Sujet: What will Dobsons next contract be
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>The same reason werenski had leverage is why Dobson does as well. There’s no reason for him to take less than his comparables when no one on the isles has taken a discount relative to market value recently.

Dahlin was a slight overpay, but the market is the market. Young #1 defenseman are rare and get paid.


Seider hasn’t signed 8x8. Also Horvat has been very good this season but it doesn’t work that way where Dobsons ceiling for cap hit is a top 6 center who signed as a UFA at 28 years old.

I would love for Dobson to sign 8x8 but there’s not one contract I can think of that points to Dobson getting less than 8.5 mill. Point per game defenseman don’t grow on trees</div></div>

I thought Seider signed $8x8 already? Maybe I’m mistaken there. I have no doubt he’s getting a max term extension. I thought Pulock at the time was fairly team friendly

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>At the time of signing contracts , there’s not a player I can think of who signed below market value besides Pelech. Lou has given every RFA + UFA market value or above market value contracts.

Here are the #1 defenseman off the top of my head who have signed contracts coming off of a bridge contract

Dahlin: 11 x 8
Mcavoy: 9.5 x 8
Werenski: 9.5 x 6
Sergachev: 8.5 x 8</div></div>

Werenski had total leverage on CBJ as they had stars leaving the team left and right. He had to be overpaid to stay. I think Dahlin is a great player but to me that was also an overpay. I realize he didn’t bridge first but Seider signing $8x8 still feels like a decent comparable. Hoping for less, but I still don’t think Dobson will get more than Horvat’s $8.5

Sujet: How far off
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nightowl26</b></div><div>Sorry, not doing that....Not giving up 2 1st rounders. We should stick to the roster we have and play it out. We aren't winning the cup, why kill more of our future and system which is the worst in the NHL...
Not a smart move.

As you can see from some of these deals today. Prices are not as high as everyone thought</div></div>

You have Buchnevich next year at a bargain price and the ability to extend him. I make this move 10/10 times

Isles are in the position they are because Lane Lambert should be in prison. They are finally looking like the team they were under Trotz, except this team is deadly at putting the puck in the net. If the Isles make the playoffs this year (likely IMO) I would not be surprised at all if they went on a sneaky "Panthers" run.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>StDetroitBlueWings</b></div><div>Personally I don't mind it, not sure what other Blues fans say

However my biggest thing is a d-prospect missing. Anyone that projects as maybe a 2nd pairing defensive d-man to replace Dufour with? I've seen Bolduc a few times, which I don't mind but curious on who else the Isles may have as options. But with the retention I'm mostly okay with it as long as there's a d-man coming back with potential</div></div>

Isles are stronger in the LD department than RD. Bolduc is closest to NHL ready (has played games but still rookie growing pains). He’s also not waiver exempt. Probably our most exciting LD prospect is Isaiah George (London Knights) or Calle Odelius (SHL). RD there is not much there. If STL wanted a defensive prospect and Isles kept Dufour I would be fine with it
