Reminds me of the '97 club. Patience was rewarded then and it will be again when you see the numbers on this young defensemen's deal. Kid's a talent, no question, but $70 million? That's a lot of ice to cover with one player.

I think Edvinsson's got a strong claim to be a top pairing defenseman for years to come, but that contract value might be high even if he lives up to the hype @GordieHoweElbows. What makes you think it's going to look similar to the '97 club?

Kid's got a lot of promise, no doubt about that. Reminds me of Tomas Holmstrom when he first came up - didn't quite live up to the hype at first but turned into one of our best players. Still, you can't just throw money around like that without knowing what kind of production you'll get back.
