Fair contract
5.8??? I'll be dallas' diver for 2 million a year, and I could do a less blatant job of it
Insert diving joke here
Greg Louganis signed a new contract?
how do you see the stars increasing their scoring depth?
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
Trouba hoping for $7 million now, at least. Can't wait for a Trouba trade.
Love it
Great now he can afford his scuba gear
Heโs really really good
It breaks my heart to see Monsanto advertised on their rink boards ๐ ๐
video about Kakko
Esa bad deal.
Underlying numbers are not good, this could turn out to be worse than the zaitsev contract.
Stars are signing cause they are cheaters because they want him to dive
The bottom 3 on d is shitt tho, they need better depth on d and offense if tjey want to make playoffs consistently
Lindell's play has been impressive, and he's earned the contract. Good deal for both sides.
Kinda like the Morgan Rielly deal. Seemed high when he sign but great contract for the leafs.
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.
You see this guy flop in the playoffs? Hes super weak for a defenceman
I guess you can say he…dove right in to sign this
Can we then say Lindell dived right into this contract? ๐
Considering expected player progress and the cap increasing basically every year, this is an incredible signing.
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.
Diver
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.
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.
Wasnโt he brutally murdered my Bortuzzo? Good to see he is not only still alive but able to sign a contract too
Did they include some free diving lessons at the pool ?
Because he needs the help.
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).
Lindell loves swimming. Why? Because he can DIVE in to the pool.
Iโll show myself out.
I hope Steven Johns can come back next year as well.
THG is slowly starting to make me a small Dallas fan..
I'll bite.
Funny seeing the difference between fanbases. Stars fans like this but Oilers fans are losing their minds at the idea of Nurse making 6mill.
Might seem like a bit pricey contract, but he is a very dependable D most likely the whole contract period.
Diving for 6 more years
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
This Stars fan in Texas likes it.
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) ๐ (but Aho, Laine; Rantanen are gonna get their contracts soon too)
