Interesting.  I guess it’s likely to be a later 1st, but still seems like a lot.  They must really like him. Maybe see him as a strong PP option moving forward.  Replacement for Klingberg.

Does seem like a lot.  I kind of expected it to say for a 2nd or 3rd.  Eyebrows raised when I saw 1st.

Why do you say that? Lundkvist is pretty good. He was drafted in the 1st round for a reason. The conditional 4th is whatever. So basically you're trading a protected 1st for a 1st round grade guy you believe can play for you immediately.

AAV 12.6 Million 

WOW!!

I suppose he is worth it for what he brings, but this is just crazy $ to play a game, as are all pro sport contracts.

Seems like just yesterday the Winnipeg Jets signed Bobby Hull to the first ever $1M contract.  That's $1M total.  I can't remember the length of the contract.  I think it was Hull and the Jets.

Still surprised Suban didn't catch on anywhere. Or maybe it just wasn't worth a minimal offer to get beat up for a year to him.

Probably had a certain salary he was shooting for, and if he didn’t get it he wants to start his 2nd career in media.

Makes him the highest paid player in the league.

If Stankoven, Johnson, and Bourque all hit I think Dallas can still improve but I would be extremely protective of any 2023 1st round pick. 

I'd agree with this. I'd have given them a 2024 instead. 2023 draft is very very deep and good. 

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
