"#FlyTogether and Lukas Dostal have avoided an arbitration. And it is a pretty good deal for both sides.

"This Sprong story is still a bit strange for us. He scored XX points in the 22/23 season for #SeaKraken and XX for #LGRW in 23/24.

"A great article about Alexander Romanov's future contract The last X seasons of Alexander Romanov's Paid Contribution look like: 3.4M $5.2M $3.6M. So taking into account the Cap increasing it would hardly be below $5m. However #Flames turned this game around with Bahl's contract. Now every player with a XX min TOI and XX points will ask for $5.5m. In Romanov's case it will be from $6m and the length is not so important but obviously it will be a long-term deal #Isles"

"Since #LetsGoOilers are looking for a goalie and the market is extremely thin they could consider Tristan Jarry. In 2021-23 he had XXXXX and XXXXX SV% XXXXX and XXXXX GSAx $14.6m and $7.9m Power Score. Then he slowed down but XX years isn't time for a goalie decline and a new challenge could help him.

"A great article about Alexander Romanov's future contract The last X seasons of Alexander Romanov's Paid Contribution look like: 3.4M $5.2M $3.6M. So taking into account the Cap increasing it would hardly be below $5m. However #Flames turned this game around with Bahl's contract. Now every player with a XX min TOI and XX points will ask for $5.5m. In Romanov's case it will be from $6m and the length is not so important but obviously it will be a long-term deal #Isles"
