Friedman: Gaudreau negotiations will be put on hold during World Cup

Interesting to listen to these guys: http://pmd.fan960.com/audio_on_dema...arrener,-Will-Nault-DM-20160818-Interview.mp3

They seem to think 8+ is starting to sound more and more reasonable

That sounds high to me. That's more than Hedman, who I think is clearly more valuable.

I'm starting to think so too. Treliving may not have left himself enough cap space to get this done. Only about 14 million. I don't think that gets both deals done at max term.

Offer him tarasenko money, he'll probably take it.

Pretty much same situation

Don't worry you have Chiasson now

6.5, 7.5, 8, 9, 9.5 5 year deals each

Id really like Carolina to throw an offersheet at 1 of them. They have tremendous young D and some good young forwards, but still missing that offensive leader. They have cap space to do an offersheet as well. Itd be 4 1sts, but with a improved forward core, they could challenge for top 5 in East so those picks become 15-30th overall, and 4 of those isnt that much.

Gaudreau isn't eligible for an offer sheet and I would be shocked if Monahan was willing to sign one. It's pretty telling when management brings 2 players to the draft, current captain Gio and unsigned RFA Monahan. He wants to be in Calgary.

Johnny is just giving them time to sell the Roughnecks and Stampeders so they can pay him all that money, lol!

Francis won't OS a player, especially not for 4 firsts. If either comes on the block (they won't) then Francis will likely make a huge offer. Players like Gaudreau don't get traded.

To be fair, they don't have a Hedman they can pay 8+ to, but they do have a Gaudreau.

I still think 8+ is an overpay.
