DeKeyser re-signed to a 6 year deal

Who on that list would you rather? I'd personally rather DeKeyser over every single one of them. Of course you could make a case for maybe one or two, but none are much better, if at all...

I think 25-35 points is reasonable expectations for DeKeyser next season, and that's assuming we don't get an upgrade like Trouba or Barrie. If we were able to get a defenseman like one of those two, I wouldn't say 35-45 would be out of the question in the coming years... That would be very solid production for a $5M per year 2 / 3 defenseman... It's up to Kenny to land that top pair guy to pair with him...

As I pointed out above, he is right there with all of those other 2 / 3 / 4 defensemen, in terms of salary, so no, it wasn't over payment as far as I'm concerned. If he were to hit the open market this summer, he would have gotten $6M per easy in my opinion...

If we're somehow able to get rid of Ericsson's and Howard's contracts in the next year, we'll be in good shape. DeKeyser's contract is fair for what he brings to the team, and of all the things to b**** about this team lately, this contract is right at the bottom in my opinion...

He got market value, and while I don't think he's a franchise cornerstone, he's still a very solid player. D men make more these days, from the scrubs to the Norris candidates. I figured DK was getting a mid-long range deal for $4-5 million per.
