[Signing] Kraken re-sign Ryan Donato

[-Vintage Canuck-]

I have a feeling he could break out in the next year or two. Could become a steal if he does next year. Arguably already is a steal for a guy close to a 20-goal pace.

The FA market can be really weird...  Donato scored at almost half a point per game and only got $1.2M...  Meanwhile we have Dickie making like $2.7M and what has he really done????

That has very little to do with the market and more the skill of the GM making signings. Some are good negotiators and some not so much.
There are also a lot of other factors but I couldnt resist taking a shot at this one!

Incredibly awful scouting.  They thought Dickinson would be a capable center when he mostly was a winger in Dallas.  The premium he got was for being able to play center.  Oh sure, he can play center.  He's just AWFUL at it.

And damnnnn... Heinen scored career high 18 goals last season... Total 33 pts in 70 games... Just signed for a whopping $1M!!! 

 

So... Why didn't we sign Lazar for $750k AAV????
