What is their cap situation? If they can fit him in for one year and then just make a run for it I wouldn't be surprised.
At 69M right now according to capgeek. Could be wrong obviously.

We'll have to agree to disagree. I do think Nill will do something tonight though. I just hope it's not Spezza or Vinny.
What about the Sedins? They're 34 in September, declining, and signed for another 4 years. Are they expecting to hold onto them just because? What is the play here?

Ribeiro probably rides the white lightning. Get better soon man.
I predict something from out of nowhere like the Seguin trade.
Ryan O'Rielly for Chiasson + Jokipakka and exchange of first rounders!

Hearing Dallas is interested in Joe Thornton. Obviously a moot point if he wants to stay in San Jose
No shock to our board
Thornton for Goligoski+Dillion+Chiasson+1st?

LMAO
I would've done the same and tossed my laptop out the nearest window.
BigG, where is our cap standing at right now (with whatever you think Eakin, Dillon, Rousell will get)?
Salary is more important to the Stars than Cap Hit since they won't be a cap team. Just so it's in an easy to find place, here is where they are with the cost of potential buyouts and retained moves.
I'm going to assume the Stars will budget Nichushkin earning his A bonuses. He earned a 1/4 of them this year, and small improvement in his totals would push him to earning the full $850K bonus.
$5.25 - Benn|$5.5 - Seguin|$1.775 - Nichushkin
$4 - Cole|$3.375 - Peverley|$0.9 - Chiasson
RFA - Roussel|RFA - Eakin|$1.6 - Garbutt
XXXX|$3 - Horcoff|$0.6 - Sceviour
Forwards |$26 million
$4.8 - Goligoski|$3.5 - Daley
$0.65 - Benn|RFA - Dillon
$5 - Gonchar|$0.81 - Nemeth
$0.65 - Connauton|$1.6 - Rome
Defense |$17.01 million
Goalie |$6.25 - Lehtonen
Total |$49.26 million
Cost/Savings of Buyouts
Player | Cost | Savings
Gonchar|$1.667|$3.333
Cole|$1.333|$2.667
Rome|$0.533|$1.067
Peverley on LTIR, likely career over, would result in insurance paying his $3.375 million salary and that coming off the budget.
Using 1 regular and 2 compliance buyouts, Dallas' salary would be at $42.193 million.
Without Peverley and using 3 buyouts, Dallas' salary would be at $38.818 million.
My best guess on RFA's today is:
Dillion: 2 years for $5 million ($2.5 Cap Hit); Y1: $2.25; Y2: $2.75
Eakin: 2 years for $4.5 million ($2.25 Cap Hit); Y1: $2; Y2: $2.5
Roussel: 2 years for $2.5 million ($1.25 Cap Hit); Y1: $1.1; Y2: $1.4
Jeffrey: 1 year for $687,500 (Minimum Required QO)
Glennie: 1 year, two-way, for $600,000 ($95K AHL)

Who is that guy?

That's straight up ridiculai. I could probably be convinced to do one of those pieces and a 1st. No more than that.Checked the Shark forum. This is what I saw:

Everyone is talking Spezza, Thornton, and the others who have been in play a bit more in the national media but one name you don't hear often that I think I read first from Heika's coverage early in the off-season was Eric Staal. Might that name have come from someone close to the Stars?
