[robes1]

He's been amazing this year, and granted he continues like this next year, what does his next contract look like?

I don't understand why people are curious about a contract when its over a year away, wait until the season begins at least lol

 

[izzy]

Whatever he wants

 

[mw2noobbuster]

Yeah, Panarin's gonna be in the driver's seat if he can continue to play like this.

Because he can-sign on July 1st. So if you wait to speculate, he could be signed by then.

Not hard to understand.

 

[COHawk]

More than Brandon Saad.

As a CBJ fan... this.

 

[CraigsList]

9m x 8 would be nice.

Not hard to understand.

He's not going to sign on July 1st unless CBJ hands him a blank cheque, he's obviously been improving each and every year in his style of play, he'll wait until the end of next season to sign

Wanna guess what the HF stands for on here?

Spoiler

It stands for Hockey's Future.

i'd say 7-9 mill long term.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

9.5M x 8 years?

 

[Hello Johnny]

$9M give or take a few hundred thousand over 8 years.

Panarin's an easy decision from the CBJ management standpoint. You get him signed unless it's for an exorbitant AAV ($10 million +). They have the space and the resources to pay him.

The harder decision will be Bobrovsky. Spending so much on a goalie is very risky. On one hand, the team has a decent option in Korpisalo. If they think they can win with him (albeit not quite as much), do you let Bob walk? On the other hand, you never want to let an elite talent walk away even if it's a goaltender.

Complicating both contract negotiations, I think, is the possibility of a big KHL offer. Neither player wants to leave the NHL, but that's still bargaining leverage.

@Crede777 Would be interesting if SKA came with a big offer to Bob. .I think if that's the case, let him go and roll with Korpi

 

[WannabeFinn]

Panarin left big KHL money to play on an ELC for 2 years. He’s said many times he’s here to win the Stanley Cup. The looming “threat” of a big KHL offer to Panarin or Bobrovsky is toothless.

Obviously he is going back to Chicago for 7 years 8mil.

The counter arguement would be the security of a long term deal. Never know abou injuries. Lots of players sign a year before they hit ufa.

The risk however to signing early is that any trade protection would not kick in yet, so cbs would be free to deal him prior to July 2019.

He's said multiple times that money isn't what he's after. If the team makes a good push this season I can see him taking a fair long term deal. Not to say he won't get paid, but I don't think he's necessarily going to be chasing the bucks.

 

[ecemleafs]

id give him 8 years 8.5m. id rather give him 6 years 9m per though.

 

[Ctrain2k]

9+ would be a mistake for Panarin

 

[GodEmperor]

More than Brandon Saad.

Saad take, Bran isn't even close to don.

 

[WannabeFinn]

9+ would be a mistake for Panarin

Why? Panarin drives the offense like no other. It’s amazing how many controlled zone entries he has had these playoffs. He *is* the focal point of our attack. And he’s got the talent to boot. He’s deserving of anything sub-$10m in my mind.

 

[Maylo]

On one hand, the team has a decent option in Korpisalo.

Oh man, what? Nope.

 

[Kevin Musto]

If I were him, I'd consider free agency. Not saying he should leave Columbus, but something tells me they will underpay him.
