Nashville Extension Offers

Greg Zanon (C) D - 1 year 0.725 M
Offer is 3 Yrs/6M (2M/YR)
-Comparable offers: Jason Smith got 2.6/2
-I offer longer term, but lower amount for a lesser quality player
-Smith is paid, in large, not on his comparable stats but massive leadership reputation.
-Smith's superior Leadership and abilities is the gap in pay, in addition to the concession in contract length.

Ville Koistinen (C) D - 1 year 0.700 M
Offer is 1YR/1M
-Had a nice stint in the NHL amassing 17pts, shows offensive potential.
-Getting on in years for someone who has yet to crack the roster on a full time basis.
-On the outside looking in from Nashville's POV, will be given 7th D Man spot with a shot to move up.
-Contract gives him a chance to prove himself, show abilities while shoring up deficiencies.

Both agree to those offers.
