@ChiHawks10 you did it! You reverse psychology’d a steal of a bridge deal!!
this is one tasty as **** deal!!! the man is getting less than Connor...WOW!!! shorter term yes, but this gets us through the weeds now.., no way Strome gets over $5mil now...
The negotiations: Would you take 8,5 Mill AAV Alex? Brinksy: no, Well.... would you take at least 7,5? Brinksy: nope, its still too much, 7?, Brinksy: nope, 6 million?, Brinksy: 6,4 and a new cool toy for my dog , deal!.
I'll take it!
... wait, does Columbus have anyone on their roster with the same cap hit but double the term?
I'd offer Strome 3 years at 4.5m per and worst case he's your 3C and eats up the cap that Anisimov was set to make. Best case he's a 70 point center on a steal of a deal. Big picture it looks like the Hawks are trying to maintain their long term cap leverage beyond 19 and 88 last year of their deal. Who knows what the situation of the team will be so no need to go sign 8 year deals when the team might want to do a full rebuild. Benefit of 3 year deals is lower aav for Cat during 19/88 final prime years, maintain cap leverage long term, and Cat is still an RFA when deal expires. Stan is all the way back.
**Waits for a Stan hater to try and find an issue with this deal**
You know it's inevitable.
f***ing Bowman buckled under pressure and couldn't sign him for longer term!!!!**Waits for a Stan hater to try and find an issue with this deal**
You know it's inevitable.
somehow, someway sanity has come back a bit here!Bridge deals are back!
