1 year for $1M. That's a very good signing for NJ. Added a solid 4th line defensive specialist for cheap. I thought Nosek would get more than $1M, but I guess with most every team up against it when it comes to the cap there are some good deals to be had.

Nosek brings something NJ needs. Looking at their roster for next season, holy cow, they could legit be serious contenders for the Cup.

Basically Nosek for Boqvist. The Devils are goood and Nosek will play an important role for them.

Here where Tkachuk obviously crosses the line with his chirping and no Bruin sets him straight. I didn't like that. I don't care if you don't like Nosek or his wife, he's your teammate a Boston Bruin and U don't let players on the other team disrespect anyone wearing a Bruin Jersey and even more so their families in such a nature. Tkachuk a great player no doubt but the Bruins let him run rough shot all over them Physically and verbally and didn't hold him accountable, I don't see that happening with Looch back in town.

If Looch is on the team during this series, I can pretty much guarantee this shit is stopped.

Which is why I am thrilled he's back.

He had a great season.

Should have gotten more recognition in Norris voting.

Adam Fox was 2nd in voting (1125 votes) with 12-60-72 +28

Dunn 11th in voting (31 votes) with 14-50-64 +28
I’m a Dunn guy - when he was out early in 2019 finals I thought significant

Definitely a nice player - underrated

Gotta check why wasn’t protected

Dunn was spectacular last season. A big part of the Kraken's success. His major stats only tell part of the story. Dude was a difference maker. At times in the Ozone you would almost think he was a forward. Very versatile player.

He has always been a very solid d-man, but last season he logged more minutes than ever before and hit his stride in all aspects of his game. Seeing the numbers for Dunn in the pre-arbitration agreement first thing that popped into my mind was what a great move it was for DS to lock up Lindholm for $6.5M AAV through 2029-2030. Prices are definitely rising, and will really seem high next summer. Having guys like McAvoy and Lindholm signed for many years to come at the salaries they are making is a pretty big deal.

He was on the ice for 103 of the Kranken’s even strength goals. Half their goals. Only 68 against. Ridiculous.

Ridiculous indeed. The Kraken were mid-pack in goals allowed. Pretty big drop-off on D after Dunn and Larsson. I guess that's the reason they both got heavy mins compared to everyone else on the team. Both averaged over 23 mins. Seriously, there were games in which it seemed like there were multiple Dunns on the ice at the same time. Hakstol had him playing all over the place in the Ozone. He transitions back on D incredibly well. One of the major reasons the Kraken's transition game was so good.
