kliq 3,763 Report post Posted July 2, 2015 I would think Nyquist gets $2.95, he should get a little more then Tatar. I highly highly doubt it. Tatar got what he got with only 1 full season under his belt. Nyquist has performed well 2 straight years, and I believe is older then Tatar. (ie. closer to UFA).

kliq 3,763 Report post Posted July 2, 2015 Surprised that Franson and Ward are still floating around out there. I'm not surprised about Franson. If my memory serves me right, the guy has never been an easy negotiation. Constantly holding out until last minute, and always signing 1 year deals while he was an RFA.

rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted July 2, 2015 Must want to much or else we could've signed Franson as a cheaper option to Green. Cheaper than 18M? I bet Franson gets at least 20M. He may end up having a slightly lower AAV, but he'll probably get more term. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Cheaper than 18M? I bet Franson gets at least 20M. He may end up having a slightly lower AAV, but he'll probably get more term. Sekera got 5.5 million for 6 years. Green got 6 million for 3. My guess is Franson still gets more than Green for a three year term -- 6.2?? Slightly more than Sekera for more term. Maybe 5.7, 5.8. Bigger and more durable, supposedly more balanced between offense/defense, physical. Is probably listening to multiple offers...

e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted July 6, 2015 Burns has been playing mostly d for years no? I'd fully expect him to be a dman again Pretty sure, just like Buff in WIN, there has been some experimentation with Burns as a forward. Not for like, a whole season or anything... I was just pointing out that he's sometimes used as a forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,703 Report post Posted July 7, 2015 Happy to see former Red Wings Patrick Eaves and Carlo Colaiacovo sign contracts this off season. Patrick Eaves scored 14 goals in 47 games last year with Dallas. That'll usually go a long way toward getting you a new contract. 1 amato reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
