If you reed more, I said we need a RHD, Myers would be better then anything we have as far as RHD goes.

Im a huge Power homer. Like the guy that thinks he might be better than Dahlin at some point.

Dahlin just played his 5th season and had 73 points and all signs point to future captain and now Power has every right to feel like he should get what dahlin gets after his rookie year and 35 points?

Im clearly lost.

You need to look beyond Dahlin. Look at what high pick D have signed for off their ELC's recently. Adjust for % of cap and you have a good picture.

Those guys are not Vet backups, well MAF might be now. We need a 1A/1B guy. Levi shouldn't play more than 40 IMO
- DirtyDan


all I mean is goalies on the back 9 of their careers. Varly is absolutely a back up

Then if im Dahlin id be like i want 13. Hes played here 5 year on some horrible teams with a soccer coach. He deserves it.

A few days ago people were talking about trading for a great AHL defenseman from maybe columbus that was 4OA ( forgot his name )and it would solidify defense.

If we did that and he scored 35 points next year we hope to sign him to 9mil per and pay 3 defenseman 28mil a year?

When you sign a player to a max term deal coming off their ELC, aren't you paying at least in part for what they'll ultimately become, not just what they deserve based on past performance?

Also needs to look past only what a player 'deserves' based on performance leading up to when the deal is signed.

Yup, took a long time for the NHL to get over the pay for past performance model.

Might be true.

I just dont see KA doing it. I think he offers a similar deal like tage’s, maybe even 7.5.

Then KA not afraid to bridge because secretly he is Boss34 and knows the vibes will be great those 3 years and will stick around for another 8 after that

I would heavily suggest you cease day drinking based on the above.

First 15 games looked like belongs in the ECHL.

Next 30 games he looked great.

Last 40 games he either looked really good or sometimes lost. Even remember some on here said he deserved to sit a game late in the season.

Do you think he had a better year that year 1 Tyler Meyers?

What's the incentive for Power to sign for a paltry $7.5M AAV when he will likely be a $9M or even $10M player as soon as by the end of next season?

Is his agent brain dead, or clueless?

I think this one screams long term deal. Saving some cap space on the early years isn't a benefit here and I don't think there's much question on how good Power already is. His bridge won't be cheap either.

That's it, they aren't paying for what he's done, there paying for what he hopefully becomes.

I asked earlier: over or under $7M AAV on a bridge for Power?

I just can't see GMKA staying pat with UPL and Levi. Not after what happened last year.

The needs of this team are so glaring. We are talking a Vet back up goalie, MAF, Varlamov, Andersen etc.. and a RHD. hell I would even take back Tyler Myers for a few years. he is better then anything we currently have.

- hehateme


Various insiders have said that Adams is not married to UPL despite what he has said publicly. I'd still keep him over Comrie.

Isn't that always the calculated gamble? Get paid now and be secure for life, or wait a couple more years and hope you are healthy and as good as you think you are going to be.
