Thread: Stars makes a splash at home during the draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lavsim96</b></div><div>wrong side of 30's? Max is 29 lol so is JVR btw.
Last year some folks were talking about Max for Selke...he scored 35+ with David Desharnais as center, im sure he would get 40 with playing again with Radu, and say Bozak if you use that dough on a center and having PP time with Seguin/Benn.
Janmark's value is rated so high because he had a good year...</div></div>

Good point about age. The way I see it, the big difference is JVR isn't costing one of our best young players and a first rounder, plus Patches is coming off of a meh season. JVR scored 36 primarily in a 3rd line role (I think?), so I feel like he would bring just as much offense as Patches. They're pretty comparable players if they both have a healthy year, I just look at the cost for each one. And JVR was just an example of an FA to target, there's plenty others out there.

Also, contracts. Janmark gets a bridge deal of $4M, 5 years. Patches has one year left of $4.5M, and then probably needs a raise (if he does in fact perform well) while we also need to resign Seguin, Lindell, and Honka. Money might be tight, it'd be interesting to look at this from a 2019-2020 perspective as well.

Thanks for replying!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>lavsim96</b></div><div>Pacioretty will bring alot more than just a few points...Paccio could easily score 40g 70+pts and still play good defensively in Dallas, feels like your under valuing him. Janmark will be at the very best a 50 point man and it's possible he never does compared to Max who did it plenty of times in his career and had a down year.

There still money to sign a center since i agree Faksa is a third liner without much offensive upsides to his game. I signed Roussel but the Stars could let him walk and have money to sign a guy like Bozak and if they manage to get rid of Spezza's contract they could even go for JT.</div></div>

40 goals from a guy who's about to be on the wrong side of 30? I'd say that's wishful thinking. With how well Janmark played after being sidelined for the entire previous season, I'd much rather stick with him, especially with him probably getting a bridge deal. Then go after JVR or some other FA. Especially if you let Roussel walk like you suggested, you've got plenty of dough to go after one or more of the pretty good FAs that are available.
