Correct. But +8 truculence

+2 for this response.

It's interesting but in looking at players making $4.28 a year on D they're almost all FA's soon.

The only person at that rate with term is Brandon Carlo.

If we get MS until 2030 at the rate Brandon Carlo is in 2022 and he continues to develop into a solid defensive D, this contract will look great.

If he falls on his face, we're in a bad spot, but it's a celebration today!

If samuelsson sucks. He’s only overpaid by a 1.

Not the worlds biggest cap issue.

Okposo is overpaid by 3 million (should be a 3 million dollar player) and skinner is overpaid by 2 million. (Should be 7)

I went hunting to find a comparable right now and I'm OK with this contract. In a few years this is nothing.

It is a risk if he doesn't continue the growth curve, but I think bridge deals on pieces you know you want are going to be a thing of the past.

He's also a guy you know can play with Dahlin who figures to be your second pair stalwart for the forseeable future. Figure out the long-term solution opposite Power and your top-4 is set for nearly a decade

HE'S NEVER SCORED A GOALIOOUJOEEJFEIOJA;!

You should have seen what the apple was saying about your wife In The last blog…..

Didn't even occur to me that Meatballs had 2 years left on his deal. Makes even less sense now. There should be some pressure on him to improve this season and not an absolute sure thing he's back next year. I don't understand the rush there.

I replied to that bastard

I am looking forward to seeing Samuelsson, I have been looking in on him since he was with the USNDP. Very quiet kid. Can't wait for the next level of Nastiness to come out when he fully adjusts. Players are gonna remember trying to skate past him along the boards.

Chuck full of surprises

Right. I don’t get why people like 89 are crying and angry.

Even if he’s a 2nd pairing d. Then he’s overpaid by what. 1 million dollars give or take?

That isn’t bad

I used Darnell nurse as an example. He isn’t great offensively and gets paid 9+ mil. That is what I would consider an overpayment
- Sabretooth9

Samuelsson probably won’t be a 2nd pair guy though
He’ll either be paired with Dahlin, or on the 3rd pair

*i don’t think they’d pair Power with Dahlin long term

Why couldn’t MS play on the 2nd pair with power?

This could be the second pair for a half a decade once they sort out a partner for Power in the next 2-3 years

I have a feeling power will end up being the better of the two by sometime next season.

Risto's dinged up at practice today.

That’s good news for Philly fans.

Dahlin will likely surpass Power in offensive highlights and defensive lowlights throughout their respective careers. If Power finds a steady medium between the two then he'll pass Dahlin

- Hank Balling

True, i hadn’t thought about that
Power probably needs a couple years (like u said) before he gets to that level though

Why couldn’t MS play on the 2nd pair with power?
- IndianaSabresFan

Both LD
I don’t see any reason they’d move either to RD

I have a feeling power will end up being the better of the two by sometime next season.
- IndianaSabresFan

That’s asking a lot,
but would obviously be awesome

Dahlin took a nice step last year
I’d expect that to continue
Things are much more stable here now than his first couple seasons
