Someone(s) will find a way to be miserable about all of that. Lol
- Nighthawk

I think that as Jim said, the defence might not look better but hopefully they play better as a unit.

Hughes Hamonic
OEL Poolman
Rathbone/OJ Myers
Schenn

Go with 8 D.

I kind of hope that Brady Keeper beats out Schenn.

I believe the Canucks were in on Keeper out of College over Rafferty.

Would be nice to have a bit for him
- manvanfan

Fair enough but how much would he sign for & in what role? It has to make sense all things considered.

No Clark, no spark.

Love how Abby is stacked and they didn’t give a (frank) about utica. Pretty hilarious

So first cup will be the Calder?

Great comparable 2 Cups top C. Petey prove yourself on first contract: 8Mx8 or bridge low 6Mx2.
- NuckUp

I think now is the time to lock them up at something like 8x8. Once the cap starts going up again you’re going to start seeing those Marner type stupid contracts.

Bridge deals. Hughes 2 x 5. Petey 3 x 7.

Fair incentives I can live with.

905 save percentage is bad and definitely not 3 mill good. they are guaranteeing him the money/bonuses to maximize space this year

Cap there for EP at 8/8m & risky but fair especially if he keeps projecting & improving well. Though Hughes isn’t close to earning that.

I can't say I'm completely comfortable with them.

Add the 1.9 cap hit from the Holtby buyout and it's a possible 3.4 mil in dead space the season after next for Goalies no longer under contract. Then other bonuses on top of that. Plus a half mil for Virtanen's buyout. Over 4 mil dead space without trying. It's adding up.

Those are very good imo. 👍👍

Fair I said begrudgingly. Bonuses can be paid out if extra cap space & not deferred to next year. I saw there was a total of 3.4m in potential bonuses in total for all contracts.

Going to be paying double that in a few years

i also worry a bit about rookie bonuses too. rathbone hoglander podkolzin all could add up to another 1.8 if they cant fit them under the cap this year

- Nighthawk

That would obviously be up to him and how he plays. I wouldn't give him much.

Kyle Burroughs signs in Van 2 years 750k AAV 2 way deal.

Let's hope Jim the candyman does not lose Hughes or Pettersson like he lost Toffoli last year !

Maybe, maybe not.
Hughes was awful last year and Petey is a one dimensional fawn. Both talented but with question marks.

Toffoli was a UFA and they didnt give him an offer. might be difficult for that to play out....

Karlsson went from 6M to 11M being awful.

Chicago just gave Seth Jones 9.5M a season.
