Sujet: Bringing in the Vets to show em the way
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Thornton can't play centre anymore....or really left wing. Forget this veteran leadership nonsense. Even Chara seems to have the plus 40 wall.</div></div>

I think its more about the establishment of a winning culture more than anything and having these guys that have been around for so long and been successful, giving guidance to these young kids and showing them what it takes day in and day out. Big Z has shown that when he is in a limited role he can still be very effective. For Jumbo Joe same thing.. he brings the veteran presence and professionalism as well as the snarl. It doesnt have to be huge minutes per night for them or even playing on an every night basis, sheltered roles so that these two amazing former captains can bring the leadership these kids need and for the contracts that they have, its a low risk high reward situation.

Sujet: Signing the rfas to realistic contracts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BurgerBoss</b></div><div>He's pulling nothing crazy, but a pending UFA with decreasing numbers is extremely lackluster trade for EDM. They can, and probably will do better than that.

Also there's nothing that points on Namestnikov signing with EDM after the year. Based on how bad the team has been lately. it isn't exactly the most tempting place to play in.</div></div>

His numbers decreased because his role changed to a more well rounded 2 way player. That's why I was saying that hes like a swiss army knife type player who can play on any line. When he played with tampa on their skill line, he was on pace for 60 to 70 points and then came into a NYR organization that was rebuilding and didnt have talent up front. Put him with mcjesus and draisaitl and guarantee that he puts up 70 pts. Not to mention if he doesn't, he can play down in the lineup and play as a pen killer and forechecker. These are the types of players that can help a franchise like EDM and it's why they have been so terrible... they don't have players like that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mytduxfan</b></div><div>Who cares what some random site predicts? Heinen, another 24 year old winger, just signed for 2.8M over 2 years and he didn’t net 20 goals this past season. Buch gets between 3-4M or he should fire his agent.

I agree Trouba probably won’t get 8M. 7-7.5M sounds about right.

Puji hasn’t panned out, but I doubt EDM moves him for an overpaid 3rd liner, especially if they’re doing you a favour and giving you cap space. I don’t see it your way. I mean, would you trade 20 year old, former top 5 pick who has struggled for an overpaid 3rd line winger? I wouldn’t. In fact, if they were top 5, I’d wait until I was sure they were busts before moving them.</div></div>

Listen in a year or two, if lias andersson,7th OA pick, still has not become a solidified nhler, I would gladly trade him away for a guy like namestnikov at 3.5M a yr and see if he can mesh with the high end talent on the team.
