Great forward depth. Boone, Nash, and Duclair outside of the top nine? Incredible. Kinkaid and Duclair are going to cost more, though.

@coga16 @Price_is_the_goat I know you guys showed interest in this

yeah. makes a lot of sense for cbj to pursue duchene, fits in perfectly imo

How's the other signings

And who should I do next

what to do with panarin.

Ok

I think he's over rated and that putting PLD on the wing is a waste of his natural talents.

If Duchene wants out of Ottawa fine, idk about that price. I think we do not need keith kinkaid and he has been amazing for devils I do not see them letting him hit free agency. Ryan murray is not worth 4 million per year. Sonny Milano is definitely not worth that given his inconsistency even in a top six role. I personally see Milano as trade bait for deadline. If Duclair keeps going at this pace he will have at least 20-30 pts this year most being goals. I could see Jarmo getting this man another 1 year deal around the 1.5 mill mark just to see if his play stays consistent, after that he could get a big pay raise. You need money in Bank to sign PLD to a bridge deal and Anderson, 2 million is not going to cut it. I do not believe Z is worth 6 million I understand he is recovering mentally from a big injury but playing on his own we can see the flaws of his play. if you are going to compare his contract to his play and his play only I see him netting less than seth jones around the 5 million mark. I only say this because his play is better overall with Seth on the ice making seth the better player which means Z should not get more than what seth is earning now. Hannikainen not worth 1.5 million he will be slowly phased out due to talent of prospects.


Werenski 6 yr- 5.0mill his play is better with jones on ice, so for right now jones deserves to be jackets highest paid defensemen
Milano will be traded at some point to give him more offensive time. he will not get it on this team with its depth at forward.
Murray 2yr- 3.25 mill make sure he stays healthy and have consistent playing he could command more after these 2 yrs
Duclair 1yr-1.5 mill make sure his play is consistent and that he doesn't regress.
Duchene is 27 I see play declining once he hits Dubinsky age good comparison would be Bobby Ryan at 31 yrs. 4 or 5 yrs at 7.0-7.3
Unless jackets make to eastern conference semifinal or finals Panarin will not stick around unfortunately.

the rest of the signings I agree with to keep the great defensive depth and forward depth

Thanks for your feedback. This is great

Your welcome. people blow up my ACGM teams all the time with so called ridiculous signings with nothing behind them as to why.
