Thread: Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Texas416_er</b></div><div>Is Lily's buddy also an RFA who seems allergic to consistency? I would rather trade him in the off season than sign him for more. He will be on the 2nd pair if they only sign one major right shot D man like Roy or Pesce or DeMelo (or even Walker), and 3rd pair if they were to sign two of the three.

Again, McMann was a UFA and Dewar is an RFA</div></div>

AAV goes up along with contract length (for RFAs). Hard to estimate how much an RFA like Lilly would make. Don't see any reason why this isn't a reasonable price, though. It makes the most sense for the team. If he doesn't want to sign it, then we'll just trade him. But it's certainly not completely off from reality. Lilly has struggled to hold a spot in the top-4 pretty much up until this season, and the only reason he probably hasn't lost that spot is due to injuries and this blueline being weak as hell. Wouldn't be surprised to see him on the 3rd pair (again) come playoff time.

Thread: What do you guys think
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChrisG</b></div><div>dog respectfully you have pontus holmberg as your 3rd line centre, jarnkrok in that position is way better, despite it not being for a while. but if that's egregious then use the money from samsonov to get a 3C in FA, maybe Henrique?

whats wrong with domi? putting the last name aside, hes been great in the absence of mitch, and feistier than bert and mccabe. hes fast and while awful defensively, great at generating chances. also yea i would agree that Andersson doenst have to be the guy. i like Pesce and Roy filling that spot</div></div>

One of Holmberg, Minten, Kampf or Dewar being 3C is more likely. We've pretty much had a 3C of that quality for the past 5 years outside of ROR. I honestly really like Holmberg. He's improved a lot throughout this season and has the potential to grow next season. That can be a good line if you can put him on a line with someone like Nyalnder and Knies/Mcmann. If you think it needs an upgrade, then you trade your 1st at the deadline for a 2/3C. But throughout the regular season, it's fine.

I love Domi and the season he's having. But I honestly just wouldn't be confident in giving him 4.5-5 million over the next 5 seasons. He's just too one-dimensional of a player. He's incredible at generating offence off the rush and can make some really nice passes. But for a player making that kind of money, I'd want more. I'd rather give that money to Bertuzzi. His finishing has been very unlucky this season, but his style of hockey is more important to this team based on what we have on the rest of our roster. And his contract will be only marginally more expensive (if at all) than Domi's.

Thread: I swear everyone makes bad ACGMs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mondo</b></div><div>He's good at producing on the third line, and is going to be less than 2 million AAV. 6th highest on the team for PTS/60.

I don't think Cowan/Minten are fully ready and shouldn't be relied upon to be ready.</div></div>

That second point is the only reason I could see us keeping him. His production is fine but it doesn't really fit the style our 3rd line should play. Perhaps next year, there's a better scenario for him where he isn't playing with a defensive liability in Domi, but also isn't playing with an offensive liability in Kampf. He also just isn't anywhere close to being ready to compete in the playoffs. I think he'd be killed against a team like Florida/Boston if he played this season. Only reason I'd be content with keeping him at this point is if we could elevate his usage so he puts up better numbers, increasing his value, and trading him for something of larger valuu. With big minutes and with good players, I could see him being a 50-60 point guy (that we don't need).
