Confirm

[The BBKL Insider]

solid deal

[Matthew]

Good deal. Really nice for Pittsburg long term.

[Fraser]

Love this for Anton.

[anton]

Duchene
E. Staal
Pavelski

down the middle is looking solid

[kimmer]

Not a nich guy anymore since last yr. Guy struggles to provide get himself in what was a pretty decently open audition in Dallas before been got huge. Next yr for sure has to be his proving year so the value is still there

[Handsome&FairMike]

Ya Anton improves for this season but I need to turn my useful 30 somethings into big potential long-term... Henrique only 24 with near pavelski numbers and elias' retirement on the horizon, and nichushkin has just too much potential to pass up on, considering scoring is my teams weakness right now.

35 point rookie season with just a minute of pptoi is solid imo @ 18 years old.

haha easiest sell I've made... Anton came a knocking and kept knocking til we got a fair deal. AND IM WORKING

[kimmer]

I meant before benn* got huge
I'm gonna go ahead and say (not to jinx mike) that nich probably won't be anything better than a 50 pt winger with no periphs. He doesn't like hitting either

[Handsome&FairMike]

50 pt player + Henriques continued improvement and larger role (nearing pavelski status)... for the next however many years. I'll count that as a dubya with two thumbs pointing at this guy

[kyuss]

that's a cool deal

[kimmer]

Yes never denied u might win long term mikey
Only thing is I don't see pav declining til hes at least 37...thsts just the kinda player he is. Hence I wud treat him quite differently than most other "30+s"

There are handful of guys in bbkl that is worth more than their age indicate and theyre ur rare top end h2h contributors. Ppl gotta realize elite players only lose SOME scoring as players age in general... But usually periphs go UP.

Guys like getz/backes/markov/Campbell come to mind. Guys like pavs imo is worth holding onto til retirement of u ever have plans to win bbkl in any given year

[Arian The Insider]

Pavelski is 30 already? Thought he was still like 28

[Nick]

really good deal.

[anton]

oh man you were WAY off

Fair enough... would argue the campbell inclusion in that one haha. But ya - i think I got very good value for pavelski. I definitely agree he won't be regressing for the next 4 years for sure... he'll actually improve arguably with exodus/retirement of big joe and marleau
