Thread: Faksa to Kraken - Miro Bridge
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Think you're two mil short on Miro. And DAL's protecting Faksa...imo Dickinson's gone.</div></div>

Faksa may get protected. Thinking is that Dickinson can give the Stars more flexibility, both in the lineup and in their cap, while Faksa can play exactly one position in the lineup, has less offensive upside, and is more expensive. Is more flexibility worth possibly getting slightly less production on the dots and maybe less stingy defending from the 3C? That's the debate. I think Faksa is a very good NHLer and is well on his way to 1000+ games in this league, but with Dellandrea coming up and Dickinson being able to play a similar game but with more offensive upside, keeping Faksa might be a tad superfluous given the Stars' style of play.

And I don't think Miro is going to get $6-7MM on a bridge deal. If he put up the equivalent of a 60+ point season, then yeah, but he put up a 40 point equivalent season. I think if he signed an 8 year deal right now, he'd get at least $7MM. Probably closer to $8MM. But I think he'll take the bridge, get to FA, and try to make $10-11MM.
