While there’s some risk, it makes more sense to pay guys for what you hope they’ll do for you versus what they’ve already done (and risk getting Gallagher, Armia, and Petry-type contracts).

Carolina’s deal with KK serves as a warning about the risks of these deals.

I think it’s important that this front office is showing our core players that they believe in them. Giving the young guys the stability of long-term deals should only help to build their confidence.

I like the Ghule On – Ghule Off graph. I mean, for a cherry picked metric, it’s a good one.

I think Ghule’s floor is a Savard/Edmundson/Chariot type of player. Those guys get in that 5-6 million range. Rather have a guy in his early/mid twenties making that money that a guy in his late 20’s early 30’s with that dough.
And 5.5 Million in 2 or 3 years will be the equivalant of 3/4 million because of cap inflation.
