I'd say similar deals for Wingels and Demers, with Wingels getting one more year than Demers. And Sheppard probably getting a one year deal.

Except that all Shep has had with Sharks is one year deals, I can see him asking for a 2-3 year deal (but nothing longer).

 

[Gigante]

If Brown got 2 yrs I'd expect about the same for Shep. 2yrs @ $2.75M. Expecting Demers and Wingels to be about $2.5M/yr.

Wouldn't completely surprise me to see that either. Considering this season he really picked up his game.

I'd say 1.5 per, for Sheppard.

Shep should makes less than bot Wingles and Demers, IMO.

Eh would rather not have qualified Sheppard since I know they are gonna play him as #3C where he is completely overmatched.

So you are psychic now? Whether they play him or not at #3C, youth is the direction the team is heading (as per DW). They will have to try players out in position(s) and give them the opportunity to improve and show that they are actually good enough for the team.

I have 0 issues with Shep being qualified.

 

[Pavelski2112]

Sheppard had a much better year and is starting to show some real promise here. I personally really want him qualified.

And Sheppard showed last year that he was utterly incapable of playing on the 3rd line.

 

[Gigante]

Yeah, probably confusing since I used totals and yearly in the same message. Meant $2.75M total, so $1.375/yr.

We really need to get rid of that Burish contract. I can just imagine these guys pointing a finger at the Burish contract and asking why they're worth so much less.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Small sample size. I am ok with them giving him a chance to center the 3rd line this year and see how that works out. If we are truly in a rebuild then what does it matter? If not, and we plan on competing, then we have bigger holes to fill than the #3C position.

Obviously, Sheppard is not a #3C at this time. But give him this year and see how he does.

It really doesn't seem like a rebuild when you don't trade your best players.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

We have to get used to the fact that our version of the rebuild (as DW called it) is going to be different. Their goal (on paper) is to give the younger kids increased roles and play the veterans less. If that does not happen then it is truly a head scratcher and I have no clue as to what we are rebuilding either.

Time will tell.

 

[Hertl]

By rebuild, DW meant ice girls and disposing of Drew

No offense, but your values are way off

Edit: I saw your follow up post

Demers could easily get 4M on the market. I think he gets 3.5M per

 

[freddypuck]

They will probably give Demers a 1YR 3Million offer , because he probably would get 3.5 in the market

 

[Gilligans Island]

I'd be tempted to let him walk and take the 1st and 3rd 2015 picks...

Which teams do you think would offer sheet him?

 

[ScottyDont]

Why would we only give him a 1 year deal? With the cap going up next year, he could ask for a lot more money next year.

 

[sr228]

I'm guessing Sheppard gets a 2 year deal somewhere around $1.5mil AAV.

Demers should get a multi year deal for somewhere around $3.5mil.

I'm guessing Wingels probably wants a long term deal. This is his last RFA year so he's probably looking for something in the $3mil range, maybe more.

I'm way more interested to see which of their prospects get QO's.

 

[Gigante]

What comparisons do you think Demers' camp will be using? I'll admit I suck at valuing people. I think "$4M on the market" would be a UFA value, which isn't the same.

 

[ScottyDont]

My guess are these 3 are the most important:

Acolaste, Doherty, Tennyson

DW keeps talking about Doherty and Tennyson so those are obvious.

There's some talk that Acolatse might not get a QO. Actually, I guess I wouldn't be surprised if Doherty, Tennyson and Sateri and the only ones who receive QO among the prospects.

 

[anthonyyy]

With Boyle gone, Demers will likely get more PP time. I'd rather see him signed to a 3 year deal now than a 1 year prove it deal, where his numbers will likely spike this year.
