He will sign 6.75M x 6yrs.
With assurances of the captaincy. We all know what he wants.
He's getting 8 x 8. Given what Kane got and DW's recent love of loading the team up with long-term and expensive contracts, the only way it's not that is if it's for more money.
8x8 wouldn't surprise but I think it's a little less if DW can convince him they need a little space to help add to the team. This negotiation isn't quite the same as a UFA from another team type deal. i.e., players like him and Burns would get more on the open market. There is also the threat of being traded for these players with one year remaining who getting extended. I'm hopeful he takes 7.5 but 8+ x 8 is likely considering his 2016 playoffs. He deserves to get paid for producing as he did.
He's gonna have to get in line. We all know there's only one voice for Pete in the locker room.
If you were Couture...would you accept a discount to save the ass of a GM who just overpaid for Kane? I wouldn't. If he does take less than 8 then Wilson better appreciate Couture's determination to win as a Shark.
as has been addressed repeatedly, he didn't overpay for Kane. He paid market value for him. There is a difference. I know it's tough to understand. Man am I glad you and some of the others aren't running this team. The Sharks would Suuuuucccck...!
The more I look at it, though, the more I am perplexed that Burns only got 1M and 1Y more than Kane. 2013-2014, when Burns played only 69 games, was the last time Burns didn’t score more points than Kane ever has in his career.
I like this logic.DW likes to match contracts between top players. Marleau and Thornton got matching deals, Couture and Pavelski got matching deals, Burns and Vlasic were almost matching deals. I say Kane and Couture get matching deals.
