How much longer is Semin on the books?

I don't know, I stopped reading those types of books after the internet was invented.

2 years after this one. Kruger retention comes off after this year too.

I am not disappoint.

Thanks.

Again, feel free to troll me if this winds up as egg on my face. I've got enough to make an omlet as it is.

I think Ferland will re-sign here.

so that's why those pages were stuck together

 

[Roboturner913]

8 + 4 + 2 = 14

LOL, I can't add

I'm not sure where your "at least 5 more players" comes in.

We have 14 under contract right now and it seems given we will sign Aho/Williams/McGinn at dollar figures we can project somewhat safely. That makes 17. Assuming we are going to carry 22 roster players.

 

[Roboturner913]

Isn't that already baked in? He doesn't "add" anything if he is already taking up the $4M...he just doesn't free up any space.

He's UFA after this season. Current salary is $4.5 million and he's had 50 points each of the last two seasons, and that's before you start talking about his leadership or this current run. $4 million is a conservative estimate. Sure, he probably doesn't want to leave, but I'd rather not be the team that leverages that on its captain when he's probably only going to play for 2 more years anyway.

Not sure if I'm interested in trading Faulk anymore, unless Faulk gives management reason to believe he wants to go somewhere else.

Yeah I wasn't thinking about the press box. Ideally near minimum salary guys as extras.

It's already been reported he wants to head to the Wild. @Boom Boom Apathy

I’ll take Zucker.

Sounds like a win win. Either they sign Ferland or you get an omelet

It's not necessarily even about wanting to. It's about putting together a roster that makes sense within whatever amount we're willing to spend and having an idea of what his next contact will be.

If we go crazy with the playoff revenue and increased ticket sales and want to keep Faulk (including a new, likely heftier, contract), cool. If not he's a real candidate to move. The fact that he's possibly increased his value even heading into his final year is a nice bonus if we need to. I'd still probably look to move on all things considered.

 

[Roboturner913]

My favorite ever Semin one-liner was at some point he had scored like 6 points in 3 games following a week of nothing and somebody remarked how much they preferred hot Semin to cold Semin

I can't count very many teams that go deeper than Nino, Svech, Foegele on the left side. Hell, Ferland is on the fourth line behind those three tonight (for obvious reasons, I know).

Based on current level of play, he's on the 4th line because, at best, that's where he belongs.

I think Ferland will re-sign here.

As somebody who had also penciled him in here (assuming his contract demands ended up more reasonable), after last night's effort, he's added a bit of poison to that well.

Aho at 7, Williams at 2.5, McGinn at 2.

Take it or leave it.

Aho takes the offer sheet, if that's the case. Williams is almost certainly going to sign for $4 million minimum and more likely at his current cap hit. McGinn at $2 million is probably close.
