Do you really think that Armia and Tanev will be asking for too much? I expect them to accept very affordable contracts.
Not a distraction on here - this is fine. I just hope it doesn’t become a big thing when there’s lots of work left to do playoffs wise.I assume you are saying it's a distraction on here? I'm pretty sure what's going on here with us is not a distraction to the team!
Tanev I doubt gets more than 1 million per over a couple of years. I have no clue on Armia, his counting stats might indicate 2.5 to 3 million. We will have to see.
If someone offered an overpayment for him just like Trouba I would consider it. For instance if someone offered a first round pick, or he was the cherry on top of a deal for getting us that 2c.I figure Armia for about 2 mil, maybe a little more. Not enough to want to move him.
Guys we are getting off topic.

Won't even cause a ripple with the team. No negotiations are happening and no one will pay attention.Not a distraction on here - this is fine. I just hope it doesn’t become a big thing when there’s lots of work left to do playoffs wise.
Maybe he is taking a career step and has acquired some inside source - but I don't recall him ever breaking anything before. Maybe KO dropped a dime?
Edit: Oh wait. Can I still say that? If it is out of date, I mean maybe he gave Toth a call, or a text.
If you want a legit #1 RHD you need to pay him, if your willing to only spend X amount of dollars you won’t get that caliber of player. So the question is do you want a stud def or no?It isn't about saving 1 mil. It is about being unable to give every player an extra mil. Therefore you set an upper limit somewhere and pretty much stick to it. Maybe not too rigidly, but close to that limit.
I don't think it is unreasonable for Trouba/KO to start at 8 mil. But if they stick hard to that number you have to proceed accordingly.
IMO, 7 mil is already a bit high for Trouba, so 8 is too high.
It wasn't 'trade Trouba in order to sign Stastny'. It was that trading Trouba opens up some cap space making signing Stastny one possibility. You have to weigh both the benefits of the cap saving and the return vs keeping him at too high a salary.
is he better than Josh? I don't think so. I would pay them the same however it comes out.If you want a legit #1 RHD you need to pay him, if your willing to only spend X amount of dollars you won’t get that caliber of player. So the question is do you want a stud def or no?
He is better than Josh, not a lot but he isis he better than Josh? I don't think so. I would pay them the same however it comes out.
Too bad for him. He sure missed his boat to get paid, then.Trouba didn't make a case for top dollar tonight.
We might even get Laine at a supreme discount too after tonight . Maybe 3M?Too bad for him. He sure missed his boat to get paid, then.

I think he is a 7mil player and have no issues with 6X7If he is an 8 mil player you pay him 8. If he is a 6.5 player you don't pay him 8.
