Speculation: 2018-19 Roster Discussion #3 - Not so bad at the moment

I think the surgery and recovery is relatively proven science at this point.

I see 6x$6M for Schmaltz. I have no concerns at that term/figure.

I have a problem with both. That is way too much money and way too much term for an above average winger. Anything at 6 mill+ or 6+ years of term, needs to be for a proven 1c/2c, or top pairing D. This is where you make mistakes by over paying and too much term for the easiest position to replace (wingers). If its at a Taylor Hall or above level winger, different story, then you pay it.

Because we have so many first and second line wingers.

I suspect the plan is to play him at 1C.

A proven 1c or top pairing D comes at price of 8 per year minimum now days.

Schmaltz?

 

[Mosby]

Schmaltz?

Yeah. I think they'll go back to the Galchenyuk-Schmaltz-Keller line.

Keller and Schmatlz paired on the same line are the building blocks of a 5v5 disaster.

Especially with Schmaltz at C.

Production wise Galchenyuk is actually worst of the three 5 on 5.

Keller and Schmaltz are at least on the fringes of raw top line productivity 5 on 5, in per 60 they are a little more second lineish 5 on 5.

Galchenyuk is lucky to score at 3rd line rates 5 on 5.

Dvorak got what, 4.5 million per for 6 years? Schmaltz will get at least 5.5 per I would say, and justifiably so. He’s got the potential to be a point per game or near point per game player and the chemistry he showed with Kells makes me think that it’s fairly realistic that he reaches that potential in the near future. Dvo and Chych both got paid with some assumed future growth factored in and Schmaltz probably will too. He’ll get somewhere around 5.5-6.
