In regards to Samsonov, do we have any idea on what he's looking to get term/$ wise?

Nothing's come out about his contract negotiations except for the fact that they're happening basically. I'd be pretty surprised if his new AAV didn't start with a 3.

I'd be willing to give him a little more to keep the term short. I'd really like to see if Woll is as good as he appeared at the end of the season/playoffs.
I think the basic restriction is that he can't be involved in discussions related to amateur scouting due to the knowledge he possesses from Calgary's amateur scouting department. So he just can't be involved with the actual selection process. He can still be in Nashville and do the other parts of his job though (considering every GM and major agent is present there's still plenty for him to do).
It's a bit of a silly restriction, but not one without precedent. I remember when Peter Chiarelli left Ottawa to become Boston's GM way back when he was actually prevented from making any player related decisions whatsoever for the Bruins until after the draft and after the beginning of the free agency period. Coincidently enough Chara left the sens for Boston during that period. So while Chiarelli couldn't sign Chara himself I'm sure he told his staff who were in control that he'd love for them to sign a 6'9" defencemen if one just happened to be available.

That's what I'm referring to, when Matthews and Nylander start their new contracts. They're fine.cabber24 said:

Freddie's numbers at the time were much better (career .918 Sv% vs .908) and significantly more consistent (seasons ranged from .924 to .914 while Samsonov's range is .919 to .896). Freddie was also just acquired for a 1st and 2nd rounder while Samsonov was of course signed for free after not being qualified.
This isn't meant as a big knock on Samsonov, but I don't think there's much of a comparison there.

Trade scenarios ... herman is not going to like this.
They get right to the point:
Like Auston Matthews, Nylander has one year left on his contract. Unlike Matthews, he isn?t in the elite-of-the-elite tier of players where a team unequivocally can?t afford to lose him, nor does he play a premium position. That means there should be a cut-off point after which the club should move on.

Management needs a complete overhaul. Absolutely amazing how stupid they all are. Shanahan and Keefe needed to go along with Dubas. More this team disappoints the more we stay the same. Core and coach both needed changes but good luck with that. Nothing will probably change with any of them and nothing will change come playoffs.
