  1. Gotta wonder if he could've gotten more if he held out and made dallas compete with other offers. Lindell had a stupid +/- of like +57 or something. Good for Dallas, maybe not the best move fiscally for Lindell

  2. Trouba hoping for $7 million now, at least. Can't wait for a Trouba trade.

  3. It breaks my heart to see Monsanto advertised on their rink boards 🏒 💀

  4. Esa bad deal.
    Underlying numbers are not good, this could turn out to be worse than the zaitsev contract.

  5. The bottom 3 on d is shitt tho, they need better depth on d and offense if tjey want to make playoffs consistently

  6. I'll be interested to see how negotiation goes with Zadorov now. He may have higher ceiling but more risk. If Colorado doesn't cough up what he wants, given that he'd start next year on the 3rd pair, someone else may be willing. Strange that the Aves are deep at D now.

  7. Considering expected player progress and the cap increasing basically every year, this is an incredible signing.

  8. Excellent deal. Even the structure is very team-friendly – only $4M in signing bonuses. It's not quite Klingberg-level thievery, but it's still a steal.

    Zuccarello, you're up.

  9. They might want to be careful about under paying him. He might act out that scene from fight club when ed norton quits his job. Lol
    Back to reality i think he'll be an even better player next year.

  10. It's a little annoying that people can't get over the diving (uncharacteristic of him btw) but, on the bright side, I think it allows him to continue to fly under the radar and be underestimated. He's our ninja assassin, and we know he's not a diver, and we know that he's worth it.

  11. Wasn’t he brutally murdered my Bortuzzo? Good to see he is not only still alive but able to sign a contract too

  12. His advanced numbers are terrible. This is easily top candidate for a contract that could be an albatross (emphasis on could before someone claims I said it is an albatross for certain).

  13. Funny seeing the difference between fanbases. Stars fans like this but Oilers fans are losing their minds at the idea of Nurse making 6mill.

  14. Might seem like a bit pricey contract, but he is a very dependable D most likely the whole contract period.

  15. Esa Lindell was my Brothers old friend before he went to a different high school. my brother went to a basic one Lindell went to sports-focused highschool

  16. maybe the most underrated player here in finland, doesn't shine in the news like Laine but has 5th biggest cap hit tho (right now) 😀 (but Aho, Laine; Rantanen are gonna get their contracts soon too)
