Confirmed Signing with Link: 2021-22 Free Agency Thread

[Canuck Luck]

Who is left Palmeri Saad Tatar Rask Krejci Parise?

Rumour is Palmeri is re-signing in NYI, Parise to NYI, Krejci re-signing in BOS, Rask will retire or re-sign in BOS in Jan

Cizikas

A fond St. Louis farewell for David Backes

pretty sure Backes can go under retired

 

[smsgtkvv]

His contract ended this year and Ottawa tendered a qualifying offer which makes his a restricted (Group II) free agent. He'll remain a restricted free agent until he is 27 years old which will be in 2025 or re-signs with Ottawa before that or his rights are traded, etc. Seattle can trade for his rights, too.

Maxim Mamin is one of the rare example of a restricted free agent from years past who plays a year or two in Europe and then re-signs with Florida.

Cizikas

Prob wants too much. Nobody willing to pay

Told Francis and the Leafs high numbers purposely so they’d say no is my guess. Will probably resign $2.75-$3.

Ritchie, Cizikas = the notable UFAs remaining?

Anybody else?

It's sort of believed Lou has Palmieri, Parise and Cizikas under contract he for whatever reason just hasn't announced it yet

Forgot about Zajac also....

I am guessing he is option 2 if we can't sign Cizikas, but at this point in time we don't have enough capspace(or even roster space for that matter) to sign all our RFA, the players I mentioned and a 2nd pairing cheap LHD(I am talking 3-4M range)

So what can Islanders afford to pay Cizikas ?

I am factoring in a 5 year 3.5M contract, maybe they can take that down a bit giving him a 6-8 year deal

6 years is probably too long. 3.5m for a 4th line player though?

I would argue Cizikas is a 3rd line center who fits perfectly on the Islanders 4th line. I do believe his stats sort of take a hit given the role he has played for us(else he would be a consistent 35-42 point guy in the right situation)

Don't the Islanders also have a pressing need to lock of Beauvillier

should be interesting how the rest of the summer shapes out

I am guessing 4.5-5M. I can see them giving him a 3-4 year deal to try reduce the cap(ie he would be a UFA @ 27/28). Beauvillier is sort of the opposite of Cizikas were the longer the contract the bigger the caphit(due to age)

Interesting. With all the guys on AHL deals getting NHL contracts this year, I figured Pouliot would get another NHL deal.

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

An official confirmation of the deal from the EHC Red Bull Munich is pending, but is expected soon.

München ist sich offenbar mit Ben Street, Kapitän der Binghamton Devils, einig

 

[caley]

Arbitration!

 

[CraigBillington]

McNiven.... Lol

 

[miscs75]

McNiven.... Lol

Clearly he’s asking for $950k instead of league minimum.
