Jacob, what about you? Best bargain? You can go different directions here. You could go with
0:05
how I wrote the article or like what Derek said with bargain for even a long-term contract
0:10
Yeah. And there's a lot of options. We'd already talked about Edmonton a lot
0:14
but I will just give a shout out to Victor Evertson. I think that he belongs in this conversation. I already mentioned Pesci, Matt Duchesne going back to Dallas for $3 million
0:23
and Dmitry Kulikov, four years at $1.15 million. I think that's a fantastic one
0:29
But I'm going to go with the Carolina Hurricanes signing Sean Walker to five years at $3.6 million
0:35
I think that that's a fantastic deal. They just got rid of Pesci, who signed for
0:42
five and a half, I believe. And they just got the next Pesci
0:47
Sean Walker plays a very similar game and is going to be in a very similar role
0:50
And they just are saving $1.9 million on that cap space. So I think that Sean Walker is going
0:58
to fit in under Rod Brindamore very, very well and probably going to play alongside Scott Morrow
1:06
I think that would make a lot of sense and be a mentor for the young guy coming into the NHL
1:11
And then, I mean, once Alexander Nikishin comes over to the NHL, everybody's up for grabs
1:15
But I think as of right now, I think that's one of the best bargain deals
1:21
Yeah, I'm in a gold direction because I wrote an article on it. But I'm going Cam Atkinson
1:26
in Tampa Bay. One-year deal, and he's getting an opportunity in the top six playing with them
1:35
I mean, everyone's saying probably third line, but I think he's going to get, because Stavkos isn't there anymore. Who's going to take his minutes? And Atkinson has
1:43
probably the best chance of being that, if he can stay healthy, that is, and return to even
1:49
a 30-goal form or even a 25-to-30-goal form. I don't think he's 40 goals anymore, but I think
1:55
he could definitely, playing with Braden Point, playing with guys like that, man, he's going to
2:01
have an opportunity. Even scoring 20 goals of what he's getting paid is a ridiculous bargain
2:06
So I think Atkinson right now, I mean, that would be the definition of potentially being a bargain
2:13
and a steal with what he's getting paid. So I'm going Atkinson with this one
