Value of: Paul Stastny Next contract

[flamesforcup]

Any idea what his next contract should look like? I would love him on the Flames although he is 32 already so age is getting up there. The new Kane contract should make all UFA values go higher now.
Thoughts?

6.5 per 4 years would be about right but he will get more per and years likely by someone.

 

[boredmale]

Alot of teams will be desperate for centers so him and Brassard will fight for that 6.5M-7M contract

 

[PetterssonSimp]

Whatever the Jets can fit him at. He really shouldn’t be allowed to walk, his chemistry and fit with Laine is almost too good to pass up

 

[10Ducky10]

Brassard still has a year on his contract.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

$7M for four years?

 

[flamesforcup]

$7M for four years?

hmmm. I doubt he would accept that since Kane just got 7x7. But then again Kane is 6 years younger. Maybe 7 mill at 5 or 6 years gets it done?

Whoever gives him a 6 year term a 7 mill is an idiot. He's got 2, maybe 3 decent years left on him and while 7 mill is too high, he'll get it from a desperate GM.

Stastny is 32, 4 years puts him pretty close to retirement anyways. 7m is his current salary, probably won't get more than that, will probably sign for less on a contender.

Also where at the flames supposed to put him? Are we buying Janko on the fourth line for good, or getting rid of Backlund/Monahan? We don't need centers.

Not good for teams, as when he retires, his cap will still be valid.

We are looking at you Bergevin

 

[Mike Liut]

I think whoever signs him will regret it

Worst contract of the offseason, AINEC if someone goes and signs that.

He played behind an elite 1st line in Winnipeg with Ehlers& Laine, how many teams can give him a spot like that, and how many good years does he have left, 1 or 2 maybe?
No chance should he be a 1st line C for any team.

Could see Bergevin go after him and offer something crazy, or Benning.

 

[habsgirl5000]

after JT tells MB to F-off.....MB will give stastny a "Price-Like" contract and feel good about himself that he "out-bid" everybody else

What a huge mistake this would be for the team that signs him.

No it won’t. That only applies to contracts signed by players that are 35+

 

[KingsHockey24]

I'm sure some team will pay him 7M and then regret it once they realize he's a 2nd line 50 point center.

 

[Mighty Makar]

I’m hoping the Avs sign him. $16M/3 years.

 

[Brett44]

I’m hoping the Avs sign him. $16M/3 years.

I hope also but i think Staz want 4y and 7m and AVS can do it.

 

[Hmmm]

I hope the Avs stay far far away from him

 

[Chet Manley]

Guessing a short contract to allow him to sign the next one before the 35+ rule applies. If not it'll be 6 or 7 years. The term you want to give +2 yrs UFA trend.

Would be cool if the Jets could move Little and give his money to Stastny. Little is a decent player but he doesn't mesh as well with the top 6 wingers and is making 2C money.

And Statsny will become 35, before his contract expires.

 

[Tryblot]

And Statsny will become 35, before his contract expires.

That's not how it works. It's when he signs the contract.

 

[Qwijibo]

And Statsny will become 35, before his contract expires.

Doesn’t matter how old he is when the contract expires. It’s based on the age at signing

 

[elitepete]

I’d offer 1 year 8.5m from the Canucks, but I doubt he takes it.
