That's fun. I hope Dahlin is making 10-11 mil. Not because it would be good for our cap, but because it means that he truly is the McDavid of defensemen
- jcragcrumple


If Dahlin turns into what he hope, 3 years from now, the price tag could be much higher.

It's fun to project JT, but you have to be very optimistic/unrealistic to fit it, and the team still has the same glaring weaknesses that it does today.

Glaring weakness = goaltending and a top winger.

Pretty set otherwise

Which is why I think moving ROR for said winger is something that needs to be done this offseason

Or he becomes our #1 LW and can fill in for top-6 center duty if there's an injury

Rasmus Ristolainen Pts 41 HITS 206
Oscar Klefbom Pts 21 HITS 49

Yeah, nice, lower scoring, soft Darcy D with a bust at 10.

He better develop to be an All Star in his own end, which he won't.

I'll believe it when I see it if they sign JT.

if you expect a few 1 year deals on vets this off season, and shoveling out some crap (larsson, lehner, girgens)

you probably will not be upset with the offseason

sounds about right

I wouldn't be comfortable with Eichel and Mitts as the two top centers. Mitts having only played 6 or 7 games in the NHL. Who is the PK,2 way, faceoff winner? I think this team has a glaring hole with Mitts as #2.

what's to stomp at. He's got more points and hits and those are the only ways to evaluate defensemen

Come on, glowingly tell me how great Klefbom is and why so many teams are beating down the Oilers door for him, scout.

for what it's worth

I think dahlin gets us closer to the playoffs then any trade we make


IMO a focused ror, okposo, risto and bogo can do more that any trade to shrink the gap between us and say columbus or the bruins

You can find a good defensive center that doesn't make $7.5 million per season that will get you 30 points a year

Looking at a stat sheet to compare players especially defensemen is never a good idea

For the trade Risto for a 21 pt, passive D he better bring something to the table, get it?

You said He better develop to be an All Star in his own end, which he won't.


That means you clearly have never seen him play and just stat looking
