Thread: Keeping Klingberg
I like the salary configuration, but I don't see Kiviranta being left un-signed, and if Faksa is forced to be Dallas' 2nd line center I am going to gnaw my own arm off and beat random strangers on the street with it.

Assume this plays out the way you've laid out here & Kiviranta gets his contract. Should be left with $5Mish left to play with. Depending on how Pavelski does this year, I wouldn't mind bringing him back (or any capable veteran top-6 center) on a 1-year deal to be the 2C until Bourque steps into that role.

I'm also going to get violent with strangers if Khudobin is still in Dallas for the 2022-2023 (assuming Bishop is NOT taken by Seattle).

**EDIT** before anyone thinks I'm serious about beating up strangers, just know that it's a joke. I hope my blatant sarcasm is not mis-read.

Bishop is on IR retroactive to about a week or so ago. Not the LTIR. He is supposed to start either Thursday or Saturday.

in your scenario its part of the trade, I'm saying I do not see the Stars taking that 6mil AAV for another 4 years. Stars are in no means taking that. they would rather use that 6mil on a pending UFA.

If you think Guhle is better than Lindell you clearly have not watched him at all this year. He is pairing with Klingberg on the top pairing and is the Stars best penalty killer he also stepped up earlier in the season when Klingberg was out with his hand injury. Lindell is in line for an extension and is probably getting somewhere in the ballpark of 4.5-5.5x8.

Also if Guhle is that good why has he only played 2 games with Buffalo this year? (Not saying that as a knock on him, I am just curious as to why he is in the AHL at the moment.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>1. According to every source I read, he is already on the IR with no timeline for a return set.
3. Its part of the trade.
4. Yes Guhle would be, he is already better than Lindell. Just because the Sabres mismanaged their roster and have left him in the AHL while keeping with trash in the NHL doesnt mean hes an AHL talent.</div></div>

Better than Lindell? Please pass on whatever you are smoking. Lindell has turned himself into one of the most underrated defensive blue liners in the game. He's spent more time on the PK than every player in the league, with the exception of 4 of them. He almost single-handed kept an injury torn defense together and they are now the 2nd best defense in the league. As good as Klingberg is offensively, you're looking at his counterpart defensively. Guhle is nowhere close to Lindell right now.
