Minnesota's setup was Zidlicky as the QB and Burns as the trigger.
Zidlicky was still there the year after Burns and their PP sucked rock candy.

Well, that team went through a pretty heavy transition that off-season. They moved Havlat and Burns, they lost Brunette, they lost Miettinen, and Koivu was injured for a significant time. They dropped from 18.2% to 15.1% which given what they had lost makes sense.
Plus Burns is a very good trigger and that still hurts.
Wingels - Agree.
Sheppard - 1 year.
Demers - 2 years.
Stalock (UFA) - 2 years.
I'm inclined to ding Demers for his horrid playoff performance, and bump up Sheppard for his strong play in the playoffs and late into the season.
I'd have a hard time paying Demers that much more than Braun or anywhere close to Vlasic. I'm sure DW is looking at signing Braun to an extension this offseason like Vlasic did a few seasons ago. I think Demers should sign a "show me contract" like Braun did.
How about assigning dollars to those signings?
My take:
Wingels: 2 years, 2-2.5
Demers: 2-3 years, 3-4
Shep: 1 year, 1.2-1.8
Demers 10 mil for 3 years. 3.33 per
Wingels 9 mil for 3 years, 3.0 per
Stalock 4 mil over 2 years, 2.0 per
Shepard 2.5 mil for 2 years 1.25 per
After July 1, extend Braun for five years, 4.0 per.
I'd have a hard time giving Braun 4 million per year. Honestly, Braun doesn't deserve any more than Demers does.

I'd generally agree with this. I thought Demers was going to be pushing 4 mil if he had a decent playoff run. Now I think he'll get somewhere between 3-3.5 I think.. though I still think 4 isn't out of the question though I'd say that's a bit high.
it was due to term.I think Braun deserves it more than Demers but it's still too early to be giving them 4m either way.

There's no way Demers is going to make less than Braun. If his agent is even half competent, he should be getting at least 3 mil. It's not Braun but market value that you should be looking at.

None of these guys are touching $4M, and I'd be surprised if Tommy got over $2.75.
I'm finding it kinda difficult to draw comparisons with Braun and Demers. Voynov would be the high bench mark, and neither of them are as valuable. Who's a closer comparison?
