when decision is forced at least after 2018 if can drag that long
bishop is gonna get paid in tune of 7.5 range if he continues to play at this level?
if is disagreement ok we will agree to disagree
this is going to force a serious cap crunch lets take out stamkos even though YES todd im saying he signs lol
kucherov 6x6 tyjo 6x6 and palat 6x66 drouin 3 years 5 million bridge deal hedman 8.5 million
stralman 5 million
garrison 4.6 million
coburn 3.75 million
killorn 3.75 million
boyle 2 million
sustr 2.75 million
vladdy 2.25 million
nesterov 1.5 million
koekkoek 1.5 million
vasy 2 million
thats 60.6
filppula 5 million callahan 6 million paquette 1.5 12.5 total or 72.5
19 of our 23 three guys will have on roster probably puts us at 72.5
which maybe we get to 75 before expansion draft and These numbers im sure you will all agree COULD be LOW or im hoping they work lol
is pretty dammed tight with this working perfectly
now you add stamkos 10 million? GOOD LUCK
if we sign stamkos we cant really keep bishop if he gets 7.5
P.S. a SECRET?
THE 72.5 THAT IS WITHOUT A RESIGNED BISHOP
so you let me know how you are going to get this done?
GOOD LUCK
The one thing you're not taking into account is that Bishop is AT WORST the second most important member of this team. So I think we have to prioritize his contract accordingly. There are about 14 guys I'd rather lose than Ben Bishop. This is guy THE reason we're in the playoffs right now. And this is the second time that's been true.
No doubt Vasy will one day be a great goalie too, but as of now? Like Sky said, we wouldn't have made the playoffs with Vasy in net this year. Even if we had Vasy in his prime this year, whatever that will look like, it's tough to say if we'd have made it.
It's a big deal to have the kind of eraser in net that Bishop is. Sometimes it just doesn't matter how poorly we're playing or how well the other team is playing.
