Hartnell looks like someone who can definitely contribute as a #2-#4 LW. Consistent point total, good possession numbers......he's lost some foot speed, but on a 1-2yr contract at low money (<2.5mil), I could see a strong investment paying off.

Also, is anyone else confused about Kris Versteeg resigning in Calgary? Don't get me wrong; solid player, solid teammate, contract is no big deal. But aren't they just taking a roster spot from Shinkaruk/Jankowski?

How much money will Shattenkirk cost? i think 5.5M for 4 years (total of 22M if my math is correct).

I would guess a lot more than that. Probably along the lines of 45.5m over 7 years (6.5m per year)

Yeah, i mean, some see him as a 2nd pairing guy and some see him as a top 30 D in the league ... i see him in the middle.

Yeah I think of him similarly to you, it's just that he is still the best player in a weak free agent group. If Orlov could get 5.1m AAV for 6 years, I'm sure Shattenkirk could get at least 1m better AAV at the same term.

i'm a bit surprised about how much Orlov got, i thought it would be more like 4.85M or something, but he didn't get much more i guess.

Think Jagr gets a new contract? Don't think anyone really wants him. Maybe a rebuilding team that needs to fill roster spots.

And they still have just under 10 million left to spend however they would like. Hopefully they can help out their goalie situation enough because let's be honest Mike Smith and Eddie Lack are prone to some bad stretches.

Yea, all Calgary needs now is for Smith to play well. But to be trustful does anyone really believe he has what it takes to lead a team to the cup?

Will any GM be aggressive and sign Draisaitl to an offer sheet?

If Edmonton is serious about signing McDavid to a 13.25 million per year contract why not sign Draisaitl to an 8 year $8,000,000 offer sheet. This would really put the Oilers in a very tough position.

i'd put Brodie ahead of Hamonic or Hamilton. Giordano, Brodie, Hamilton, Hamonic, and then Stone.
