[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Just wondering what kind of contracts you expect these guys to command this summer.

I just did it crazy how many 26 and 27 year olds their are. They have multiple prime years remaining. They will get PAID.

 

[Domenic Pazzia]

A lot of talent there. Would love to see the Bruins grab Panarin or Skinner to play with DeBrusk and Krejci but financially it doesn't make sense

 

[CREW99AW]

Power forward Anders Lee wants 7/8 yrs on his new deal. Lou wants fewer.

7-8 is a lot of term for a physical player, taking a beating in front of the net.
Which teams would give Lee 7 yrs this July?

 

[Meeqs]

This summer is going to have the most mistakes in it yet as players in the past who were bad, now with some decent one the money handed out is going to be frankly ridiculous

 

[CallMeShaft]

I'm curious what posters here think Hayes would get. Hawks, the team that got screwed by him running off to free agency after his College years were finished, are somehow linked to this kid.

Buccigross tweeted a post about him on April 1st saying that he'd be a future Hawks center, which most of us just laughed off as a somewhat cruel April Fools joke. But the Hawks official podcast tweeted out a picture of Hayes (with no Hawk in sight in the image, nor any other player easily visible) with a quote "this is probably the first time ever we've had this much money to spend" from Stan Bowman right next to the photo of Hayes.

Anything under $7m per and 6 years seems reasonable, no?

Edit: Does seem the podcast tweet was referencing Buccigross' tweet, so it's more that someone who does the official Hawks podcast putting weight on what Buccigross' wrote, and not an additional source suggesting he's coming here.

I think a few of these guys will be overlove by 500k-1.5M and I hope Calgary stays away

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Pretty sure Holland kicks the tires on Karlsson, Panarin and Duchene. And of course all 3 sign elsewhere.

I think Montreal does. We need a power forward who can score

I love his leadership .Everything I am reading about how he deals with teammates.
Gotta say though,7- 8 yrs is too many for me when you consider what a physical game he plays,taking a beating in front of the net.

not saying it is the best plan, im just saying i can see them doing it and i wouldn't be upset either. You cant give 8. 7 is the max for every team but the isles

Some are 26 as of the current date. Will be 27 when the season starts. No differnce to me if a guy is born in feb or August when they are in their late 20’s.

Hawks have to prepare for the DCat and Strome extensions which would kick in the following year. If they repeat this year’s performance it will cost them $15 million plus.

We'll have Crow's cap hit coming off the books and can easily trade a Murphy or Saad (also could trade AA, but that'd be harder).

Though with Hawks getting 3rd overall, could see them taking a center (hello Mr. Turcotte!) and that would have an effect on us signing Hayes.

Still, we have the room and with Bowman getting his top 3 pick, management will look to start a quick turnaround, which would require spending some of the cap space we have available.

If he makes it to UFA, I would love for the NYI to offer Jeff Skinner a big contract. NYI needs a goal scorer desperately and SE NY isn't that far away from Toronto if that's important to Jeff.


7 years x 8-9M per

Seems like a player Trotz would really love.

Not sure if you mean that sarcastically or not, but Skinner would be a big help to the team's biggest problem.

 

[Magic Man]

I think the Leafs would look at Tanev, Maroon and Wilson off that list to play on their 4th line for cheap. May have to wait past July 1st to see who misses out on day #1 and offer them a lighter deal.
