I like the deal. Building value contracts.

Can they give me that money too.... Don't need to sign me, just give me the cash.

Not too bad, if he can bounce back it'll be great, but the hit's not to bad if he doesn't.

You take away the Janmark contract & they're completely cap compliant. So...

Makes sense for Patrick. Eases the pressure joining a new team to put up numbers in a contract year.

That was my guess earlier on who is going once Tuch gets back. It fits too perfectly.

Sounds like a pretty fair deal, especially as if he has a breakout season (not likely but possible) we get him next year very cheap.

 

[Vegan Knight]

We needed the two year deal with the number of RFAs we already have next season.

Hague, Whitecloud, Roy, Kolesar, Dugan, Elvenes, Howden, Thompson. Not all will be back but it's quite a few.

Plus Dadonov and his 5 million are still there next season.

About half the guys on NHL deals are expiring next summer. (20/48)

Perhaps a bit more than normal, but we are at a relatively flat cap.

How he has looked in preseason?

How he has looked in preseason?

In both pre-season and the two regular season games he has looked good alongside Dadonov. Not fantastic, but middle-6 forward.
