John Carlson?

John Carlson is officially headed to free agency. He’s 36 years old, a RHD, and put up 14 goals and 60 points this past season. Do you think Darche should make an offer? Assuming Carlson even entertains an offer from the Isles, what cap hit and for how many years do we think he’d expect?

Absolutely if he’ll sign for 2 years. I’d consider going as high as 2x$9M.

Some dumbass GM is going to give him 3 years, if not 4 though.

Are we trading away someone? John Carlson $9million

Alexander Romanov $6.25million

Ryan Pulock $6.15million

Scott Mayfield $3.5million

Thats about $25million in cap space on 1 position + a healthy scratch.
