Depends on how his bonuses are structured. I would think around $2 M but that's not based on anything concrete.

K thanks. I looked at Skinners contract, since he was drafted 6? 8th? He had a cap hit of 1.4, so I was guessing it'd be in the 1,3-1.8 range.

Who's he compatible too?

Has big goal scoring potential and loves to rush into the play. VERY physical, thats the only place where Murray comparison comes in IMO.

Kind of like a less defensively inclined Shea Weber. Makes lots of mistakes, takes lots of risk, but they pay off. Big time project player.

EDIT: No, not Shea Weber. Just similar in that they are big, mean, physical, and jump into the play. Kevin Bieksa might be a bit more accurate.

Im not advocating spending 7+ on him, just stating he was also hurt and playing with less talent.

ive made it known I want Stamkos haha. or just get Laich, Leino and Konopka

- tjp2033


There's no way they can get all 3 of those players. It's a Laich or Leino, but no way both.

DAL is loaded w/ forward talent...at least until Neal got moved.

Ill take Stamkos in a heartbeat over Richards. not to mention he is much younger and murders us every time we play him

And Austin smith

Would have preferred Bealieu or even Murphy, who is my friend actually. Just went to Phoenix.

I come up with it because it's the truth. Very below average defensively.

He is the Mike Green of the west... except an even bigger defensive liability

Larsson is the bigger steal. Potential franchise d-man.
