Thread: Cant play with 5 D next year
Honestly, I don't think you re-sign Pavelski. Love what he's done for the Stars, but the last 6 weeks have me real concerned that Father Time is catching up with him. I'm not against re-signing him, but I'd rather see that $3M go towards re-signing Duchene or adding a player to fill his role on the roster.

Also not sure I see Harley getting a 7 year deal. He's been solid, but if history shows us anything it's that Nill doesn't typically hand out long term deals immediately after an ELC (unless you're Miro Heiskanen). Robertson, Hintz, and Oettinger all produced at a high level for longer than Harley has this season & they all received bridge deals. For Harley, you're looking at a 3-4 year deal & if I had to guess, it's probably going to come in somewhere around what Oettinger got on his contract.

Thread: Can you find space for a dman
Love what Harley has become for Dallas this year, but he's not getting an 8-year deal after 1 good year. Oettinger and Robertson both had MULTIPLE solid years on their ELCs and got bridge deals. Harley is getting a 3-4 year bridge deal that allows Dallas to retain his rights as an RFA when it expires. He'll see between $4-5M on a bridge deal, so that saves Dallas a bit of cap.

Lundkvist also isn't seeing that kind of pay raise. He's spent a good chunk of the season as a healthy scratch and has essentially been held on the bench for the entirety of the postseason. I don't think Dallas completely cuts ties with him and allows him to test free agency, but he's not going to get anything more than a 1-2 year deal worth MAYBE $1M per year.

On top of that, if Dallas wants to add some more cap space, Ryan Suter should be buyout target #1. His cap space would go so much further addressing other needs on the roster.

Dallas plays their cards right and they'll actually have a decent amount of cap space to use this offseason on getting their guys re-signed as well as potentially addressing the hole on the right side of their blue line.
