Boom!

[GoldiFox]

Wow - good for the Canes. Speedy goal scorer, hopefully comes in under $4 million at 2 years. Great term anyway

Edit: $3.25 million + $3.5 million

 

[Svechhammer]

Wait, what?

Awesome!

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Starting to look reaaaaally good boys.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Seems I can't change the title, but 2 years at $3.375 AAV is great value.

 

[Vagrant]

huge, huge pickup. i don't know if this means williams is going to retire, but this is a slam dunk addition.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

hard to complain when it is a UFA contract under 4m

 

[spockBokk]

Great news.

I wonder how Williams and the RFAs fit in after this. They have the rest of the summer to figure that out though. Excellent term and price. Exactly the guy I wanted them to get.

Mrazek and Dzingle both signed below what I expected on the open market. Two of the better Free Agency deals.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I think Dzingel is closer to a 35-40 pt guy than a 50 pt guy, but at less than $4m per I don’t really care. Very reasonable term too, keeps money off the books for when Necas and Svech need it. Wowzers.

 

[Svechhammer]

Man, our depth is starting to show.

If Willy comes back, we could be readying to make a serious run soon

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

good contract

 

[RodTheBawd]

This board is part of the GMBC and we don't even know it.

 

[Novacane]

Interesting. Training camp should be a bloodbath if they bring Williams back as well

 

[AD Skinner]

Awesome. Should be 40ish points in the bank. Another lefty though- I know they cant just sit around waiting on williams to make a decision but I definitely want him back if for no other reason than to have a righty in case necas isn't quite ready.

EDIT Heck even if he isn't the forwards are getting crowded... off the top of my head

Nino-Aho-TT
Dzingel-Haula-Svechnikov
Williams(?)-Staal-Foegele
Necas-Martinook-McGinn(?)

EDIT again and I totally forgot Wallmark

 

[GoldiFox]

Dzingle scored 20 5v5 goals last year. The top Canes 5v5 scorers were Aho with 14 and Svech with 13.

Dzingle's 39 5v5 points are right up with Aho (40) + TT (40). Ahead of Williams (34) with a huge drop then down to Ferland (25).

Dzingle immediately becomes one of the more talented wingers on the team.

You don't get to Surge elsewhere.

 

[Lempo]

Five PPG is like 400 points in full season.

 

[GoldiFox]

On the Center note - Dzingle has taken ~100 faceoffs in his 4 year career and his FO% is about 40%. Not sure he will see much time there unless he's going to FO school with Rod.

 

[Lempo]

Also, Jim Carrey as Vanilla Ice was wrong: Dzingle rhymes with Winkle.

 

[zman77]

Ryan Dzingel:
Scouting:

Has great skating ability and can play on either side of center at the highest level, which adds to his overall value. Works hard every shift and displays good energy. Lacks ideal size (6-0, 190 pounds) for the National Hockey League game, so he could stand to develop even more bulk and strength in order to maximize production.

Yeah I didn’t realize he only played 11 games last year. Hoping with his talent level he can stay healthy for us!

.....

at $3.5m AAV for the next 2 years.

its crazy when you add what could be your 3rd or 4th most productive forward for the next couple years at a 3rd or 4th liners price range

or maybe that speaks to how weak our offense can be

 

[Vagrant]

carolina is employing the moneypuck strategy and it's been a favorable offseason as a result. they waited until everyone else blew their wad and then circled back on some of the better value players remaining that other teams didn't prioritize before they spent their budget. it's weird, but ferland signing might have been a domino for this deal if dzingel was also talking to vancouver.
