    If I were forced to guess, the next signing will be Mitts, if he takes a 3 X $6 kind of deal or Patrick Kane. 

    I don't even know how i would react if, after the purse strings were held firmly closed for outside help for the last 2 years, we opened them up for Patrick Kane, the most redundant skillset available at any point in that span, and who is thus probably a net negative

    Hmm, it carries some risk. Power has to keep improving for it to be worth it. Beware a sophomore slump though won't represent who he really is. 

    Impo, Dahlin will always be at a level above Power.

    And really, OP is still so young that he could go on a 4 year swoon and still wind up an elite multiple-Norris-trophy D-man. Think of the mountains Dahlin has traversed, and he's still only like 23 years old

    It’s a risk.  Just like the Thompson, Cozens, and Samuelsson contracts were.  Could end up a slight overpay, or could end up a bargain.  It is quick, but it’s what you have to do if you want to try for those bargain contracts.

    This one is just in a different boat for me, because I saw more seasons and a higher level of play from both 72 and 24 (though Cozens isn't too far off, though he's cheaper than Power), and Samuelsson just wasn't nearly as much money

    I'm not complaining, it just better work : )

    Played more 5on5 than any rookie since they’ve been charting it. Room for improvement = sure but he was 19 fkn years old.

    Try to remember how Dahlin looked at 19 and how he looks now.

    he had 35 points and was +10, couldn’t have been too bad.

    I’ll choose to trust KA’s opinion over yours

    Dahlin was making 6 million per year until after he was a top 10 Norris finalist 5 years into his career, Owen Power has inked a deal with an AAV > 8 mil before I've ever seen him play better than a standard 2nd pairing guy around the league, with plenty of nights where he looked worse than that. It's just so quick haha. Dude has played like 80 games

    Again, I understand that this is "what you do"
