As solid of a haul as that is, especially with Johnson, can't see Edmonton delaying their cup window for these players to develop.
They need Drai more the next 2 years than any other player they would get from trading him.

Thread:
Buffalo Sabres signed Mattias Samuelsson (7 Years / $4,285,714 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ElectroMan</b></div><div>The cap is going up nearly 20M in that time. Contracts are going to jump like crazy. At that time his deal would be comparable to a 3.5M deal today, which would be pretty close to his bridge amount. Near the end of his deal it would be close to 2.5M for a top 4 defensive d man.
Guys like Cernak already got 5.2M and that's before the cap has even jumped. You will start to see defensive guys getting 6M-7M pretty soon.
He's playing top pair, has strong defensive results, and this contract would put him 71st highest paid d man. Do you think that's an overpay or fair for what he brings currently?</div></div>
Personally? If he doesn't take a step up, he's overpaid. And his defensive numbers away from the top pair were abysmal - go check out his sub-40% CF/SF and 8-27 GF-GA numbers when he was with Casey Fitzgerald last season if you think I'm just making things up. He put up better numbers with Dahlin, but to me that doesn't scream "top pair guy", it just says he's able to keep up with a superior player while not being able to make a lesser player better. That's fine! There are tons of players like that, and it doesn't mean he's not a top-4 player. I just don't think he's a slam dunk top pair guy that's going to make this deal look like a steal.
If you want a little more to back that up, I think one of his better comps is Jonas Siegenthaler - both defensive LHD, similarly sized players, and Siegenthaler is only 3 years older and signed his extension 10 weeks ago.
Sieganthaler put up better even strength possession numbers (51.2 vs 47.6 CF, 51.0 vs. 47.3 Fenwick) with similar PDOs (so can't say one was bailed out by better goaltending), and was better at preventing goals when he was on the ice shorthanded (7.2 GA/60 vs. 8.1 for Samuelsson), while having a little over 2 seasons worth of NHL games to judge his game on. He just signed for 5x$3.4M - so the Sabres gave more term and more AAV in this deal today.
Again, my point is that it's not that Samuelsson is going to be a bum, or not live up to the deal, or whatever. It's just that it doesn't make a ton of sense to hand out this deal right now when there is very little I could picture Samuelsson doing that would push his value *higher* than this. He's most likely a middle-pair guy going forward and this is a higher-end middle pair AAV.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BuFfaLOFaN</b></div><div>TheAthletic is releasing there top 100 players in modern hockey, post-1967 expansion NHL history, the list is called the NHL99. Because they are trying to figure out the 99 players after Gretzky lol. There is 9 voters, Eric Duhatschek, Dom Luszczyszyn, Shayna Goldman, Ian Mendes, Scott Wheeler, Sean Gentille, Michael Russo, Sean McIndoe and James Mirtle. Apparently they where given a list of 100, so someone had already figured out the top 100 players. 400 games minimum, #100 is MarcAndre Fluery.
TheAthletics Mission Statement for the list. In 100 days or whenever the full list is finished if you don't have an Athletic membership i would recommend getting one or getting a free trial and reading some of these stories. They are very interesting and going to be quite insightful.
The overall goal was simple: To tell 100 compelling stories about 100 impactful NHL players and ultimately, perhaps, generate a conversation about who might have made the list and was overlooked.
Anyone want to take guesses on who 2-99 is? Players like Maurice Richard, Bobby Hull, and Gordie Howe are not on this list because they didn't play 400 games after 1967.
Does Auston Matthews make the list since he is Eligible? McDavid surely should, Mackinnon?
Crosby and Ovi top 10? 15?</div></div>
If Joe Thornton is left off the top 100 like the NHLs list from a while back it will lose a ton of credibility imo.

Signing bonuses aren't exempt from escrow.
The only way a player is exempt from escrow is if they are assigned to the AHL.
Signing bonuses are buyout proof. Dissuading from a buyout is the main (but not only) reason players push for signing bonuses.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HelmutCool</b></div><div>Had to go look that Devane vs Harpur bout, and came to the conclusion that the enforcers truly are a dying breed.
Sure after the trauma of Brendan Smith having to fight Wilson they brought in Ryan Reeves, but they are not the only team in that situation.
There are a few teams that have a guy willing to drop the gloves, but they are mostly just big/gritty third pair defensemen or relics quitting in a year or two.
Gudbranson, Simmonds, Borocop, Lucic, Deslaurier, Maroon and so on.
Then are the ones who drop the gloves to ignite the team or out of necessity: M. Foligno, Jamie Benn, Trouba (mostly after his own dodgy hit).
Are there any players at their peek age fighting and earning their place on the ice otherwise as well anymore? Jeannot perhaps, Duhaime? Wilson? Middleton?</div></div>
Middleton for sure, but more of a team guy.
Gadjovich and Viel are both still being kept around in SJS.
Both have potential as bottom 6, quality players. Gaddy and Viel both have a nasty bite.
If you aren’t familiar with SJS guys you can follow them.
And up and coming Adam Raska has been notable in every single game in teal. Last night he destroyed Byfield.
<em>
Quinten Byfield stayed down after a hit from Adam Raska and then skated to the bench hunched over. Lias Andersson took exception to the hit and is in the penalty box, so the Sharks have a fourth power player of the 1st period.
That entire shift was one near-fight after another. It started when Blake Lizotte collided w/Adam Raska, who went face-first into the boards. Jeffrey Viel and Brendan Lemieux were also on the ice, so calamity ensued. It all ended with Viel collecting two penalties + none for LA. </em>
Raska has legit Wilson potential but he’s no where near as talented but his work ethic and hustle make up for it. Throws big hits and is always looking for the big play. Ain’t afraid to drop the mitts and is just a wrecking ball. Again I’d say;
Raska - bottom 6er but like 30 points in the NHL would be a peak I’d think unless he can start building some more offensive prowess, but he looks great when he’s on. He’s the youngest here (2020 pick) - so a lot of time to grow.
Viel - better hands and more talent but most likely bottom 6er at best. He’s 25 now.
Gaddy - has been trying to improve but he’s a little less talented than Viel.
I’d take money on Raska having more NHL GP then Viel and Gaddy when careers are over.
“Raska’s numbers may not jump off the page but his relentless pace and high-energy play make him ideally suited for a depth role at the NHL level. Earlier this season he became just the second seventh-round pick from the 2020 draft to play in the NHL. I’m a believer in Raska’s ability to break through to regular NHL duty however consistent point production has never really been his forte at any level.“ - dobberprospects
Raska is a fun player to watch.

Absolutely, he'd get claimed quickly. He's a Victim of Time & Circumstances. I don't think CGY will waive him. I see a Trade prior to the beginning or the season or when Kylington &/or Tanev returns if they miss the start of the season (not likely). CGY could also keep him as a Scratch instead of waiving him, could Scratch 2-3 D-Men if they wanted too actually. Their AHL Team being in CGY is very useful now with easy access to emergency call ups
