Good price and term for Dallas. Not sure how much left in the tank for Hammer.

Love this signing. As a depth guy for them he'll do great...assuming he stays healthy. I think he said in an interview that this last season was the best he's felt in a while.

Yes he had a great season last year - but the year before was a bit of a train wreck.

All the chat was he'd get 4 mil plus ofr 4-5 years, and for that I did not want the nucks to sign him. But damn, this is close to Luca Sbisa money and only a 2 year term, how the hell did BenLinden muff this one.

I heard an interview where Hammer said Dallas was the clear choice. Maybe offers from other clubs just weren't there.

I heard another report that there was strong interest from Vancouver until mid-June and then communications fell off a cliff. Weird.
