Shocked the price was less than Darling.
Not technically confirmed yet, but I doubt Heika's wrong.
Hoping we can sign him to a reasonable deal. Anything less than 4 years of term and I'm happy.
Now it's confirmed via Stars' Twitter.
So what do we think the chances of him returning to his Vezina caliber form are? I don't really have a good feel for whether he regressed this past season or not.
Glad they're taking the position seriously, but I think the term he'll demand will likely petrify me. 4 years I'm fine with, longer than that, eek.
Would love to know the entire backstory. Darling signed pretty quickly. Even though its not technically allowed for DAL to speak to Bishop to see if he is signable, maybe they did get a sense via working through LAK?
Get ready for 6. I think 5 is rock bottom minimum.
Buy-out Lehtonen? Niemi is gone in 1 more year.
Wow .... that's excellent news for Dallas. Unless he's not planning on signing with someone he thinks can be a playoff team .... there aren't really any other options for starters out there.
