg, but no doubt in my mind that Klingberg is a far superior player in almost all other aspects. I watched DAL vs PIT and no way DAL turns around and wins that game without Klingberg (who was actually much better than Heiskanen in this particular game). Not sure if he's worth 7 mil+ long term but I would definitely want him on our team right now. That said - with where we're at and with what JR seems intent to do, Klingberg probably is not in the picture short term or long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSam Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Klingberg is looking for an 8 mil contract as a UFA.. and will probably get it. you have to move that, and still make room for other signings. id live to see Kling here, it’s starts with Boeser and quite a bit more.

I've always liked watching Klingberg, in fact he's one of the few Dallas key players that don't make me want to hurl. He'd have to be convinced to come here for something in the 6's. Is that likely? probably not, unless he gets to talk to other teams and finds out thats his ceiling from every other team. I think we could replace Myers physical play with guys on our 3rd pairing, but I do like him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
