Stars Sign Heiskanen for 68 Million!

[Reg or Rog?]

Eight years at $67,600,000.00.

Wow...that's a lot of green for a 21-year-old (he'll be 22 tomorrow). I guess that makes him the league's fifth highest paid defenseman.

Good for him. They must really see him as the centerpiece of their defense moving forward.

So that establishes the floor for Makar's deal. Let's see how creative Sakic can get with his other free agents.

I know that nhl teams match offer sheets every single time, but what is the downside to emptying the money cannon and offering Makar every single dime? They match? Have fun under the cap, Lanche. We lose draft picks? Who cares.

You do this when your expected drafting is in the 20's or 30's.. Not in the top 10.

You do this when you can get the RFA to sign and blow up the competitions cap. It doesn't matter where you're drafting.

But then you won't get invited to the G.M. pizza party after the League meetings.

Hughes and Makar were certainly smiling when they saw this extension. Very curious to see what they get..

If any GM tries to poach one of our players with an offer sheet, Blake should bring back his hipcheck on said GM.

That might result in the one time I don't boo Blake. mhihi:
