Fair enough, it just depends on how much you want one of those top 3 guys. To me it's worth it, but we won't really know that answer for years anyways

But what about him says sound defense? I think people just say that about him because he doesn't do anything on offense, and he's physical, so by default he must be a sound defensive-defenseman

We over-hyped those guys, nobody else did. And yeah injuries happen, but that doesn't mean you want a guy with an injury history. How is he not sub-par? He hits ~.24 ppg in his career and his possession numbers are less than great

Is he though?

Phaneuf was bought out

We need more sub-par defensemen that miss 1/3 of the season every year?

I think everyone on here would do that in a heartbeat

Apparently Mitts and Dahlin room together

Link?

If only

Why is the FA thread locked? Edit: Unlocked now

Can't wait to pay Dahlin $15M per year...

Haha yup, and they've replaced that old core of Marleau-Thornton-Pavelski with Couture - Meier - Hertl So whoever is scouting/drafting/developing for the Sharks, good on them

Yup that's what I remember as well, that's why I was so surprised when I checked out his stats They know their window to win a Cup isn't going to get any better than it is now

I doubt he's the one they let go. They do have a ton of guys that could come loose though

Maatta is just a guy that never seemed to piece it all together for some reason or another. Looked up his stats and was surprised about how poor they are

That is wild to me. Is he worth it? Probably. I'm surprised he wanted to stay out there though What does this do for Ottawa's return then?

The jerseys are objectively better. This has nothing to do with a Buffalo mentality, they're just good looking sweaters

Sucks for GS considering they're going to offer him and Klay 5 year max deals Also, Boogie Cousins was a massive disappointment. Dude should've taken the max deal he would've gotten last year, cause he's not getting it now

You're supposed to at least say 'No offense' before something like this ?

This guy wins the night

Been saying it for years when everyone was down on him. Give me that Ghost

Indeed. I loved that they did that in the Cup Finals
