ROR would not have gotten 5M on a 2 year bridge contract as a 21 year old followed by a increase to 6M without 1 GM (Feaster) making that offer. All it takes is one desperate GM to convince his owner that this is what will turn around their franchise.
When do outlier's become the norm? Sekera (IMO a Russell caliber d-man) RoR

Offer sheets don't concern me. I think Gaudreau and Monahan want to be here and I believe they will be signed before other teams can offer sheet them. Both seem like decent honest guys so I think they will be reasonable. Obviously I could be wrong but I see it working out fine. I'm sure they will try and extend Russell before the deadline. Hopefully there is no issue. If there is then you look to trade him.
