Thread: Stop Breaking Up The 3M Line
I respectfully disagree, I think that we need more scoring from a line like that, I think that the addition of Neal to a line with Backs and Chucky is deadly, Backlund is good enough now that he can drive a line and remain a defensive stud, Frolik used to kind of be his defensive safety net. I think using Frolik to create a similar situation that he had with Backlund with a guy like Jankowski is ideal, if you can use the last two years of Frolik's contract to develop Janko into a Backlund Lite then it will be one of the best FA signings Calgary has ever had. It improves our depth while also improving our secondary scoring. I love the 3M line I think this is the way I would like to see it go though, if it doesn't work then you figure it out early and just put them back together.

Thread: Alright let's try this again ! Give me your thoughts
Alright you asked for thoughts, so here with go. I believe Kris Russel signed a 1 year $3.1 million deal, so based on his performance, especially in the playoffs, I think it would take at least $4 million to get him locked up and he will want some term. That Draisaitl contract would be a huge win for the Oilers in terms of AAV but I think they'd want to go 8 years. I feel like a realistic contract would be 8 years at $7.5 million AAV. Minnesota may be in a squeeze but I don't think there's any way they make that deal without Tyler Benson included. Perhaps Benson, Caggiula and a 2017 1st rounder would do it? Finally, I feel you are overvaluing RNH based on his production and salary, so I don't think even with retaining some salary RNH nets you that pot of gold.
