Confirmed with Link: Brodie signed to extension - 5 years $4.65 Million AAV

[SmellOfVictory]

Other than the extra 2/3 million per year he'll likely get after a 4/5 year deal....no reason at all!

It's still a risk on his part if he decides to go with a shorter term contract. Just as a longer term contract is a risk for the team.

I don't think anyone can argue strongly that either a short or long term contract is what Brodie would obviously go for, because there are arguments for both sides of it from a player's point of view. From the team's point of view, however, I really do think an 8 year contract is ideal in this case, to improve likely cap efficiency 3+ years down the road when the team might actually be competitive.

 

[Guido Sarducci]

Lets see how he plays this year. He is signed for this year after all. My guess at this point is 5x5. His agent loves the Wi eman deal. And Engelland. And Russell....... He deserves bank.

Edit- And he has already signed the "bridge contract". He has Flames management up poop creek.

Any chance that this gets done before the end of the season? Brodin just had his signed at a pretty good steal although Brodie's situation is different. Something like 5-6 years and between 4-5 mil?

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I think there's a good chance, the longer he remains unsigned the more likely his dollar amount goes up.

Yeah, clearly his worth a long term extension. The longer the wait the more it will cost as he'll have another good season with Gio.

if he can prove his worth in a rebuilding year, I'm sure no one would have a problem giving him a Brodin/Josi type of contract.

 

[DCDM]

Give him all the monies

 

[CraigsList]

I want him to a 6x6 now. This guy is the real deal.

 

[herashak]

8 yr/ 72 mil is fine with me

Not applicable examples since neither signed bridge deals.

At the rate Brodie is progressing, he'll be getting more than Wideman money easily.

 

[Bouma Fett*]

5 x 5.5.

 

[InfinityIggy]

6.2per for 8x.

Just do it.

I think at this point the flames just sit down with Brodie, smile, and agree with the amount TJ spits out. When Gio comes up you kneel down in front of him and present your butt because we've been stealing him for the last couple of years at his cap hit.

Brodie will be interesting. He's still an RFA, but he isn't signing out of his ELC but his bridge, so he'll be more expensive but not UFA expensive. I think if they do it sooner than later they can keep it at around 5. Gio is even more interesting because by the time his contract ends he'll be nearing 33 which will affect contract talks (if an extension is signed with Calgary than it'll will be heavily front loaded).

 

[Bouma Fett*]

I still hate contracts over 5 years

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

1 billion doll hairs.

 

[SmellOfVictory]

6.2per for 8x.

Just do it.

Hopefully he signs for closer to 5ish.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Hopefully he signs for closer to 5ish.

Yeah, I hope so.

I'm pretty excited about him though. Hopefully management gets him signed to something reasonable.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

5 x 5.5.

This is what I see, exactly this.

 

[SaintMorose]

6 x 5.5 is my guess wouldn't be calling it a steal; but I'd still be happy to see him signed at that price.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

8 years, 40 million.

 

[DCDM]

14 years, $140 million

 

[MonahanTheMan]

Sign him to Ovechkin's contract

 

[Gritty]

6 x 5.5 is my guess wouldn't be calling it a steal; but I'd still be happy to see him signed at that price.

I could see this or maybe a little less term and more cash...

5yrs @ 5.75

 

[Johnny GODreau]

2 years 15m that gives him 1 year to UFA, and he'll work his butt off, to make the most money on likely his largest contract.
