Thread: Dubas Likely To Be Aggressive
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>I'm not saying I necessarily would pay them more either - maybe would need to find alternatives. And I don't think you egregiously underpaid anybody. I just think there's multiple guys there that have a very good chance of making a few hundred K more each. I normally don't like to nitpick AAVs - it's just when you're that close to the cap it might cause an issue haha.

Yeah I'd agree he's tough to gauge. With the cap going up I could see him getting the same AAV as a guy like Palat - maybe not likely though. Even if he does sign at 5.5 though, I can see Duclair/Wennberg/Walker getting some more. Again I don't think you're far off by any means, it's just any increase puts you over the cap. I'm probably just being an annoying nitpicker haha. So that's my bad. I do think it would be a good team though</div></div>

All good. I thought it provided depth the forward group lacks. Money might be tight to pull off. Maybe the goat recruits well lol

Thread: Dubas Likely To Be Aggressive
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>Dubas hasn't been aggressive at all in season, at the deadline, or since the season ended. Quite the opposite with pathetic complacency when obvious changes should have happened. So claiming he will be aggressive this offseason doesn't seem likely and is still past due. I like Walker and think he would be good value on this contract, but PIT plays their 3RD ~12m/game. Just no justification to add to that position.</div></div>

That's fair. Though he did ship off Geuntzel. That was a very big move. In the offseason when he took over, he made changes as well.

With one of the goat's leading the team, I think he will be active.

Walker adds some insurance for Karlsson though a more defensive dman could make more sense.

Thread: KYLE TURN UP GAP YEAR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Not a bad effort. The D group and goaltending is spot on. Chatfield probably gets a little more $ per and gets 2 or 3 years, but he's the right type of player. Can't see Stammer signing w/ the Hawks, especially for one year. I'm going to be surprised if he leaves Tampa. PK88 coming back would be awesome, but seems unlikely as well. But I do expect the Hawks to be aggressive in free agency and sign at least two top 6 level forwards. As for that trade, Hawks perspective just keep Reichel. Can't see why Hawks make that deal</div></div>

For sure. Stammer probably unlikely but definitely looking to add to the top 6 but only short term. The potential free agency class next year makes sense to keep money for.

I wasn't sure about how the org felt about Reichel's development. Edmonton gets a cheaper forward and Bourgault a much better opportunity.
