I don't think either of those are comparables. Laine will already have his own value determined by his existing contract and qualifying offer.If Roslovic has 4 million, how much will Boqvist and Laine want?
Tale of two seasons kinda undersells it. Just this year many wanted him traded. Two seasons to prove if he can put a full season together of good play makes sense to me. I know you aren't personally arguing for him to be signed longer but I'm just saying this doesn't really surprise me ig.I am surprised that they opted for short term and walk him right to UFA. Especially at that price tag.
I figured he was getting a 4-6 year deal. Even if he was a tale of two seasons last year, I think he was worth more of an investment than 2 years. But whatever, I hope he plays well enough to earn another deal. And if not I’m sure he’d have trade value
THIS SUCKS ... that it seems reasonable on both sides. What is there to talk about?

I think this is what Jarmo is banking on when it comes time to negotiate again. He can stay at home and be the pride of Columbus or we could ship him off to another team at the deadline for appropriate compensation.In two years this should be a fun team with lots of skill to play with, if Roslovic progress would he take the fabled "hometown discount"?
Term makes sense for both parties.………I was hoping for$3.5M but I’ve read on these boards an extra million here, million there doesn’t have much impact - and this is only a half million.
