his $1m would be replaced by a youngin like Rodrigues who played for $925K last season or Fasching ($925) or Baptiste ($718K)...imo, let the youngsters get the development they need...the $300k or less in savings isn't that big of a difference
- Michael Pachla

Let him walk 300k or not, give it to Rodrigues it's time for him to stay up with the big club.

I think he's a 3c, but let's call him a 4c. Do you think every 4th liner should be league minimum? I don't think there's a team out there that has that situation. If every 4th liner on your team is making 1 mil and is productive, that's AMAZING cap management

Not going to go back and fourth with you over a scrub player, we have better options then him. Give Rodriguez a chance.

1M for a 3/4 center is really not a big deal.

1.3 is not a big deal

I think they get a bad rap. The red-eye, really cold, is a great option on a hot night. Many of the new brews are genuinely good. And I'm even thinking of getting back into the creamers. I spent half of my highschool years farting them out the morning after.

I have Larsson as 3C and Erod as 4C with Josefson as the 13th skater. There's room for both..

If the team is to be made up of speed is Larsson even necessary?

love Rodrigues and he's almost there when it comes to making it...no need to rush it over $300k...and i think you underestimate Larsson some...i get the stats portion of it but he's been acclimating to the NHL very well and was having a pretty strong season before mcquaid took him out

7 game winning goals for Larsson in his last 100 games as a sabre

eichel has 9 in 142 games

If you like hero charts, Larsson is either an above average 4th liner or slightly below a good 3rd. His poop suppression, goals and shots for are all good. His assists per 60 are his week point.

fair enough. If his linemates this year are Pommer and Pouliot, I think his weak primary assists per 60 would go way up. Pouliot may play 2lw tho. Long story short, the stats say he's not a bad player

Hey Pach, I asked on a previous page, but everything I google says that the award must be 3.5 million or higher before a team van walk away from a ruling. Do you know if that's accurate.

As stated above, this list is subject to certain restrictions. The CBA prohibits parties from introducing or using the following:

any contract signed outside restricted free agency, including one signed after a team exercises a walk-away right;


From my understanding, this means that any contract signed by a UFA cannot be used to determine what a comparable contract would be, correct? If this is accurate, then I would not expect Lehner to get more than $3m. The highest RFA goalie contract currently is Mrazek at $4m. Then Murray at $3.75m, Vasilevskiy at $3.5m, Gibson at $2.3m and Domingue at $1.05m. If you average the top 5 RFA goalie contracts that would come to $2.93m. Drop the #1 and #5 and it goes up to around $3.1m. I would be ok with anything between $3-3.5m.

Oprah gave me the green light in late 1984, but that's when she was fat.

That's still missing the portion where his QO is the absolute lowest he can get. Based on previous salary (celery)
