Thread: Opening Night Roster and Lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>User123409871234</b></div><div>Is Robertson only asking for an 8x8? I would imagine him asking for the 9 Kaprizov got</div></div>

I was thinking that Robo would get that kind of contract too just based on how they've been compared to each other and their careers in the NHL thus far, but let's be honest, Kaprizov is just better than Robertson. He's got more points, the calder, and had the leverage of going back to the KHL when he was negotiating the extension, so I think based on that, Robertson is more in the neighborhood of 8x8, similar to what Robert Thomas got. I personally feel like Robertson (just going off his personality in the media and whatnot) is less about the money and more about the team so might not care to sign for a little less if it means using that extra money to acquire/sign new players

Thread: Klingberg returns in a shorter deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>behale8</b></div><div>I'm not sure why Anaheim agrees to that deal?

I also think those bridge deals are still under valued, even for bridge deals. I understand the comparisons, but those were both several years ago. I think Robo gets around $7M per and Oetter gets $5M per.

On Klinger... I wouldn't consider 5 years a shorter deal. I would offer 3. Almost like a bridge deal for Klinger. See if he can regain his former self and then sign him to a multi-year, higher paid extension (4 or 5 year extension at $8M per). Then he gets his long-term deal and high dollars.</div></div>

If they do your proposed "bridge" deal with Klinger and he regains some of his form, why would you then sign him to a longer deal with a higher AAV? He'll be 33 years old by then, wouldn't it be better to just let him walk/trade him after the 3 years than to cap strap yourself again by giving him another raise? Harley will be more developed then, as will Bischel and hopefully Kyrou and/or Fegaras, so Klingberg would be a bottom 3 defenseman on this team when that new contract would kick in

Thread: My Realistic Dream Scenario with Expansion Draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>behale8</b></div><div>Could not have said it any better. There's also the potential that Seattle takes Faksa because he DOES have that contract, as a certain amount of the players they select have to be under contract. I would definitely protect Dickinson over Faksa.

My protection list for Dallas would be Seguin, Benn, Radulov, Pavelski, Gurianov, Hintz, Dickinson for the Forwards. Heiskanen, Klingberg and Lindell for Defense, and Bishop for goaltender.</div></div>

Unless Dallas signs one of Dowling, Cogliano, or Comeau to a new contract, Dallas is going to have to leave Faksa exposed in the expansion draft. If they protect Faksa over Dickinson, they only have 1 of 2 forwards that meet the NHL's expansion draft requirements. The only other options are Pavelski, Hintz, and Gurianov &amp; there's no shot Dallas exposes any of those 3.

As it stands right now, Faksa has to be the forward exposed in the expansion draft &amp; I'm perfectly fine with that.
