Player Discussion Rasmus Dahlin Part 4 - D (1st Overall, 2018, Frölunda HC, SHL)

[Fjordy]

I'm fine with 10 x 8, he deserve it.

 

[TageGod]

Maybe he will do 7.2, keeping in line with Tage and Cozens.

 

[Ace]

Maybe he will do 7.2, keeping in line with Tage and Cozens.

The only way that would happen is if it was 7.2 for one year so he can cash in in UFA

the player cards the athletic puts out values Dahlin‘s last season as he enters his prime at 12.7 million. Around 10 isn’t just good value for what he is…it’s amazing for what he will be

That was a joke, but yes.

There is an entire thread on the Pegulas.

I'm petty and want to see Dahlin's AAV at exactly $10,000,001.

My petty thought of the day a few weeks ago was that if the number was going to be $10M AAV that they should make it $10,000,026 AAV to make Dahlin the highest paid player in team history.

Should we make is $10,000,009 as a slight to Jack?

I thought this contract was happening this week the way the talk amped up around the NHL.

Sadly, league rules so it's going to have to wait to be filed until July 1st.

He didn't perform as well in ELC as Miro H. did. Thus he had to go bridge. Made sense for both sides. If you compare him to Miro, if the $10 mill aav is correct, it nets out the same in real money.

Miro at $67.6 mill for 8 years at $8.45 AAV. Dahlin $18 mill over 3 for $6mill AAV. Just under a $50 mill difference, thus at $10 mill per it basically is the same total money over 8 years.

Just the difference of having the confidence to do 8 years for both sides and being able to afford the higher cap in the first 3 years and enjoy the savings over the final 5.

Dallas took on $2.45 mill more per for $7.35 mill and will be $1.55 mill less over the next 5.

TB bridged Point and Serg cause they needed the cap space to compete with their core guys. Paid them later. But, if you are not ready to contend, it's best to do the term and enjoy the savings later when you can contend. But, that only works when the player performs well in ELC. Dahlin was up and dow and thus needed more time to show the consistency.

TL;DR for those without a subscription?

I was today years old when I finally Googled what TL;DR means. I hope this ain’t the beginning of being old and having to translate internet acronyms and young-people language.

8x10 sounds great. I was hoping he’d go for under 10 but I also look at it from Dahlin’s side … the difference between 9.9 and 10 is huge psychologically for him. Either way, I suspect we are getting a great deal.

If you have to avoid needing to look up popular slang, then it's already too late.

Welcome to geezerhood!

Post of the day for timely and appropriate insertion of the seldom used "old man" emoji.

Nice work!

And to keep this on the subject of Dahlin - he's the best allround defensemen I've seen since I started watching the Sabres in their inaugural season. Glad they've reached an agreement.

Can’t really argue with that.

Returning to topic, Dahlin’s pretty good aye? I like the way he does the ice hockey. I also like that he is like Scabies for the not Sabres.

 

[Willgamesh]

Dahlin forever.

I love how one of the guys who guests on The PDOCast talked about how they were directed by the Stars to play up a rivalry between the two, to manufacture sides.

They must push it in Dallas because Stara fans seem way more interested in a rivalry.

Yeah, the guy used to be on staff with Dallas.
