Seems like our brass is high on him. My guess is 950k

Edit: Even better AAV

 

[Pavels Dog]

This is his chance, if he doesn’t take it he’ll be passed by once the rest of our D pipeline starts pounding on the door.

Best of luck kid.

 

[FabricDetails]

We'll at least find out if he's worth keeping within the long-term plan. Hopefully.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I don't hold out high hopes for him but I'd love to be wrong.

 

[SirloinUB]

Im guessing somewhere around a 1.2 AAV?

 

[FabricDetails]

I don't hold out high hopes for him but I'd love to be wrong.

He's like the Christoffer Ehn of the defensemen, hehe. But who knows, maybe his advanced stats on the PK this year will be more than good.

 

[golffuul]

Two-way?

[SirloinUB]

looks like it is 850,000 AAV

 

[ALLIN333]

Super cheap AAV. Can’t argue with that.

Show us what you’ve got, Gus.

I’m all in. I may be the biggest Lindstrom proponent on this forum. His big minutes down the stretch last season, his earning a protection spot, his re-signing. NONE OF IT SURPRISES ME, YOU HOSERS

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

I will say this for Lindstrom and Rasmussen, as much as we hate the 2017 draft due to the missed potential (Necas/Suzuki/Vilardi at 9 and Robertson in the 2nd), we very well may get two regular NHLers out of it.

Best value relative to draft capital? Of course not, and the opportunity cost was huge, but that is still 2 more NHLers than I earnestly thought we'd get out of that draft 18 months ago.

Wow...one-way. Pretty good. Now's his time to prove what he has, cause Yzerman has shown he's not going to wait forever for kids to develop.

 

[RedWingzz]

I like it. I think he's a useful bottom pair guy. You never really notice him much out there, and I say this as a compliment.

Winter is coming and Ned is here to claim his iron goalpost throne.

Wait, maybe that's not the best character analogy.

Naturally, he’s now going to flame out and I’ll eat a little crow. But until then, ride or die, bitches.

Just normal RFA contract.

Only player who is really panning out after our 3rd pick at #71, is Drake Batherson. There's nobody else.

It was a super WEAK draft.

His style of game isn't flashy. And he's trying to carve out a career being a dependable defensive blueliner with some puck movement skills. These things take a bit of time. He didn't look completely lost towards the back end of last year, so maybe the hardest part of that learning curve is behind him. Maybe he can look like Adam Larsson in a few years. That would be a huge boon for this team.

He has so many good foundational skills for a defensive defenseman (good stick, good gap, high panic threshold, gets physical, good puck movement in tight - kinda Merrill-esque in that way). His most likely outcome if he makes it is probably just a solid, 3rd-pairing shutdown type, but I see the potential for a tad more than that, always have. His reads are underrated. With the defensive depth in the organization now, he's more likely to get squeezed out eventually, but I can see an upside of a 4/5 guy on a good team.

 

[Hoog]

Gus is 22 and everyone has made up their mind already on him? I agree with Jaster somewhat in that he is Merrell-eque and much younger and cheaper. I think he will prove to be a solid D third line guy BUT might just show some more O than we expect down the road. All teams can use a solid D guy on the third line. He and Stecher make a decent third line, IMO Hope he has a coming out party this season.

Jaster in a couple years when we've got Seider and Werenski as our top pairing and Lindstrom is testing UFA.
