Let's explore EK's market value.
If he waits till he's a UFA, what would he get after that bidding war?

I'll bet your life savings he isn't signed on draft dayStupid thread. He's gonna be signed on Draft day!
Just who signs him is the question......

EK can be traded, however theoretically he doesn't have to sign until he hits UFA status, with us or another team.Won't happen .......... Peirre Dorion will not let EK65 walk for nothing.

I know why you dont want to answer the question, but try being honest for a change.
Of course you dont have any desire to establish market value.If he's an UFA in the future, at some point, he's no longer a Senator, as they would have traded him, and could care less what he would command as an UFA

Agreed.One thing is almost a certainty is he will either be extended or traded by us, not let walk to UFA.
For sure. I don't think it should determine what we have to pay, but it would be interesting to see how crazy it could get for a player like this hitting UFA. Tavares should be interesting this summer, I can't believe NYI went the distance with him.Agreed.
We are just trying to determine market value.
Fair.Is this a question of what he WILL sign for or what he COULD sign for?
Could definitely see him taking a little less to be in a good situation (contender, warm weather, tax haven, ect) but if we're talking about him going to market and taking the best money on the table, I have no doubt he would be the 2nd highest paid player after McDavid (so $12ish mill/season).
Feel free to add a selection with your number.I'm all for theoretical, but this one has zero chance (figuratively of course) of ever happening. We of course would trade him to a team on his availability list, likely with a verbal agreement from EK of an extension, like Turris.
BUT, what an incredible move by a player to screw over a team, any team, as teams would be in the hot potato game with his contract, trying to sign him and then quickly trading him for diminishing returns so as not to get stuck with walking UFA. Hahaha! EK could real screw over a handful of team doing that, though being the first team we'd make out pretty good in that scenario.
Could you imagine that last season and the league wide drama unfolding!
