who mentioned extending him?
the contracts we have now with nikishin coming doesnt add up to extending orlov either
Orlov won’t be extended the left side is full after this season
Unsustainable
Seth Jarvis has Big Kahunas
Does Nikishin jump straight into the line up next season or gets a year in Chicago with Morrow graduating to replace Burns?

I gotta think the current makeup is not what we'll be having for the starting forward group.
Necas is reportedly asking fresh start elsewhere, can't see that doesn't get dealed with soon.

I would be surprised if we got him over here and he was okay with going to the AHL

I don't think the Canes will have a 2C this season.. just play 3 defensemen on the 2nd line and see what happens. Scoring goals is overrated anyway.

You don't need centers in 2-3-1.
Yeah a good KHLer doesn't come over to bus around in AHL, for the salary reasons alone.

that would be really dumb of jarvis to accept, if it isnt Svech's aav why even sign a long term deal?
seems like he is making it up

Dundon is using hookers and kompromat to get these contracts.
Coming straight to the NHL is probably a condition of his leaving Russia.

Probably because Svech was a more proven player with a higher upside when he signed his contract.

was he?
Andrei's first 3 seasons .287 goals per game rate, a 1.07G /60 and a 2.54 Points per 60
Seth's first 3 seasons .277 goals per game, 1.01 G/60 and a 2.31 points/60
in the playoffs
Andrei had a .76 ppg rate while Jarvis had a .675
that includes Jarvis having to play double the 5v5 minutes with staal in the playoffs that Svech did (142.5 to 74.5) in fairness Andrei did play 829 minutes of 5v5 in his first 3 regular seasons with Staal and Jarvis only 482.
when looking at the cap rising when the contracts are signed and the not so large statistical difference with Jarvis' much better defense, I dont see why Jarvis would sign a lower deal than Svech.

I think the Slafkovsky extension is a good blueprint for Jarvis: 8x7.5 makes the most sense, IMO.

Lundell signs in Fla eating up the rest of their cap.
What does that mean for Tank?
GMs pay extra for that combo.
What does that mean for Tank?
Slaf and Svech are both big boys.
GMs pay extra for that combo.

Oh I was just f***in' with you. I'm agreeing on just about everything that you are saying. However, my pollyanna game says we'll get a scorer in a trade for Necas (unless we keep him and he plays for the next contract as he should).
Where we stand right now leaves us something like:
| LW | C | RW | |
| Line 1 | Svechnikov | Aho | |
| Line 2 | Kuznetsov | ||
| Line 3 | Martinook | Staal | Fast |
| LIne 4 | Robinson/Lemieux | Kotkaniemi | Carrier |
| LHD | RHD | ||
| 1st Pairing | Slavin | Burns | |
| 2nd Pairing | Orlav | Walker | |
| 3rd Pairing | Gostisbehere | Chatfield | |
| Goalie 1 | Kochetkov | ||
| Goalie 2 | Andersen |
Necas, Jarvis, and Drury are left to be signed (as is Coghlan).
We've got $14 million in cap left. I'm wondering if we don't see a trade at/after camp as other teams solidify their squads. I mean, I'm a Drury fan, but he could be part of a package with picks, prospects, Necas, or Kotkaniemi (although that takes a lot of center depth away).
Regardless, that team needs 3 respectable scorers.

we have 14.5 million with 12 forwards already signed. If we keep all 3 RFAs, 2 of the current contracts will be dropping. So we really have about 16-16.2 million in space.
when a Necas trade happens, I wouldnt be surprised if we add Roslovic and Vrana/Barabanov to the mix and see who sticks on the roster
Avoid the comments! I am surprised they didn't put a prayer candle on the puck.

This site ate my long post twice so I’ll just say, I wouldn’t give Jarvis more than Svech off of a season with s shooting % over 18%.
Should he do a bridge and bet on himself? Maybe. He also may have just had a career year on the goal scoring side.
The really could use a Nino/Rask 2.0. Rotate that cap from 4C to Top 9 wing.

Potentially. I think the young age of KK and several positive underlyings is what is holding that up. Young players, especially large centers, sometimes can have strange developmental curves. A rebound season would give them significant re-assurances. If he doesn't do that soon, though, I think they could do exactly that.

"Puck don't lie"
11 forwards
Aho, Svech, Kuzy, KK, Martinook, Staal, Fast, Carrier, Robinson, Jost, Lemieux.
We typically would carry 13 forwards, so 2 forward slots to fill....and likely a 7th defender too.
