Rumor: [FLA] Barkov extension coming this month or September, Reinhart contract to be announced shortly

[kerrabria]

How anything Tampa can look bad with two cups is beyond me.

So there's this team called the Chicago Blackhawks

 

[Legion34]

I suspect he wants to win the cup and doesnt want Florida to be in the sameposition as Leafs, with too many overpaid players. Either you max out your earnings or stay competative.

or he knows that there are no fans and he doesn’t want the cheques to bounce

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

If Barkov takes 10m x 8y, that's a huge win. I was preparing for north of $11m.
Love him that much more if he goes that route.
Reinhart should be like $6m x 6y.

I understand defensemen have signed massive contracts recently but are you truly going to tell yourself he took a "discount" if Barkov signs for eight years at $10 million? He is certainly worthy of such a contract but that is the type of money the elite players are earning these days.

seems as though the consensus is he is worth 13m/7 as a UFA because some idiot GM is willing to do it.

Let me tell you as a Pens fan, that gloss can wear off real quick.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

With the Nurse signing, I expect Barkov to be somewhere around 6 years $493M

He’s an easy easy 12-13M player on the market so absolutely yes

So how much is MacKinnon going to be paid lol?

 

[Bruce Granville]

Avs will offer him 5.5 x 5.
And quickly go to 6.5 x 6.

Since when is Barkov not elite?

 

[Canovin]

Add the 5.5+6.5 and that's what MacKinnon will be making each year

Who said he is not?

 

[Sota Popinski]

You implied it

Who gives two tugs of a dead dog? Mackinnon is worth a max deal. He and Barkov both took deals that look bad now. They will make up for it on their new deals. No less than 10m

Good thing Barkov isn't a defenseman or it would be around $15M AAV.

You are in for a rude awakening when Pasta's contract is up

 

[Dr Danglefest]

take notes buffalo fans, this is how you do it

take notes Buffalo Fans, if your team had players with rumored extensions you may too be Stanley Cup Favorites

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Since when is Barkov not elite?

Since when he is not an franchise center?

 

[jay from jersey]

Odds are Barkov next deal will be anywhere from 10-12 mill per. And he’s worth it. FLA might get him a little less with the tax laws, but I can’t see him making less then Panarin. He’s is gonna get payyyyed

 

[BB88]

Skinner got 9.

Tavares years ago 11, Panarin 11.65M years ago.
Barkov is 25y reigning Selke winner.

There would be 10+ teams ready to give him whatever he wants.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

You implied it

Not at all - I implied that is the normal contract for elite players rather than a discount. Fans always want to imagine players took an honorable discount but it is not the norm.

You are in for a rude awakening when Pasta's contract is up

Are you suggesting Pastrnak is going to sign for a discount?

 

[Ratsreign]

Wow 8 years @ 10 million for Barkov…... Good for him. How does Florida Panthers afford that?

Last time I was in Florida I bought 8 lower bowl seats for $ 10 each.

How long ago was that? And was it for a game vs Ottawa on a Tuesday when the Panthers were already eliminated from playoff race (that is, sometime after Thanksgiving)? Right about now you can get tix pretty damn cheap in hockey-mad Buffalo...some Sabres fans wouldn’t even go for free if you gave the tix to them.
Long periods of futility seem to have that effect on tix sales/attendance.

I suspect border closures and covid restrictions affect Buffalo a tad more than Sunrise...

The fans there have been growing tired of it since before covid....
