Description

Mattias Samuelsson got his contract a bit early IMO. But in the grand scheme I think it was a good move.

I love the way Vlasic plays and think it would be a savvy move to sign him to something comparable to what Samuelsson's got on his extension from BUF.

I'm with ya. We can even front load it if that helps with the dollars early and keeps the AAV low. He should 100% be bumped back up to the #1 LD with Jones. They play much better together than apart. Same with KK by the way. He plays better next to Murph too.

I've seen enough from Vlasic to be comfortable with this. His size and speed alone makes him a 2nd pair guy already. 4.3 with this cap and it going up could be a steal.

For what it's worth, Samuelsson hasn't earned his contract.

I'd be good with this if Vlasic's play the rest of the season is the same or better than what he has showed so far. He looks the part of a legit top 4 NHL D man.

Maybe he hasn't yet. He's on year 1. I trust you've watched more Sabres games than me...Still ~20ATOI and getting stuck with mostly DZone starts, BUT still a +2. The stats (not the eye test) are saying Dahlin...get you're act together and play a little defense!!! It shouldn't fall entirely on Samuelsson
