The longer the term, the more dollars. I'll be happy to see him signed for 2 or 3 years. I wouldn't be surprised, if it's 3 years, for it to be around 3.
Bjorkstrand does have 60 points in 120 games which is pretty good. There are a lot of players with ~0.4 PPG who have signed 2-3 year deals between 2-3M coming off their ELCs. 0.5 PPG or slightly above have signed around 3M. Jarmo has been stingy with these RFAs and when considering that + cap going up + Bjorkstrand's low number of games played, I think he's going to end up somewhere below 3M. Maybe 2.75M. Could be lower too depending how they view the games played argument (Domi just signed 2 x 3.15M and has played 100 more games while also scoring more). I think 3 x 2.75M would be pretty solid.

I don't think he'll get much more than Anderson and likely also a 3 year deal. I would imagine it's a 3 year $6.3MM deal
Yeah I just came here to say to expect something very similar to what Anderson got.

Jarmo had a couple of questionable contracts in the beginning , but it seems like he’s growing into an excellent GM
Respectfully, if you can't make this deal you don't deserve to be a GM in the NHL. This one was pretty easy.
Easy decision in term/dollars, if you look back at the post I responded to. The agent certainly didn't have any type of real leverage either.

“It’s a great way to say it, that he ‘quietly’ had 40 points last year,” said Bjorkstrand’s agent, Peter Fish. “If he had all of the opportunities that some of the other guys did … but he’s such a team player, and he just goes out and does his job.
“If you want to plug him in on the third line, he’s there. You want to plug him on the fourth line or the second line, power play time … he’ll do whatever, and he just goes about his job.”
I remember Torts said that "Bjorky never complains, other guys goes to him and complain about their ice time and so on, but Bjorky is a quiet guy and he doesn't say a word." I think Bjork needs to be a little louder.

Well he scored 2 goals in 1 game, was rewarded with "...meh, needs to check more". Did what he was told to do.

"Coincidentally" he scored less from that point. And ironically his plus/minus number deteriorated with his increased checking.Well he scored 2 goals in 1 game, was rewarded with "...meh, needs to check more". Did what he was told to do.
Now I know +/- is considered a dubious number, but when a player throughout his career (all leagues) posts only plus numbers - oh, one year was a minus 1 - it's a meaningful stat. Those words "check more" may have increased his "competitiveness" but seemingly at a cost. Maybe, he will successfully integegrate the checking with his offensive game. If he doesn't, I'd just as soon have the"old Bjork who checks less" (which will produce points and will earn him 12 minutes a game).
I like OB a lot and am hoping for a solid 2nd line year.
