We see it all the time now, specifically most recently with a guy like Kirk Cousins who signed a 4 year deal which is really a 1 year deal

this begs the questions, what was the first contract signed where management knew they were going to stretch out the years/dollars?

Basically, what contract started all the creative accounting in the NFL?

Going into next season, puckpedia projects us at roughly ~$40m in available cap space

Assuming we sign robo ($14.5m), bischel ($3.75m), and seguin ($3m) to relatively market rate deals, that leaves us around ~$20m to spend on new blood

Who are you wanting to pursue in free agency?

(lets assume guys like Kucherov and Makar and the likes won’t hit the market, because they won’t)

Jamie Benn should be back in a Dallas Stars uniform next season.

Stars GM Jim Nill plans to meet with his pending UFA and team captain after the NHL draft to discuss things, but the expectation is that he should be signed. Benn turns 37 on July 18. He signed a one-year deal last summer worth $1 million in base salary plus performance bonuses. I would expect a similar contract again. - All per Pierre Lebrun

Really glad to hear Gully is putting focus on offensive production going into next year. Great to have a coach that is willing to adapt

Just in case nobody has seen it

I will be playing on a team over the summer where I am the best player by a decent margin. I am by no means a world better but definitely have the ability to hold my own

my only problem is im more of a pass first guy when playing with players my skill level, and i want to be more selfish on this team to avoid being frustrated and because i know im the most skilled player on the ice

does anyone have any tips for being selfish while also playing smart hockey?
