Other physical dmen who can fight and play on the bottom pairing:

Roman Polak
Luke Schenn
Alexei Emelin
Ian Cole
Eric Gryba

...dare I say Luca Sbisa

I’ll take them on short term deals and have them “protect” the team.

Cole isnt fighting anyone. Gryba cleared waivers. Polak had no one want him even for cheap. Schenn has been bounced around. Emelin makes more then Gudbranson.
Cole is also going to be making more then Guds.

I was joking

Yeah its not polite to call him an idiot you insensitive jerk

Cole had 6 fights in his last 3 seasons coming into this season. That’s a decent amount for a dman since they usually only fight if it’s really warranted, none of that stupid staged fighting crap. He’s going to be making more than 4M over 5 or 6 years? lol


If Polak can play bottom pairing mins on playoff teams then he can here too.

What makes EG way better than Schenn?

Emelin I meant as a UFA.

Did you miss the winky face guy, so was I...

For the right price, im all for keeping him. Not the price he reportedly wants.

That is the $64,000 question

- manvanfan

We won’t get him at the price we want.

I like him over most of the guys I mentioned just like you do(except I don’t Schenn is much worse and Cole is arguably better).

The problem is that he’s going to want a big contract, none of them will

Edler looking Norris worthy

For the right price , would also be good to see what’s available on the market, I’d rather keep him than only realize a 3rd round pick, but for the right price.

If the market feels the need to over pay his worth. Go in search of another tough D.

I doubt he only returns a 3rd. Bobby Mac even said there’s plenty of interest.

i agree completly , if he wants to be here and its not a Crazy # , jump on board.

seems like the Nucks came to play , lots of hits

I hope we overpay for EG . I would embrace four years of rage and hysteria

I hope the Sedins get 2 year extensions. Edler extension for 3 years.

Connor Murphy 3.85
Michael Stone 3.5
Adam Mcquiad 2.7

Good comparables to EG. Murphy and Stone are newer contracts. Mcquaid in his 3rd of 4.

Heck MDZ is probably a comparable contract. Just the way the players are paid now. Player salaries go up every season with the cap.
