Not a chance.

 

[Digitalbooya]

More than Tavares? I don’t think so. I’d say around what Draisaitl got.

Really good at one timing pucks on the pp while not playing top d-men being sheltered-ish on the 2nd line. Hell of a player dont get me wrong but I wouldn't give him more than 9. Tavares money? No, he plays arguably the least valuable position in hockey (could argue goalies are less valuable) and is an RFA.

 

[SI90]

He’s an RFA coming off an ELC.

Only the oilers give their players UFA type contracts to RFAs and/or players off of ELCs.

 

[Battle Lin]

i dont see why he shouldnt make as much as eichel

Buffalo does also

because hes not as good. hes a one demensional winger, hes good at what he does but hes no Matthews.

Oilers were dumb to give connor a blank cheque but I get why they did it. IIts not a desireable place to play, neither is winnipeg or buffalo. The advantage winnipeg has over the other dumps is they can win. I fully expect liane to come in around 8 mil.the only question is if he will sign eight years and eat ufa years at 8.if hes puting forty to 50 goals up in his 22-26 seasons eight mil is a bargain.Its hard to tell. I think his contract will be the most interesting because hes not a center, hes one dimensional and he has the most potential to score fifty year in and out(mostly pp goals mind you)

He definitely deserves more than Drai but I hope he doesn't ask the max.

 

[Advanced stats]

I can see Laine betting on himself and not wanting to sign a full 8 year deal.

I'll wager he signs at 8 million for 5 years.
Lots of money for now, and a new deal as he's in his prime.

 

[Whileee]

I bet it'll be an 8 year deal, and guess the AAV will be around 9m.

Eichel is much better

Eichel is much better

Not at scoring goals. Not now not ever.

There's a lot more to hockey then just scoring goals though.

There's not scoring them on your own net

I, 4-1, don't see why you needed to bring that up

 

[Kcb12345]

8 years, $9.5 million AAV seems fair. Maybe $10 million AAV

 

[Jets]

That Kucherov deal will be mighty close IMO

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

The Draisaitl contract is such a pain in the *** for Leafs and Jets fans. Everybody else around Drai makes about $2M less, but that contract is brutal for teams looking to sign their own RFA's.

I say Laine ends up between $9.5-10M for 6-8 years but if it wasn't for Edmonton maybe $8x8 could have gotten it done

 

[robertocarlos]

Eight years, nine million per.

 

[ffh]

Chevy knows how to treat players coming of elc's with no rights even though most gm's have no clue.
8x8 tops will get it done.

 

[Critical13]

My prediction is Laine signs for 9.5. Matthews gets 10. Barzal gets 9 after another great season.

3 most entertaining players in the NHL right now.

16 million offer sheet from the Coyotes

If you had the best player in the world, you'd hand him a blank cheque too. Too bad your franchise player walked away for free. In terms of Drai, yes that was an overpay by a million bucks.

 

[ffh]

16 million offer sheet from the Coyotes

That's reserved for Matthews

 

[Mickey the mouse]

i dont see why he shouldnt make as much as eichel

Bcuz he's not a center
