I can live with 3M, I wouldn't like it but I could live with it. Unfortunately, it's going to be higher.

exactly

Yes, yes, the hate is strong in you my son.
- Pres.cup

okay, ignoring the hyperbole.


Who here prefers to sign EG at around 4M instead of trading him for a 2nd round pick?

Benning is just being greedy.

How was Marner and a 1st not enough?
- walshyleafsfan

Because Marner is a bust and the 30th ov pick is over rated.

ok, that's fine. But are we really going to pay a bottom pairing D man over 4 mill to be good on the PK and to play 12 minutes a night?
- Codes1087

Loui Eriksson is pissed no one is talking about him

oh my god, you're right. that d would be terrible.

the team might be competing for last place with that lineup.

you sure make a compelling argument to keep any of these guys.
- RealityChecker

What's the point in arguing about this again for the 100th time. We don't see eye to eye on how to build a team. I want a few vets around to play the hard minutes so prospects like Juolevi aren't getting destroyed. You want a full tear down. Agree to disagree.

c'mon let's be honest... if EG hadn't been drafted where he was, he'd be a bottom pairing d that gets signed in august.

the size and his "pedigree" keep fans wanting/expecting/wishing for more. let's be honest with who he is and cut bait.

that's not to say that the team shouldn't have size on the backend. i just don't want an overpaid 3rd pairing guy being the focus of it.
- RealityChecker

Like I said before, i'm okay either way. If he's not getting you SFA at the TDL, sign him and move him later.

little fukers annoying me today

lol sorry I don't share the same affection for EG that you do?

LE loves that Gudbranson is still on the team.

He if JB gets a good return, trade him and sign a UFA in July. No worries

Nucker? The Deal that is getting close is a resign not a trade.

it's more than that.

i prefer that the team be a little more forward thinking with their cap priorities.

trading EG isn't part of my tank desire. i just think he's a bad player. you think he's a good player. agree to disagree.

- VanHockeyGuy

So would you prefer to sign him at around 4M for 4-5 years with a limited NTC or trade him for a 2nd?

- VanHockeyGuy

if JB doesn't get a good return, but instead just A RETURN, I would be happy.

Just my opinion.

His value can only go up

Tell them you're close to giving an extension, panic them into a better offer

it's more than that.

Apparently they've been getting LOTS of calls on him.

Perhaps your not experienced at assessing the value of NHL defenceman?

but he'll get better... after how many seasons? after 2 "contract years" here....

did i mention he's big?
- RealityChecker

Big = playoffs.

It's simple math dude.

it's more than that.

I think he is a servicable player. Good is a stretch. I was hoping he would be a number 4 but he is playing like a 5/6. I don't care if he is traded or not. All I am saying is I want them to trade 2 defensman and not 3.

okay, ignoring the hyperbole.
