I asked earlier: over or under $7M AAV on a bridge for Power?
- kingcong39

Could be, and if I am Power or his agent if I don't here the number I want on a long term deal. Fine I will sign a 3yr 7.5m Avv extension and then get 12mill Avv in 4yrs.

Dahlin got 3 x 6 two years ago. Would be interesting to see Power get that much considering the cap hasn't gone up much.

Buried it in earlier, but I'd say he'd get the Robertson bridge. 7.75m. Assuming he'll have a strong reason, if you bridge, it's next summer.

If Dallas had the cap space, they get a long term done. I expect KA to get it done.

Power is already ahead Defensively know then Dahlin was. Dahlin was a mess for a few of those years, yes he's scored some points but Defensively he stunk. Yes I could see Power getting 7mill and over on a Bridge deal.

Caulfield only has 53 nhl goals. Sure, tage/cozens hadnt burst out yet either.

Were talking 2 low/mid 20 goal seasons equaling 50 million+

I think this is a very risky decision, I'm glad a divison opponent made.

The NHL the year tage signed his deal. So 2 summers ago.

Went to paying the young kids big contracts.

That’s the trend.

Pay for potential over paying for previous stats and older vets. See Okposo

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?

How did a once in a lifetime generational 1OA defenseman sign for 6mil a year after a 44 and 40 point season?

100%, yes.

Not true. Tyler had the better season. He was being talked around the whole league like he might be the next best defensman.

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.

The point total doesn’t reflect his complete impact on our on ice success.

He does have a lot of growth defensively to go, but he was one of the best offensive play drivers in the entire league in Year 1.

He wasn’t just good for a rookie, he was legitimately good.

Same goes for Jack Quinn up front.

Not just about points when your vying for the Green Jacket in bad defense. One actually plays decent defense already, for a Defensemen.

Power will never be Dahlin in point totals. But he’s needed.

And that is perfectly okay with me.

He’s victor hedman basically

This would seem to represent this (or last) year. Numbers should change if/when the cap goes up so the Tage and Coz deals should get better and better.

VET stabilizing Goalie should be GMKA upmost priority. Levi is going to be good, but it will be his first year playing a full schedule. he doesn't seem like a player who would let a losing streak get to him but goalies are weird creatures. We need to have a better back up then UPL, He sucks....

If not a VET goalie then I would not mind getting Hart in a trade. I think we can go a cheaper option but I would go for Levi/Hart combo.

Trade UPL and Next years 1st or 2 seconds for Carter Hart.

Call up Calgary and give them this years first, OLO and a grade "A" prospect for Christopher Tanev

- hehateme


Man, that is alot of capital to spend on:
A) a 1 year rental, 33 yo Dman...2023 1st, A Prospect & Olo
B) a 1 year rental, 24 yo Avg+ Goalie...UPl, 2024 1st

If they don't resign...woof.
Gotta get a guarantee to resign for at least 3 years.

No, just the names I mentioned before. Payroll should be 68-72 mill around there, give or take just a little.
