Send in your March mailbag questions
It's been a while since we've done one of these properly.
Happy Wednesday everyone.
It’s been a little while since we’ve done a mailbag here at Shap Shots, and honestly I’m not a huge fan of the chat feature when it comes to my process of fielding mailbag questions.
So, instead, I’m asking everyone to drop their mailbag questions in the comment on this post. That’ll make it easier for me to field any and all of them, and we can chat about anything that comes to mind — hockey or otherwise.
The mailbag will be free for all, but only paying subscribers get to ask the questions — have to have some perks, right?
If you’d like to support this site as a paying subscriber, which is a huge help by the way, you can do so here.
Depending how quickly the mailbag fills up, I’ll write this for either Thursday or Friday.
Tangential to the Miro questions - should the Stars be eliminated in a first round without Heiskanen, did Jim Nill err by failing to address the situation before the trade deadline?
Sean, I don't want to get ahead of anything, as the playoffs are all that matter, but, always thinking ahead (like Jim Nill). Can you dive into the Stars salary cap situation as the team would enter next year? With the Mikko signing and Wyatt, can they afford to keep Granlund and Robo and basically everyone else, except the depth pieces. Will Benn and Duch come back at really reduced contracts? Duch has played two years at like $3 million and his production has been much greater. Will he and Benn be like Pav and take less money? How much room do they have? Thanks! I nearly forgot---make sure to lock Harley up soon!
