I suspect that will be nearly as much of a steal as Vlasic's contract is for the Sharks. Hampus Lindholm is the guy you NEED to lock up now though. That guy IMO, is your best Dman based on the old eye test(I'd take him over Vatanen). Gives me fits thinking how good they might get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd String Champ Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I think Simon Despres and his agent made a mistake on the length and price of this contract. He will be near 30 when it's done and might have some injuries.... I think the Ducks made an incredible deal here! He will have a very good career in Anaheim.
