it will cost 11M to outbid Calgary. Dobson is gonna get more than that

Gross underpayment for Noah Dobson, Try more like 6 x 6

Johnny Gaudreau doesn't take anything less than 7 x 12mil to play on Long island.

Gross overpayment for Vince Dunn who at the most might get 2 2nd round picks.

If Gaudreau leaves, it's not going to be about money, it will be about fit.

I'll agree with you on the Dunn piece, but do you have the winning lotto numbers too on everything else? NRD just asked if NJD would go $9.5x7 to land Gaudreau. By those figures this is more than sufficient

As for Dobson, I think the most realistic bridge is $4x3.

Pulock had 10-22-32pts in 68 games the season prior to the $2x2 bridge he signed in 17-18 that Lou negotiated.

Dobson just posted 13-38-51pts in 80 games. Salary cap was $3m less at the time Pulock signed his as well. Look, Dobson was amazing for 50ish games but before that he would not have even been in the $4x3 territory. I even think $3x2 could be fair enough but I'd prefer at least a 3rd year.

Wrong a guy who just put up 115 points, Is going to want to cash in big time, As far as saying that the Islanders as a fit over any other team is the league. is pretty funny.

Completely wrong. Money will play a massive part in if he leaves. How can you "fit" in better than the most dominant line in the entire league?

I'll agree somewhat that the Dunn deal is bad for NY, but if Bailey is of no interest to Seattle, and Dunn was of considerable interest to NYI, than this could be what transpires to get the player AND have Seattle take a cap casualty.
