Value of: What contracts would your team give JVR and Bozak?

[Vancouver Canucks]

Because he'd be a waste of money, he's a good player but if he's a top 2 center on your team you are in trouble, He works in Toronto now because he has Matthews and Kadri ahead of him.

But if he goes to Montreal they are going to expect a level of play he can't deliver

However, don't you have to wish well for someone who's been on your team for a while?

Yeah, that's kind of their thing.

I do, I want him to get every dime, then I want Montreal to fail

 

[shortfuze]

How many times do we have to go over this?

You don’t have to do anything. You don’t have to click on the post.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Good call. I'll support you.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Bozak 2x2.5, JVR 6x5.5, take it or leave it

Expect Bozak to get 4x4, and JVR 7x6.5

 

[unitedstars87]

I think Bozak is going to get 5 years at between 5-6 million on the open market.

Yikes

 

[haveandare]

Imo both are pretty safe bets to be horribly overpaid. I'm not really interested in either for NYR, but would be open to JVR if he wanted to pull a Shattenkirk and take a discount to play at home.

Yeah, no. He's slightly better than Bonino, who was 2 years younger and signed for 4 years. Giving a 31 year old middle six centre FIVE years is a fireable offense.

Bozak 2x2.5, JVR 6x5.5, take it or leave it

That the max I would offer bozak from the leafs.

Bozak's likely to get a similar deal to what Bonino got last summer.

Yikes

I agree yikes... and yet...

2018 NHL Free Agents Tracker

UFA Centers with more points than Bozak this year.... Tavares, Sedin Riley Nash, Stastny and Thornton.

Sedin will retire, or maybe another year for the Canucks. Nash will resign with the Bruins. Thornton is likely back with the Sharks.

Tavares is a question mark, Stastny as well... but after that, Bozak is the "best" UFA C left, with plenty of teams needing a C. Supply and demand, and on July 1st people over pay, and rarely does it work out. If these guys above him, all resign (or retire), it is completely possible that Bozak will be the Premier (cough) UFA C this year.... ya... I know... he'll get paid.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

JVR will get 6 x 6 and Bozak will get 4 x 4.1 the Bonino deal.

 

[Menzinger]

JVR will get 6 x 6 and Bozak will get 4 x 4.1 the Bonino deal.

These look pretty accurate, though I think JVR will get a team to offer him 7 years

 

[firstemperor]

On the open market,

JVR gets 5.75-6.25AAV X 5-7 years. I don't think he gets as much as people think, there are too many wingers on the open market.

Bozak gets 4-4.25 X 4-5 years. I don't think it will be Toronto. He's a pretty good scoring, middle 6 C that can win faceoffs. He was horrible to start the year but has picked it up as the year went on. I expect a team like Montreal and perhaps Carolina to be in on both players. Moreso Bozak with Montreal because they are desperate for a center that can produce on the score sheet.

 

[Dustin]

JVR at 6 seems doable to me for Toronto. Especially if they can trade Marleau in his final year.

It does seem a bit low to me though.

 

[aqsw]

Zero and zero. Jets don't need or want the bums.

 

[Dustin]

Zero and zero. Jets don' need r want the nums.

Yup. The Jets would absolutely be one of the teams that I think would pass on both of these players.

Maybe JVR if they are looking for even more scoring but at the price I can't see it working.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

JvR will be in Carolina or NJ. Just a gut feeling,but id be willing to bet it's one of those 2.

 

[bluedevil58]

I read this wrong. Please delete

 

[Kelly]

I honestly thought Soshnikov would take his spot, but he, unfortunately, got traded to New York.

Thank you. Rangers always go for the good players, so I think I was confused.

 

[connormcmuffin]

The thing is, JVR can't sign for that much in Toronto, especially with Matthews and Nylander re-signing.

Lol, why not, Bozak and Komarov walk there is six million, Matthews is on an ELC next year, Nylander gets raise.

The Leafs can't find 2 million in cap space for 6 x 6, with Marleau gone after next season there is another 6 million free long term.

Marleau's staying for another year, so there won't be cap space available. Also, JVR will most likely play second or third-line minutes, if he stays in Toronto. He might get first-line minutes in another team.

The way Marleau's contract is structured means he's not playing the last season in Toronto, Robidas Island population grows. Worst case scenario Leafs eat an asset to dump him.

Marleau is going to play for 1.25 million before escrow in Ontario's highest tax bracket at 39?

Let Bozak walk move Nylander to C, a 1.5 million dollar raise for JVR is a cake walk. I don't really care because he sucks 5 on 5, he needs to be sheltered so he's never playing on a 1st line.

Good point, does JVR get/deserve a penny more than Turris? It's absurd.
