Thread: Dallas Stars 22-23 Out Of Camp V2
This was before Robertson was signed and this was the third version of the roster that I did with varying different ROBO contracts. This roster was ROBO signing for 8 years x $8.75 mil (now after seeing his 4x$7.75 deal it’d likely had been 8x$9.5). I was simply working out what scenarios the stars would have to go through depending on what Robertson signed for.

Although, Gurianov has not impressed at all in camp and that’s with the new coach/more offensive scheme. Hopefully he snaps out of it and produces during the season but I think we could very easily see Guri traded in season. Who knows what the return on him would be. Some teams might look at his 20 goal year and value him more while other teams would say he is what he’s been for the last 2 seasons. So to answer your question, this wasn’t necessarily about projecting what Guri could fetch in a trade but making moves to fit a ROBO long term deal.

Thread: Offer Sheet Robertson
Dallas easily matches. They’ve got a variety of moves they can make to keep Robertson at that number. Just burying Khudobin in the minors saves them $1.2 million and puts them at $7.5 mil in cap space so they’d really only be $900K short and that can be made up rather easily. Robertson could sign after day 1 of the official season, the Stars then put Khudobin on LTIR for the year because it’s clear after his 1st 2 preseason games, he’s done after hip surgery last year and they suddenly have plenty of space for $8.4 mil. They could also easily trade Gurianov’s $2.9 mil to another team for a late round draft pick. If all else fails, they can trade a 2nd or 3rd round pick to a team willing to take Khudobin’s last year at $3.3 million.

There is zero chance that Jason Robertson is wearing any other jersey then Victory Green this year.

Thread: Dallas Stars signed Mason Marchment (4 Years / $4,500,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Big difference is that you're signing Nuke to stay with the team and system he just had his career year with, so he's set up to continue succeeding.

Marchment had a career year and moved to a new org - so it's a bit more of an uphill climb to recreate the situation he was in. Not saying it's impossible, but why the Nuke signing isn't as red flag-y to me.</div></div>

Except this was Nuke’s 3rd year in Colorado and he still didn’t break 30 points until this past season. He’s also about to turn 28 and signed an 8 year deal. One can argue that analytics is overrated as well. Fact still remains that he produced double what he’s done over an 8-9 year career in a contract year. History shows that players like that generally go back to what their career average was instead of being what their one year outlying year was.

Thread: Colorado Avalanche signed Cale Makar (6 Years / $9,000,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Club_de_Hockey_le_Canadien</b></div><div>Heiskanen and Jones make this signing look beautiful</div></div>

This deal actually makes the Heiskanen deal look better. To put Jones in the same conversation as Miro is ridiculous as well. Makar walked himself right to UFA at 28 at $9 mil AAV. Miro who by all experts accounts is right there with Makar, is at $8.45 mil AAV for 2 more years when he’s 29. The Stars bought more UFA years for less AAV that may look like ONLY $550,000 difference now but what will the contract difference be for those 2 extra years Miro is at $8.45 while Makar gets $13-$14 mil AAV as a UFA.

While this contract is right in line with what Makar should’ve gotten, it’s a major fail on Sakic’s part for not getting him signed up for 8, even if it made the AAV go from $9 to $9.5-$10. Those 2 extra UFA years lost is a BIG deal.

Thread: Best Case Scenario Stars 2019-2020
Faksa is a legit player. Honka a former 1st rounder that is still in his early 20’s and has skill that needs a change of scenery, Tufte basically represents one of the Stars top prospects, whether it be him, Dellandria or Robertson. I could even see them substituting Gurianov in the Pesce deal if that got it done. The 2021 2nd round pick may very well have to be the 18th overall pick in 2019 for it to work but I think Nill would want a later round pick back in return, such as the 3rd or 4th. Getting both may not happen. I don’t know if Nill would add the 18th pick this year if he knows he’s giving up the 2020 1st rounder to resign Zucc. This roster shows the need for 2 top 6 forwards for the Stars to be true contenders. With the aging core, it’s time to go for it. With that being the case, there were only a few legit top 4 defenseman that had multiple years of team control and at a $4,000,000-$5.500,000 cap hit. Pesce fit the bill

I was going to put Dickinson in at $1,750,000 for a one year deal but I think Nill would prefer to pay the extra $500,000 a year to get Dickinson signed to a 3 year deal. To get Zucc down to $6,000,000 flat, the Stars May have to give him a 5th year.

In the end, this is my opinion of best case scenario. Collin Miller could be had for less then Pesce but he’s not nearly as good.
