There's also the matter of Girgensons' astronomical shooting % last year

But in the interest of placating Boss and ending the conversation, ill just say he's very good and worth every penny!

- jcragcrumple


90 Shots average of 8 shooting % is 7-8 goals.

$2.25M for a third-line/bottom-six center who's capable of around 15 goals/25 points and also helps the pk doesn't seem all that high to me
- Michael Pachla


Are you referring to Girgensons here or Eakin ?

We signed Eakin for $2.5M while Janmark and Wennberg signed for $1M less and Haula is still sitting out there and is a better player. Also Larry was already here and only got $1.4M.

We gave Girgensons $2.2M and guys like Maroon, Clifford, Simon, Vesey, Hinozstra all signed for at least $1M less.

Does he stay a RFA? Or is he a UFA because of his age?

Looks like it as well.

Not bad at all.

They have about 3.5 in cap space. Move out a blue liner and Hutton and get me Kuemper.

I’d still sign Kahun or maybe even Hoffman because I’m not sure where Cozens and Tage fit in here.

May I ask why ?

All of those players are 3rd line Centers.

Wennberg and Janmark are also good defensively and can actually handle the minutes they’d be ask to play.

To get a good return on Eakin we’d have to shelter him defensively. He is literally the forward version of Ristolainen. He gets caved in offensively and defensively but because he has an above average shot he scored 22 goals two years ago.

Good deal for the Sabres, was off a couple days but knew they were close. Still a RFA with the 2yr deal too.

When you factor in bonuses and call ups, that's a cap team. Pretty much $ in = $ out now.

I think tage will be given every opportunity in the top-nine and by the time the nhl starts, presumably in february the way it looks, cozens will have had a good chunk of playing time in junior and will have played in the world juniors which will give them a good indication on where he's at developmentally
