[Crede777]

I think he will become the highest paid goalie in the league.

Not that he should or shouldn't be, just that he will be.

 

[SI90]

7 years 9.5 from the islanders. Book it.


Long term contracts for goalies are so scary.

I could not disagree more. Especially with the recent report that Sorokin is excited about Lou taking over and excited about playing in the nhl.

I expect a big push to sign Sorokin in 2020

 

[BonMorrison]

According to my last NHL 18 Franchise Mode, Bob signs a big contract with Buffalo and THRIVES there.

I love Sorokin and think he is the real
Deal but the fact is he’s not here and even if he does come over there is no guarantee he will become an elite goalie.

BOB is a top5-10 goalie in his prime. Lou’s history shows he goes after guys he expects to start.

Hurricanes need to be on this

 

[780il]

Canes or Sabres getting him if he doesn't resign, book it.

Talk is he's seeking close to Price money. At least 7 x $10M per good luck with giving any goaltender that kind of money.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Sabres trade for him, but don't know if he signs an extension there. Think he'll help bring them to the playoffs if traded there this season.

If he doesn't sign with Buffalo I could see him signing with San Jose. But if I were him I'd stay in Columbus and hope Jarmo gives good money. But also if I were in his shoes and didn't want to be with Columbus, I'd go to Buffalo because their future looks bright.

10 AAV

I didn't say it was a good idea just my prediction of 2 teams that need a goalie badly that are willing to overpay to get out of the basement.

 

[jetsforever]

probably 9-10M AAV

 

[Pens x]

He’s wasting his time playing for Columbus. I hope he finds a contender to play for.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

I'll go with 11 million per, 7 years.

Teams:

Carolina
Calgary
Colorado
Edmonton

Isles owners have been proactive with Sorokin, talking to his agent trying to get him to training camp.

His recent pro Lou & pro nhl comments lead me to think the isles will be aggressive in trying to get him over in 2020

Isles will not be making 30/31 yr old Bob the highest paid goalie in the league.

A bird in hand is worth 2 in the Bush.

 

[Mr Positive]

He probably insists on getting the Price contract

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Biggest trap deal in recent memory. Buyer beware! He checks all the wrong boxes.

From what i've seen, It looks like he's seeking the Price contract.

So the question is, what does Columbus do if they don't want to pay?

It is easy to say that the Price contract was a mistake, but if Columbus lets Bob walk, are they a playoff team anymore? What is that worth? Which goalie could step in? If a team like Calgary finds a way to squeeze in Bob, aren't they an instant contender? Carolina, Florida, Buffalo, St.Louis?

So we can say that overpays are bad, but are they really bad if they can radically shift your team's fortune? Imo the ultimate GM would be one that could make calculated overpays that pay off, and find ways to fill out the depth with cheap players, like good draft picks and smart signings.

I would tend to believe that Columbus will definitely look to move Bob, If they don't or can't afford to resign him. Bob definitely makes teams like Carolina, Florida, Buffalo and St Louis playoff teams should they acquire him. He's just that good. I think Bob will look to sign with a legit contender next summer if Columbus doesn't resign him. And as of now it looks pretty unlikely.

 

[Price is Wright]

I expect him to go west.
