A Great Offseason

I think Dobson gets more than that

Wouldn’t mind VVerbeek submitting a 5 x $4,100,000 offer sheet on him (I’m sure it gets matched)

I love the Reilly idea, I think he'd be a great add to this team. Kulak too would be a fantastic defensive add, althought I think he will command more AAV than what is currently proposed here. Also, why dump Bellows for a mid-round pick? I'd rather have him available as the 13F over Koivula at this moment. Vatrano is a good depth piece to have playing on Pageau's line, although I don't see Lou buying out Bailey despite his subar play.

that would certainly get matched, yeah. i’m thinking (hoping) he gets maybe something like what noah hanifin got, which was 4.95x6, or something like 6.5x8, they’re certainly going to get more value out of a long term deal rn than a bridge

Oh absolutely

I think the Lindholm deal for Dobson would be a big W for the Isles along with good money and term for Dobson

You’re probably right about Bailey, which would kinda torpedo the rest of this ACGM. It’s also possible that Bailey would have some value in a trade; hes still “producing,” is a gritty vet and his contract isn’t as awful as it could be. If Nick Leddy, could get traded for a 2nd+ twice, perhaps Bails could be too. Hopefully that’s something they look into.

As for Bellows, I like him a lot and think he’s a good player. But based on the moves we’ve already made, it’s hard to see him being a regular in the lineup next season. Maybe he could play over Vatrano, since I doubt we actually sign him, but I kinda think (and hope, for his sake) that they move on this offseason. He’s better than a 13th forward imo and idk if he’s getting that opportunity here
