I'll wait for the AAV but I'm interested to know what our analytics say about this guy. Giving big money and term to a guy who's done it for one year is always a gamble.

 

[Brock Anton]

Our offseason gameplan seems to be “f*** Dallas”.

 

[A Star is Burns]

As I mentioned in the FA thread, it's risky, but if he is what he became last year, it could be great. Hopefully, this fresh start will help him with a difficult time in his life.

 

[Ole Gil]

Guys coming out of super powered offenses make me nervous.

He's nino but he also hits people

 

[A Star is Burns]

Guys coming out of super powered offenses make me nervous.

The only thing that makes me feel better about the risk (and we'll see what the AAV is), is that he brings other elements even if he's not so high scoring. Seems like he'd be a good fit regardless.

[Canes]

I like the move on paper. Hopefully it works out on the ice as well.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Im thinking 2.85 million per.

Also, one of the best in the league at parking his ass in front of the net and whacking at rebounds. Which is a type of player I've wanted the Canes to sign for roughly the entire time I've watched hockey.

Always thought he was a major pain in the ass when they played Florida.

That could be. I think Borsig said something about being nervous over locking up Nieds and not knowing why. Maybe it's because if he's not scoring goals, he's just out there taking penalties and not much else.

How many games before Burns kills him with a slapshot?

 

[Primetime8]

Fits the Canes love of analytics.

lol I wish

Yup. I was guessing Hornqvist would be the cap dump move, but Marchment should give similar benefits.

In some ways, this is the Trocheck PP replacement, playing net front and probably goal line.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

I was pretty sure that the Canes would try to make a move on one of the Marchment/Mikheyev/Nino trio. Marchment is a really good add. Interested to see the terms, but a 4 year deal only takes him to age 31, so he's not a typical UFA in that sense.

He's nino but he also hits people

Last year:

Nino - 1 hit per 9.3 minutes
Marchment - 1 hit per 6.7 minutes

 

[CandyCanes]

This guy paced for 71pts & 27 goals last season. May have been a fluke, but I think realistically we could be getting a 60pt guy here.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Even with a drop in production, he still does so many things well.

Kind of like Nino.

 

[Ole Gil]

Yup a great chance for a positive outcome. Just a matter of $$ more than the player.

Are they paying him like a 60pt guy, or a potential 60 pt guy?

 

[CandyCanes]

Jesus didn’t realize 45 of his 47 pts last season were scored all 5 on 5. That’s crazy.

How much did he get used on the PP? Is there even more untapped offense there?

Loving the idea of this signing even more.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Have a feeling it's gonna be a number that scares the hell out of us right now, but when he goes out next year and gets 30 goals and 70+ points we'll be hailing the borg as massive geniuses.

 

[tarheelhockey]

How much did he get used on the PP? Is there even more untapped offense there?

0:52 per game on the PP, for a total of 46:35. 7 shots, 1 goal, 1 assist. That's... not very good.

His lack of PP production is as eyebrow-raising as his strong ES production. That's a weird dynamic, because it usually goes the other way around.
