2024-25 General Dallas Stars Talk

Cam Robinson is one of these guys who suddenly talks like he has a million sources but I think it's 75% made up and 25% stolen from someone else

Sean retweeted it which is how I saw it

Wait, didn't we see this mentioned here? Was it @Dallasman?

we did see it, 8x8.152 IIRC, wasn't Dallasman, he did mention earlier in the year (around Oettinger extension) that He (Johnston) was next and it would be like Hintz.


I'm guessing if the team offered 8x8.1 they may not be crazy far apart.

Seems unlikely he'd be asking 8x10 and the team would counter with 8x8.1 and it would leak out of a normally pretty tight ship

Oh it was Dallasman who said Johnston turned the low 8s offer it down

From Jeff Marek:

To no surprise, I’m told the Dallas Stars and Wyatt Johnston are working away at what his next deal will look like. Ideally, Stars GM Jim Nill would prefer to have Johnston’s number nailed down before making Trade Deadline moves, but this isn’t a perfect world. It sounds like the Stars forward is in the $8-8.5 million AAV range on an eight-year deal.

Hope we do see this deal done this week

Fingers crossed.
That would be a tidy bit of work by Janko, Nill and Co

 

[MBTendy]

Id be shocked if Wyatt demands 9+ mill, even though he definitely deserves it. Pavelski being his father, I’d imagine Wyatt will definitely take a team friendly deal to give the team a better shot at winning it all.

Anything under 9mill for 8 years is a huge win in my eyes.

 

[Johno]

That would solidify the plans massively

I can see something between 8.5 and 9M coming in soon

He's only gonna get more expensive the longer we wait

Nill: Ok, we've agree'd do your ask of 8.75M/yr
Wyatt's agent: Yea, about that... after last night, we're up to 9M/yr.
