Player Discussion: dylan samberg

[Atoyot]

2 assists for Samberg to open the World Championships, playing top pair. Sweet dish on his second assist.

 

[Eyeseeing]

I’ve been a huge supporter of his, even he struggled at the beginning of the year.
He shows a lot of poise and way more upside than Stanley.

He's a borderline second pairing guy right now and likely solidifies a top 4 spot next year. Definitely a good player for us and finally a 2nd round hit!

I like that he's very responsible defensively - and he makes it a priority.
I can seeing him playing with a more offensive / experienced dman pretty much on any pairing.

If he turns into a bonafide top 4 D it would help ease the pain caused when looking at the Winnipeg Jets 2017 draft and seeing bustalainen's name, our first major 1st round screw up...(at least Stanley is a borderline NHLer)

Samberg was one of my surprises of the season, really rounded into form as the season went on gaining invaluable experience. Sure he made a few mistakes but you can see that he has it in him to provide more to the Jets and become a all around good top 4 d man. A little more offence would help

 

[Jet]

Rounding into a top 4 shutdown guy - someone you can rely on in all situations. . Very impressed with his season

Do you expect him to be top-4 for us on the depth chart this upcoming year?

I was impressed by his in-season development too. I wonder if he were paired with Morrissey, then more of 44's offensive skills can be mined?

Great tournament for this guy, lovely to see.

 

[SUX2BU]

Snerg is having a good tournament

Great to see

I didn’t think he stood out in his two part seasons with the moose, now here he is looking like a top four D. Could henola or chisholm have similar potential? They both looked better with the moose than samberg did at the time.

Samberg finds new confidence in his game after World Championship | Winnipeg Jets

"To finally be able to play and realize 'I have this, I can bring this' was a big takeaway for me."

www.nhl.com

"For me personally, I felt like I discovered more of an offensive side of my game. I felt like I played a little bit more free, I felt really relaxed out there. I started to enjoy it. I feel like I have of an offensive side of my game that I didn't know," said Samberg of his tournament experience.

"The coaches were harping on me all year about that in Winnipeg. To finally be able to play and realize 'yes I have this, I can bring this' was a big takeaway for me."

***

Lots of positive here. Sounds like he has the confidence to play a bigger role with the Jets.

 

[JetsFan815]

Sign him on an 8 year deal at $4.75 million per. I have seen enough to make that type of bet on him!

Hey, we saw that potential when he set up the game winning goal in OT in the Vegas series.

 

[MardyBum]

Yeah long term would be my preference, no need for a bridge, would just end up costing more in a few years.

 

[DRW204]

i would not be surprised if samberg may opt for a short-term deal instead of inking himself to a long-term deal prior to really being given higher responsibilities or opportunity for points. he's been a tad under 15 mins a night, essentially all 3rd pair, w/ only 78 gp & 13 career pts. ofc Jets should and probably will push to get him inked through some UFA years. but the resume/experience imo is lacking to anchor himself to an AAV at a high-term at this stage.

Agree.

Would much rather go longer-term now for a solid young D with upside than grind it out and Andrew Copp him all the way to FA (epic Copp return notwithstanding).

I could see him opting for a short term deal if the Jets want him for a lowball deal. But if they offer a long term deal that's fit for a respectable 2nd pairing d-man I don't see much incentive for him to not sign. 2nd pair d-man seems to make between 3.5-4.5 million, I'd be comfortable offering him that to secure term and hoping that he can be a high end 2nd pairing guy.

And on a bridge he's how much in your mind?

I am not sure but I am assuming slightly more than what Stanley had on his current contract... Liljegren and Sandin both signed 2 years at 1.4 million per after a season after being NHL regulars for 1 season with similar 5v5 usage and role as Samberg. I would imagine it would be in that 1.4-1.5 million ballpark range for 2 years.

He is nowhere near a 2nd pairing. Not even close. He gets sixth defenseman bucks and not a penny more.

I would be simultaneously excited and horrified if Chevy did just that!
