Thread: Cant play with 5 D next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheMooterus</b></div><div>Honestly, I don't think you re-sign Pavelski. Love what he's done for the Stars, but the last 6 weeks have me real concerned that Father Time is catching up with him. I'm not against re-signing him, but I'd rather see that $3M go towards re-signing Duchene or adding a player to fill his role on the roster.

Also not sure I see Harley getting a 7 year deal. He's been solid, but if history shows us anything it's that Nill doesn't typically hand out long term deals immediately after an ELC (unless you're Miro Heiskanen). Robertson, Hintz, and Oettinger all produced at a high level for longer than Harley has this season &amp; they all received bridge deals. For Harley, you're looking at a 3-4 year deal &amp; if I had to guess, it's probably going to come in somewhere around what Oettinger got on his contract.</div></div>

While I don't disagree with your Pavs notion, I think whoever we sign to his post should a) be relatively cheap and b) come off the books quickly as guys like Johnston and Oettinger need big money contracts quite soon. I think Duchene is going to get better offers elsewhere that we can realistically offer. Benn and Lindell coming off the books within a year certainly helps keeping those guys, but we need to be mindful that the overall money we're paying doesn't break the bank imo. If they can muster a way for it to happen, I would LOVE to get some proven playoff performers in, like Marchessault or maybe Stamkos...but I don't consider this realistic.

Harley offer is more or less "wishful" thinking but I'd love to see the guy getting inked to a long term deal that would pay itself back later down the line, Klingberg esque. I think Harley would be worth such an investment. I do agree tho that it's more likely it'll be a shorter contract with less years in it.

Thread: change of scenery
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheMooterus</b></div><div>Dallas accepts. You're overrating and overvaluing Dellandrea by quite a bit here.

He's a bottom-6, do-it-all kind of forward that can play up and down the lineup if necessary. Not sure I'd set him as your long term 2RW and I definitely wouldn't be paying him almost $3M a year. I'm one of his bigger supporters and even I'll tell you that he's worth roughly half of that.

Immediate "yes" from Dallas, but honestly you could turn the 1st Round Pick into a 2025 2nd Round Pick and they'd still accept it pretty quickly.</div></div>

I really appreciate your comment. I think from Montreal side Dellandrea could fit well on a 3rd line with Krebs and Newhook. We have so many left handed defenseman and Harris could be a throw in. Dellandrea is still 23 and could help us. I can see :

Caufield Suzuki Slafkovsky
Lindstrom Dach Roy
Newhook Krebs Dellandrea
RHP Beck Heineman

Guhle Matheson
Xhekaj Mailloux
Hutson Reinbacher
Struble

We can trade other pieces to maybe add a real top 6 instead of Roy.
