Or dress him to play when he's "healthy" but take no shifts because the coach doesn't trust him more than Megna, Chaput or Dorsett?

I'm honestly a little surprised there hasn't been any chatter about a grievance from the PA.

Yup. Totally mishandled by staff and coaching. Why I believe JB will give Rodin another shot if fully recovered. At least pump and dump like we said.

IMO, yes it would... Next step for Dahlen is transitioning his skillset to NA ice. His hockey IQ/vision/skating/shooting/passing don't require further development on euro ice based on what I've seen.
- DrChristianTroy



Good point. Let's see if Dahlen sees that too and sticks either way. At the very least he should know there will be injuries and call ups. Perpahs trades of vets too

I think we should have never signed any UFA's long term

However, I would give TJ Oshie Loui Eriksson money.

He is pretty much the only UFA that isn't as old as dirt

He's gonna get paid.

No I'm just saying if we didn't sign that terrible Eriksson contract

but we still signed a UFA long term I wouldn't mind giving Oshie the same contract as erickson.

Yup

I wonder where he would be willing to go ...probably take less to go to a cup contender but would be go for a huge pay day to somewhere with lots of cap space who might not be a contender ?

If he's worried about money then reduce the amount being spent on salaries. Reduce the cap hit/salaries could equal what he would have made on a playoff round.
- Kaynine



What do you think he's doing now with recent signings? Setting up for a cheap ELC team. After LE that was it. FA probably said WTF did you sell me on?!? Now how do you get the other salaries off with those clauses

He'll get an extra million a year simply for his shootout ability

I think he is 59% in his career which is 2nd best in the league.

Those extra points in the shootout can be the difference between playoffs and not.

Yeah I agree he should get more for that

(frank) I would love to see continuous 3 on 3 OT

It would be hilarious if every notable FA took a discount on a 1 year deal to Vegas.

I'd second guess the numbers. The KHL doesn't normally publish numbers, and those were salaries not including signing bonuses which is a huge thing the KHL does for their own players.

And even if they're accurate, a USD there goes a hell of a lot further than it does over here.

- Lindenis#1



Good points. Some don't like second guessing. They like swallowing or denying just to mock and not recognize the complexities to issues. If only the world was black and white with absolutes. We wouldn't have to discuss anything. Just yah everything and follow like lemmings.
