risk/reward
I was thinking 7 x 4mil sounds about right if he'd bite. I might go up a little bit 4.5 would be the max if not to high then just do a bridge. After all, Tyler Myers only got 5.5. I'd be to worried about the hips to go close to 5 long term without seeing him prove he can stay healthy. He is already better than Goligoski in my opinion so he theoretically should be worth close to his money. Yes I know Goligoski was proven first my point is balancing what his game is worth with the risk. The more I think about it a bridge deal probably makes the most sense unless you can lock him up for close to 4. I'm thinking he is going to get 3 anyways so an extra mil to lock him up longterm would be worth it. Then if he stays healthy and continues his play, we have a steal, a what appears to be a perinial allstar caliber player on a cheap contract locked up. I'd give as long a contract as I could for 4mil if he stays healthy the rest of the season.
goalsagainstki doesn't hit the tape on passes at anywhere near the rate as the klingberg does
he just tosses it in the general direction
send his ass on down by the river
get a big dude
keep klingberg long term
Yeah but there's way more risk with him than the normal person. Usually you have to worry about plain old regression. With him he carries a bigger concern with his hips.
No way he settles for anything under 10x7M.
No way he gets close to that as Rfa. Maybe if he gets a bridge deal and plays this way that's close but if he wants term and money now it's not close to that money. And if I'm not mistaking you can't give 10 years anymore.

I know he's been outstanding, but it's 6 games. I'll bet there are some downs to go with his current ups along the way. I highly, highly doubt he will keep up this level of play throughout his entire rookie season. Let's see how he handles adversity when he has a few bad games, not to mention how he holds up physically with the grind of an NHL season. Far too early for anything like these contract projections after 6 games.

I go for it, makes Goligoski/Daley expendable.
Absolute no to Franson. He can be so putrid at times (see last year) he makes Jordie look good. Leaf fans were hoping to get a mid round pick for him last year. Surprising turn around for the guy and I believe this year to be an anomaly in his career.
