Player Discussion Colin White RFA

[Sens]

Yes you may,

Essentially if you signed a contract when you are 18 or 19 which White did .. You need at least 10 games in the NHL for it to be considered professional experience

White signed in 2016-17 when he was 19 but did not play 10 games
2017-18 is one professional season
2018-19 is one professional season

Players signing at the age of 18-21 need 3 professional seasons to qualify as an RFA .

Both Aho and Marner have played pro for 3 years.

Thank you, appreciate the knowledge

Senators still trying to lock up Colin White for the long-term

Who knows what to believe coming out of Dorion's pie hole .. I am sure they'd love to sign him long term at low dollars. Hopefully White gets a deal he is happy with. I imagine White's camp would want more than the Sens will want to pay on a long term deal. White obviously wants to play, so I think they settle on a bridge. Chabot on the other hand is the guy they should make a priority. I wouldn't play the waiting , hope for the best game there.

 

[Sweatred]

Nothing for the next few weeks ... I predict a take it or leave it $1.9 + $2.1 two year offer or holdout into camp.

This article suggests 3.15 AAV two years or 6 years 4.95 AAV

I think the 3.15 over 2 is a good contract for White's camp. I don't think the Sens want to pay him that much.. my guess is the Sens would like something closer to 2 AAV

Over 6 is a tougher call. If I am White I want the short term closer to 3 AAV and something at 5+ over 6.

I can't see them not compromising in the neighborhood of 2.5-2.75 AAV over 2. Anything less than 2.5 should be for 1 year if I am Colin White.

I think it is somewhat realistic that White is moved for someone with term if the negotiations continue to go poorly.

I guess there is a healthy dose of pessimism at every turn with this team. And they deserve it.

The negotiations are going poorly? Do you have a source for that statement?

Source: no contract

There are 2 possible permutations for an agreement in this case. Low AAV for low years, or higher AAV for more term. Certainly not a complicated contract.

The 6 year deal is the one they should absolutely be doing, also shows Tkachuk and Chabot commitment to the core.

The White contract will be interesting.

I’m not sure teams or agents have a good handle on what the market looks like for RFA’s right now. Unfortunately for the teams, it only takes one GM to panic and the market goes up.

 

[Sweatred]

White may never be worth $5 million / year let alone a guaranteed $5 million for 5-6 years. These numbers sound like what White’s Camp would want. He isn’t unlike any of the other RFA’s that haven’t signed. Clearly teams are offering significantly less and middle tier players are trying to move the market closer to the elite RFA’s.

The problem is White’s 14G can be hedged by someone at replacement level at $800 000 before risking a $30 million boat anchor.

If PD gives White $30 million and he averages out as a 17G player we will never be able to keep any player.

I dont hate that at all if true

 

[Engineer]

Takes him to UFA but should be a steal of a contract within 2 years if true

 

[Fandlauer]

Well that's a win if it happens. Seriously this would be the first good news for this team in what? Two years?

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

I am very pleasantly surprised.

 

[Sens in Process]

The team committing to White long-term would finally be a , albeit measured, source for optimism.
The team better lock up its young talent and this is the first significant step(if true).

 

[R2010]

I am very pleasantly surprised.

Agreed. That reminds me of the Turris deal.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Feels like even longer.

I'll believe it when I see it, but this would be the first piece of good news in a long long time and a signing I can actually agree with for once.

 

[StoicSensFan]

Woo, Chabby next!

 

[Hale The Villain]

That would be a pretty good deal

I have my doubts that White will progress beyond anything more than a 40-50P guy, but with his great defensive game that would make him a solid 2nd line forward, and well worth 4.75M a year with a 80M+ cap.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Good stuff. I dislike the contracts that take players smacked into the UFA period, but there's not much you can do with a 22 year old.

This was always the easier of the two - let's get Chabot committed to 8 years, 9.5 and we'll actually have something to look forward to with this darn team.

I see White as a 2nd C playing 2nd PP, 1st PK.

If he has to do more than that, it's because some player haven't devellop as they should, IMO.

Like you said, if he do 50 pts a season while being a great Pker, 2nd PP guy.

4.75 AAV would be great. I could see him do more then 50 pts, but IMO, it would be because he plays with elite talent. He isn't a driver, but he follow well.

 

[Tuna99]

Much needed victory for Dorion and his staff.

Well done

With the competition on a young club. White has opted for some financial security. If everything works out he can still cash in when this contract expires. I see it as a win-win. A fair deal for both parties.
