Well, that pretty much answers what we're going to do about the blueline.

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

Wooooow. They're going all in. Didnt expect this. Love the player but I pray the price isnt the #34 pick

Cant imagine how they'd find space for Hayes after this one. So many ELCs expiring next summer.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

They have decided to get off the pot.

 

[OldGoaltender]

Wow

Most likely. Id put Hayes at 99% not happening. Depends on what is moved. I think the cap is finally supposed to go up next year. Was supposed to up this year, but then the regional networks died.

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

It's a big contract but he'll be good for 5 or 6 years of it. Seen worse ones

 

[DarkandStormy]

Bye bye Peeke & Blankenburg

This is Jarmo's first ever 8 year contract and he's spending it on Damon ****ing Severson??

I want off this ride.

Edit - I guess it's a sign and trade, so technically NJ signed it

Incidentally, the statheads who were pooh-poohing Provorov seem to rather like Severson:

 

[MissADD]

8 years I don't like. 6.25 million per I do.

Not a huge loss in my books

RIP to Porty's "they're in on Ryan Graves" takes.

Right team, wrong player.

 

[MissADD]

I like it. Kept 34OVA and their own 3rd. Can't do much better than that.

 

[stevo61]

Jarmo didnt want to risk coming up empty handed in FA and I dont blame him. 3rd seems a bit high to trade for his rights but I guess a sign and trade is worth it. The player is obviously worth more than a 3rd.
I wonder what this means for Boqvist.

 

[DarkandStormy]

Severson turns 29 in two months.

Horrendous term.

Another desperation move by Jarmo, likely to try to salvage his job. Never a good way to operate.

This team is apparently deluded into thinking they are close to competing in the next 1-2 seasons.

Not a huge loss in my books

Forgot to add Boqvist

Werenski - Severson
Provorov - Jiricek
???? - Gudbranson

Defensemen perform longer than forwards and the cap is going to jump up, fairly minimal risk here. I think its more about competing for the playoffs and insulating the kids while making them fight for jobs. Dont see the doom and gloom you do

 

[JacketFanInFL]

What an absolute haul for nothing, basically.

Goes to show you how bad the defense really was last year. And how overpaid Gudbranson is.

I dont think Boqvist is going anywhere. I suspect we'll see him in top 4 and Jiricek in 3rd pair to start the year

 

[5th Line Fanatic]

Jarmo is in a hurry.

Would Graves have been the better get?
