I've read several different rumors. Some suggested that Etem was one of the main pieces (lol) because at that time he had not completely busted yet.

@FriedgeHNIC says David Backes will likely command over $6M per year on open market

Yikes

Very good 2nd liner but he's 32 and doesn't exactly play a soft game. I'd be wary of giving him more than 3 years at a number like that.

I believe he did say he would prefer to re-sign in STL.


Ugh I'm so torn.

I want backes back, but not for 6mil+ at 5 years.

Letting him walk though creates a massive hole at center, but it possibly allows us to sign brouwer. I dont know I want here

6x4 would be great for Backes. 5+ years wouldn't be bad, just risky. He's a complete veteran with leadership qualities.

Keep in mind on a 5-6 year contract, $6m will have a similar effect to $4m by the end of the contract. Backes is Doan-like and Doan is worth every penny.

Brouwer is pretty damn good.

One of my favourite underrated player. I would give him 3 years at at around 4.5 - 5M.

Brouwer is probably worth $5m short term but I sure wouldn't want it to be my team that signs him :lol: he's 30, probably looking for a 6-8 year contract and I don't know that he has that longevity.

Great PP2 trigger man and if you have money to spend he's a character guy. If I'm Nashville, NYI or Ottawa I'd be taking a look at him to fill holes on the front end.

Sigh.

Perfect Benning type signing. Gritty, older, hometown player that wants to be overpaid. Can't wait to see him and Lucic "play" out their retirement contracts here.

Fucking disaster.

After the Gudbranson trade, Dreger said that we should expect Benning to continue to be very active.

Now Bob said the same thing today.

Be afraid.
