Coming off a 6 year, 4.25 AAV contract. This past season he had 36 goals, 18 assists, 54 points in 81 games. He'll probably command at least 5 mil on the open market, probably more.anyone have a general idea of what JVR would take to sign with us? cap hit and term please.
On another note, thoughts on inquiring about Jason Zucker? He's an RFA currently unsigned by the Wild. 26 years old, plays both wings. Probably will command a fair amount of money as he only made 2 mil last year but I would pay him if he's gonna be a regular 25-30 goal scorer.

I like it. Minnesota has a lot of good forwards that could help us.
That said, who do we offer now? Bennett and Kulak?
We don’t really have a surplus of talent anywhere on the team anymore.
I like it. However, we already blew our trade capital, and I cannot imagine BT giving up on Bennett yet. I fully expect the flames to be in on one big name UFA and likely a depth add. Something that is both scary and exciting at the same time. All I know is that we still have a hole in our top 6 and I cannot see Treliving sitting on his hands with this current forward roster.
I think he gets 6x6 at least if you look at history. Maybe more with the cap going up. No thank you.
Just offer sheet him, who needs picks anyways
It's simple, take the chance. The best teams draft their top talent, re-sign their home grown talent to reasonable long-term deals, they make good trades and they take risks with UFAs that pan out; we've done pretty well on the first 3, we need to take that chance on the 4th.6 years...yeah, I imagine we'll regret that contract sooner than later. I don't know, what does this team do? We should be priming ourselves for a deep playoff push at this point with a strong core intact and locked up, I cannot imagine we are ready to ship out anymore big names in a trade. FA has just started leaving a bad taste in my mouth with bad signings.
I doubt Treliving is going to make a big splash in free agency. The last we need is to tie ourselves to an albatross contract with Lindholm, Hanifin, Tkachuk, Bennett extenstions on the horizion

JVR is just 29, has averaged 30+ goals per 82 games over the last 5 seasons and he plays a style of game that leaves his body less likely to break down as soon; I think you can prject him being good for at least 4-5 more years. Our window is likely over in 4-5 years and our biggest need IMO is another bonafide 30 goal scorer.
I think he is the kind of guy you take the risk on as he fits the need and window.
Honestly, with our window, the difference between a 6 and 7 year contract won't hurt anything more than the team's wallet. I think you have t0 go 7 years to give him every possible reason to sign.I’ve honestly changed my thoughts on JVR. If you can land him for under 7 and under 6 years; might be a good add.

Most wingers can, in todays NHL wingers move from side to side depending where the puck and/or play is. If JVR can't, Tkachuk can.Can JVR play both wings at a high level?
My plan....
