I reall hope not. Of Laine is getting 11 than marner will have every right to ask for 9-9.5 and Matthew's 12.

 

[ffh]

not a chance. chevy grinds rfa's. he will grind him to tops 9aav

 

[Nizdizzle]

He certainly has the right to ask for it. Things will be a lot more clear after this year though, let him prove his worth.

 

[KPower]

A lot of money for their 3rd best player.

 

[super6646]

Lol if true. Thank god we have Gaudreau locked down for the next 4 years, as I cannot imagine what he would've gotten now.

 

[Nick Hansen]

A tad much, maybe. But he is an elite goalscorer. Think 10 like Eichel would fit well in this case.

 

[Goulet17]

Considering what Eichel signed for ($10 million AAV long term), it is hard for me to see how he would sign for anything less.

 

[Brock Radunske]

1. Dreger sources are other people's twitter
2. I hope not because that won't be good if it's signed before Matthew's is.

Lol... Laine is not a 11 mill player

As of now I couldn't justify paying more than 8 or so. Turns the puck over a lot, absolutely useless on the breakout, not anywhere close to being an elite passer. His impact on a shift to shift basis isn't anywhere close to the players who are making that kind of money.

He needs to improve a lot this season in order to earn that kind of money. I'm a Jets and Laine fan saying this.

He better pay Scheifele’s meals rest of his life.

Almost double vs. Scheifele and 3mil more than Wheeler. And Laine ain’t better.

I believe that Laine's flaws are probably irrelevant if he is already a 40 goal scorer and likely higher in the future. His unique skill (goal scoring) is immensely valuable, regardless of any other holes in his game.

That beard, though.

Wasn't Dreger the guy that said Matthews wouldn't sign "for a penny less than McDavid"?

Laine's definitely not an 11M player yet, 9-10 AAV without a doubt though.

 

[ottomaddox]

shut the front door!

 

[bukwas]

Dreger has some wild thoughts.
Could somebody please give the desperado some inside information. Friedman too while you're at it.

 

[Kranix]

If Laine gets 11 what does Nylander get, like 14??

 

[ffh]

If Laine gets 11 what does Nylander get, like 14??

if we are to believe 11 for laine then its 10 for Matthews and 5 for nylander.

I think you're going to get people to argue with you but I'm just sitting here and praying you are right.

I guess you missed Bob's cast at the end of June... saying 12M & 10M for the 2 TOR players due next year

as for OP, yes I full y expect a salary in that range

 

[Baksfamous112]

Slap to the face

 

[Holymakinaw]

I dunno if he;'ll actually get it, but it's not that outrageous a "want", really.

How many guys in the league have scored 44 goals in a year? I know Ovechkin makes less, but he signed his deal some years ago, when things were cheaper.

That kind of scoring puts bums in seats & means MAJOR MONEY.

 

[Drew311]

Not a chance in hell. If that's his ask he'll be sitting a long time.

 

[Buf fan in Nash]

I'd be pretty surprised if he got more than $9m per.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

I don’t think he is worth anything close to that
