Thread: Stop waiting start doing - POST EXPANSION DRAFT
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Salary dump? Quick gets $3 million this year and then $2.5 million in his last year.

Clague hasn't shown that he can replace Bjornfot and that's why the Kings exposed him to Seattle.

#8 for Reinhart and #25 is fair. Adding Bjornfot is a huge overpay, let alone adding Vilardi.


That package is acceptable for five years of Jack Eichel, although I personally don't like the injury risk. Sam Reinhart isn't Jack Eichel. And what if Reinhart walks after one year? What are we left with? The guy we picked in the same slot as we picked Bjornfot two years ago, which is a loss, minus Vilardi and the guy we could have had at #8. No, thanks.</div></div>

He definitely signs for a top six salary. Yes, he's no Eichel, but we're set at center. Vilardi won't be around when we're contenders. As far as Klague goes, Dewey had an aberration last year. His contract isn't going to age well.
As far as the picks go, the Sabres have a Pegula boner for Eklund, so if that's what they want let them. We can upgrade from Vilardi and Bjornfoot.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TagesMissedShots</b></div><div>People have been making such a big deal over Borgen/Ristolainen. They are going to give Seattle something not to take him. Also, Ristolainen is apparently worth something according to Dreger (I believe), so it is only a smart business decision to protect a guy that can get you a prospect and picks (rather than give him up for nothing).</div></div>

If Adams gives up picks (FOR A REBUILDING TEAM) to protect a D whose value is next to nothing among the analytics crowd, which I don't think he's as bad as his numbers say, he's should go back to accounting for Terry and Kim. Yes, there's a market, but what is that market for him? He's a UFA, diminished his value with his comments about not wanting play to in Buffalo or being "whatever" about it. I think Seattle takes the younger Borgen and passes on the $5M cap hit. Borgen isn't that important. Let them take him.
