I'm just baffled this guy would do this deal before the important ones. This is ok but he just doesn't get it this Jimbo.
It makes prefect sense you need to know exactly how much cap space you have left.

Yes sign the filler guys first and then say this is what's left EP and Hughes take it or leave it genius.
pretty stupid take. the other 2 big ones are obviously being worked on... he can do multiple deals at a time. he isnt going to not sign dickinson because the other 2 are having more difficulties getting signed...
im not even a benning fan but man you guys spin everything into something against him
Dim Jim did ok on this one. He seems to be learning from his many mistakes. Not too crazy on price, term and no no trade clause
You would be bitching and complaining if we didnt have enough space to sign Dickenson after trading for him but, I guess thats just the type of person you are
Seeing as its pretty clear Petey and Hughes wanna be smart and hedge their bets by signing short term. I wish it wasn't the case, but it does make sense why we are signing players in this fashion.

Seems to be a fair deal
I would tell Petey and Hughes that we have 16.6 in cap space, you guys figure out how you want to divide it on 3 years deals I’m taking the rest of the summer off

Not terrible, but not good either. Probably 500 thousandish overpaid. I don't know if I would do 3 years, as I worry that Dickinson's defensive stats were a product of playing for a good defensive team.

It’s a trend of Benning to hand out reasonable RFA contracts since Horvat. Nice deal

Don't mind the deal considering the money Jimbo's splashed out for worse players. Maybe a touch on the high side, but not bad. Is there no trade protection, or have the complete terms not been reported yet?
Competent managers work out budgeting in advance. Not that you'd know that, obviously.

I posted a long list of comparables in his thread. Players like him are getting 1-1.5M for RFA years and 2-2.5M for UFA years. This is a gross overpayment. Ryan Hartman is basically a dead-on comp who was signed at 3x1.7M four months ago.
Roughly $12.15M left plus the Ferland $3.5M LTIR
$9M for EP on an 8 year deal.
$5.5M for Hughes on a 3 year bridge.
Edit: That said, a bridge for EP would likely be better because they need to sign Motte, Rathbone, and Boeser next year. Combined that will be an increase of roughly $3-4M and only $600K comes off from the Luongo recapture after adding the Holtby and Virtanen buyout increases.

Yes sign Dickinson and then have an even tougher time signing the big two. Wouldn't it make sense to sign EP first then Hughes then Dickinson you can play hardball with considering he's least valuable?
Actually, if we didn't have enough to sign Dickinson after getting the big two signed I'd be fine long as the two were signed. However, then someone would add why was Pearson signed before? You see Jimbo just doesn't plan that's the problem with this guy.

I generally agree and would have preferred they re-signed Pettersson before Free Agency even opened, but there was some urgency in this case as his arbitration date was next week and surely they didn't want to do that (although a 1 year arbitration award would have probably been better than this contract.)

I was guessing around $2.85, so pleasantly surprised he came in at $2.65. Also glad it came with a three year term. Solid deal, IMO.
Well, it's not Sutter bad.
Still seems like a bit of an overpayment for an RFA, but only if Dickinson proves to be a legit 3C. If Green plays him primarily as a bottom 6 winger, then this a gross overpayment.
Adds to the squeeze factor for next offseason's cap space.

I didn't realize this but again if we could have saved a bit this year in arbitration on 1-year deal would have been better.
There's also an extra 2.2m as 3 players shown on Capfriendly will be on Abby's roster and off the cap hit.
