So, no #8 for you Dahlin

 

[couture23]

Nice deal.

#26 is still available.

 

[Der Jaeger]

yah!

 

[Chainshot]

Unexpected depth guy gets done early. Good.

 

[brian_griffin]

This week-plus of awesome just keeps on rolling along.

Nothing bad is gonna happen ever again.

Quick Terry & Kim, knock down the Skyway before someone notices.

 

[Duddy]

Nice

Now get Asplund signed

 

[sincerity0]

Depth contract for a depth player.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Pretty important signing. Good job. Good offseason so far. Keep going.

(obviously Nelson is the RHD backup plan in case Dahlin won't sign in BUF)

True story: My wife's great-grandfather's last name was Nelson. When he went into the Swedish army for his military service, the inducting officer said there were too many Nelsons, so he made him choose a new different (Swedish) last name, which has remained the family last name to this day. When my wife learned that story, she gave her first son the middle name Nelson to commemorate/preserve that legacy.

See, I love the Skyway. So I'd put that in the "BAD" column.

 

[Royal Thunder]

Nice. Hoping Asplund and Blackwell are next.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Good signing
Risto, Dahlin, Bogo, Nelson, Borgen on the right. I'm cool with that Play the first 3 until Bogo inevitably breaks down and 1 of Nelson or Borgen can jump in the lineup. Even the left is not exactly atrocious with Scandella, McCabe, Guhle, Pilut (supposedly), Bealieu although I'd rather trade away McCabe and get an actual top4 D instead.

He basically has Taylor Fedun’s deal.

You’re talking about one of the few bright spots in an otherwise forgettable season (of garbage)... this makes me way happier than it probably should.

He basically has Taylor Fedun’s deal.

Fedun's deal is two-way and for league minimum. This is for more than league minimum and presumably one-way. I don't see the connection other than both being two year deals for less than $1M per.

 

[jBuds]

I knew some sort of significant deal had to have happened to send the boards down for a few

 

[WeDislikeEich]

Nice!

Good depth signing.

He was showing some progress as the year went on, too.

Is there any confirmation it's a 1-way deal? With the current logjam at D (even if they are mediocre D) it would have made sense to perhaps do a two-way on year 1 and one-way on year 2 type deal.

There's no confirmation, but Nelson's previous deal was one-way the second year.

I was thinking more about cheap depth.

It's cheap depth, sure, but Fedun's deal looks like a deal for a guy you expect to be in the minors (minimum NHL salary, two-way but with a high minor league salary). Nelson's deal is obviously low risk, but it doesn't look like they expect him riding the bus with Rochester.
