Sign that man at $7-8mil/8 years. I think he’s our second best Dman after JoMo.

Will get a hefty raise, thank god he doesn't play on the PP and score a ton of points

not sure if i see him in the 6M+ range.... i think 5M is a good number for 5+ years with the new cap projections. points get you paid as a Dman, and while i think he may have a 35-40 pt season (with minimal pp time), not sure how many Dmen have signed in the 6M+ range (or rough equivalents) coming off minimal pt production.

There were rumblings of Stanley wanting g a change of scenery at some point IIRC
Really stepping out on a limb there
But yeah agreed. He's our 2nd best overall defenseman, and best defensively IMO.

This should be @Whileee's victory lap thread. Was always super high on Samberg even back when he was seen as a pure defensive dman in college.
Samberg is transformative for the Jets.
He has made one of the weaker Defenses in the league the strongest. just by being healthy and ready to go.
All situations, all phases.
He is a legit top 4 Dman on any CONTENDER in the league right now. the kind of guy you build around all by himself.
Shift after shift. he just dominates, Slows the game down and he just doesn't make the mistakes sooo many Jets D-men have made over the years.
I'm going to say a name in comparison...and people will scoff..... but IMHO..Samberg is a young Scott Niedermayer.. a true tower of strength on the blue line.
LONG TERM CONTRACT PLEASE!!!

Get him on the books for 8 years. Sometime in there Morrissey will probably decline. We need this guy we need him bad.
I see him more as left handed Brett Pesce. Who is a great player imo.
Don’t think he brings that much offence.
I wanted to sign him to a 8 year 4.2-4.4 mill contract 2 years ago … instead of. Bridging him ….
How smart would that have been….

Would have been an awesome deal, but if I'm Dylan and a developing player there's no way i'm signing an 8 year deal based on a season cycling in and out the press box/third pairing scoring 8 points.
Humble brag time (can those coexist?)
If you look back to the draft thread he was the guy I was hoping we would draft in the second round. Really liked the raw potential and tools he had back when I watched prospects allot more. I am a complete sucker for the Jacob Slavin prototype. The type that has mildly modest point totals (30 to 40 points) due to the lack of PP1 time which leads to teams end getting good value for what they actually bring to the table. Also of note his wife is Dr Samberg (She’s a dentist). Saw her in an interview and she was laughing that patients will see the name and ask her “are you any relation to Dylan”
Nice to see Sammy producing at a 30 point pace over a full season without PP minutes.
