Ok cool just get him away from Joki

 

[elchud]

Extend him ASAP, see if he will bite on 8 years 11 million.

They cannot talk next contract with him until 7/1/2023.

Well poop

6 x 10.5. It takes him above Makar for a few years and sets him up for something like 6 x 15 after that.

I think we could do a last 2 year buyout for Skinner the way I have the yearly caps lined up, with a deal like that. 12 million would be really tough cuz of Skinner.

I doubt it will take that much to extend him. But, we shall see.

Nick Holden?

Remember when people used to say Dahlin was going to be a bust because of Buffalo's lack of developmental patterns. Eat shit to those people!

Always believed and protected this guy.

Need Fitz back and out him with Dahlin

Needs Fitz to serve the misconducts, so we can keep Dahlin on the ice when he starts shit

He is not a first pair player, not even sure if he can be top 4 RD, but they could look at him with Dahlin for at least 2-3 games.

Shift by shift. All the goodies.

It was a great game from Dahlin. What great passes he makes in every game from different situations and positions, it's a crime that he only has 39 points, because our attack and PP are not so effective. He probably missed 20-30 points this season through no fault of his own.

Someone on one of the dude-bro shows was talking about how if Makar was in Buffalo and Dahlin was in Colorado, the hype would be all about the one playing in Colorado and the discontent would be about the one in Buffalo.

Definitely, although Makar is still a great player, it's easier to play and score points if you have MacKinnon, Rantanen, Kadri and other good players in the team, and your partner is Devon Toews, and not Henri Jokiharju or Will Butcher.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

How is Josi not at the top of every list? I don't watch west coast games these days unnless the Sabres are involved, but his stats for this season have been absolutely insane.

"- Dahlin woke up one day about a month ago and decided he was just going to be one of the best defensemen in hockey now."

 

[KapG]

Obviously a leafs fan, but dahlin has to be one of my favourite players to watch in the league these days. Just ooooooozes offensive skill and even seems to be coming into his own wrt the defensive side of this game. Yah I have some bias as I own him in the 32 person keeper league I’ve been in for over a decade but still, A stud is a stud!

Jeeeeeeeze can he ever control the game. What an absolute treat.

 

[Buffaloed]

But what about his poor skating? Isn't he too slow to be a franchise dman?

Scroll further back in this thread and some early season GDT's.

Duh. Just look at his career +/-.

It's not about his top speed. It's his first steps. If he can get quicker, without compromising the rest of his elite skating, then he will be fine. Reinhart was able to become quicker years after getting drafted. It's possible. I was commenting to the person I quoted that said his top speed is...
