Karlsson will be 29 when signing his new contract and with his injury history . Thats just not a good investment for 7 or 8 years. 5 years ? Sure but 7 or 8 with a guy that had to go through this much ? I'm quesitoning that.
He'll easily still get the contract he wants though. Probably 7-8 years at $11m per
Money isn't the problem but i don't trust his longterm health. I'd give him more AAV for shorter but 7 or 8 years is not a good idea.
I don’t think they need to fire nill . They need to find someone like Toronto’s Dubas to come in and slowly take over through the next few years . Nill drafted terrible his first few drafts but I think his last 2 drafts have been good . His trading has been pretty good , and he’s been good at negotiating . I know Il get **** on for saying it but I think he has had a lot of **** luck when it comes to not only injuries but players underperforming during his time in dallas so far .
McPhee is also responsible the Erat:Forsberg tradeI have a bit more patience with Nill than others, but in seeing how McPhee turns things into big time players, do wonder about our efforts.
I think we have known for years what this team needs is more top end talent players, as evidenced by attempts to lure EK and JT. Of course, neither was successful, perhaps because Jim Nill wouldn't "give til it hurts, at least in the case of EK. But, they cost money, so I do wonder why he follows those failures by accepting lesser players, specifically, Hanzel and Comeau. (Got to hand it to him with Polak, but even he would be playing third pair if we got EK, and then we wouldn't have to have wasted a 4th and a 3rd on Jamie O and the Reverand, so even if he had given up a Hintz or JD, we probably would have been better off or about equal, in hindsight.
In the current NHL, you fill out lower lines exactly with the Nukes, JD, Pitlicks, etc., not pay the Hanzels and Comeaus and maybe Coligiano's to limp around in those roles. Am I right?
.... hes not 21... the article was saying if you told his 21 to self that he would be an assistant gm one day kind of thing, hes basically our cap guru after Frank left21 years old...man, I was drinking and partying at school at 21. Guess I missed my chance!
Yeah I had to read that caption fifty times.... hes not 21... the article was saying if you told his 21 to self that he would be an assistant gm one day kind of thing, hes basically our cap guru after Frank left

Good to hear I wasn't the only one completely thrown off by that title I was even more confused when I googled him and it said he's been a member of the Stars management for 17 years or something like that
I hope. Really wish Dallas would dip their toes in the Euro free agent pool. It’s (relatively) cheap, low risk and every year we’re seeing teams finding solid players from overseas.Would we have any interest in Oliwer Kaski this summer he is dominating in LIGA for HIFK. Played with Miro for a year as well and he is rumored to be wanting to come to the NHL. He played a year of travel hockey in Dallas, two years of college, and then moved back home to Finland.

Neither of those will happen thoughThought I’d look some buyouts up.
My guess is no Comeau buyout happens the summer. Gaglardi won’t want to write the check and the cap hits go on a while.
2019 buyout
Gaglardi pays Comeau $3 million.
Over the next four seasons, the cap hits are $566k, $1.16M, $766k, and $766k.
2020 buyout
Gaglardi pays Comeau $1.33 million.
Over the next two seasons, the cap hits would be $1M and $666k.
Since Nichushkin is under 26, his buyout is much cheaper this summer.
Gaglardi pays Nichushkin $900k.
Over the next two seasons the cap hits are $700k and $450k.
