Confirmed with Link: Lagesson extended two years [$725k AAV]

[Samus44]

D-men take longer, he's only 24 and used to the European style. I think he can be a full time NHLer in the future.

He actually played college hockey and then 1 season in the SEL before playing for the Condors. He has plenty of NA experience.

I like Lagesson, he's smart and competes hard, but his foot speed needs to improve for him to be more than a depth guy. He certainly seems to be an overachiever so I won't count him out myself. Given his limitations I do have to question the idea of him having a long career here with all the depth at LD.

Nice
Cheap depth player
Now get Bear done Please

I like how Holland signs all these guys for dirt cheap first before extending Bear and RNH. Hopefully these guys see it and also take discounts in these difficult times

hopefully contracts for Bear and RNH enable the club the flexibility to add another piece via trade or UFA signing

I was thinking more of , trade the band aid klefbom.

trade the bandaid top pairing Dman just because an AHLer\#7 Dman is extended ?

 

[Draiskull]

I think our D of the future will be

Broberg Bouchard
Jones Bear
Samorukov Barrie I think Edmonton extends him
Lagesson

3 yrs down the road this could be possible but 3 yrs down the road we could also not have 5 of the 7 names mentioned in the organization.

Broberg/Bear - I like Bear's 2-way ability to compliment Broberg. Bear is a smart player. He had some tough minutes last season, and did exceptionally well as a rookie. The more experience he gets, the better he'll be in his own end + more comfortable he'll be making plays offensively.
Samorukov/Bouchard - This just makes... so much sense to me. For me, Samorukov's ceiling is as the #3 guy. He's a rock defensively, has a pretty complete skillset, and has quite a lot of experience playing with an offensive defenseman (& defensive liability) in Merkley. Bouchard may not be a liability defensively at this point in his development, but he's not the guy I throw on the top pairing getting those tough minutes.
Jones/Vet RD - Jones could just as easily be a 2LD in my head in 3 years time, but should Samorukov continue to impress, Dmitri makes a better partner for Bouchard imo.
Lagesson - Unclear what his ceiling is. He was effective at even strength for the Condors (didn't get PP time as far as I know), and is playing well in Sweden.

It's unlikely all these young D stick with the org and all hit their ceilings lol, but one can dream.
