He also gets a $1 mil signing bonus each of the first three years. Have added both of these pieces of info to the blog.

good compromise. not concerned. if he takes off we wont want to trade him any way. if not, only 11 teams are out.

Thoughts on:

Miller, Linderg, Nieves, and 2018 2nd

for

Johnson, Namestnikov, and 2018 4th

???

Good deal, pretty much what we figured.

They should have to make the teams they don't want to go to public. Would be funny to see where these players don't want to play.

SOunds fair

fingers crossed we have to pay him big money at the end of this... since that would mean he would have earned it. he has all the skills. just needs to put it all together. hopefully the whole team has a bounce back year this year and kreider takes off.

on another note. I would LOVE to get shattenkirk. him and McD on the same pair would be amazing!

staal or girardi have to get moved for us to have a shot at shattenkirk. the money he'll command on extension or as a rfa will obviously be sky high.

cant have girardi and staal over $5.5, mac due a big raise and sign shattenkirk unless the cap skyrockets

I betcha Edmonton and Winnipeg are always a place players don't want to play

still can't believe Lucic signed there

im surprised a team like TOR or PHO would not be interested in Girardi.. good vet with experience and great locker room guy... I agree, one of those 2 need to be moved in order to get Shatty... I do not want to see Nash moved to get a Dman... we already have too many as it is.

Be alot nicer if Girardi could give us another 2 decent years and then buy him out

McDavid + Lucic being from Western Canada probably helped.

any chance there is a buyout period with the new franchises coming in?

Would be nice if we could buy you out. Immediately. Like right now.

Between this & the McD deal from a few yrs back we got a lot of great, young bang for our buck. Now its on Kreider to really break out like he should have by now & blow up this league.

If Edmonton can start icing a more competitive team, I don't think it would be that big of a deal. 1/2 the games are away, and when you have that much money you can spend your time off on a Caribbean island if you wanted too. Thaw out from the Edmonton winter.

McDonagh becomes a UFA before Kreider does now

summer of 2019 for McDonagh, that's gonna be big.
