Good luck lol

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Lol

 

[Djp]

He will be lucky to get near $4M

 

[Amadeus]

He'll get it. Someone will pay him. That's about a million overpaid.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

That would be one of the worst contracts in the nhl

 

[Mrfenn92]

Hopefully he gets that, just please not from my team

 

[Hitemwith4]

Its Free agent frenzy and teams always over pay but even this seems way way too much

but i guess we will see

 

[mattef]

i know it's a negotiation tactic, but wow. that is high.

 

[Altimus]

No.

 

[banks]

Signing him somewhere in the 3 million range would be a good move. Anything starting with a 4 would be a mistake. There's just not a long enough track record to do that deal.

Someone will probably do it, though.

*KHL enters the chat.

 

[RangerBoy]

I want 5 years at $5M AAV.

 

[TBF1972]

I want 5 years at $5M AAV.

make sure most of the money comes in form of signing bonus

 

[Rob Brown]

He'd be overpaid but I'm sure some team will do it.

 

[ScottyK]

Ew

 

[Warden of the North]

Yikes. Thats too much

 

[KingsCourt]

LMAO

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

he will get close to that and I will laugh when he does

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I wonder how much he will get it.
If he had more of a track record he could get 5 million but he doesn't. Thankfully Pittsburgh doesn't have money.

 

[jmelm]

He'll get his $5M/year right after I get a pet Unicorn to go along with my pet Centaur.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Now I really hope those rumours about the Canucks being interested are just that: rumours.

4.75M you could make a case about even if it's still high but 5.5M? Good luck in Philly, I guess.

 

[TootooTrain]

All of these rumoured numbers, or potential numbers stated by agents, are 500-750k above what I'd expect him to actually receive.
The dangerous part of this is that you'll scare teams away.

He's worth 3.5M considering he's the best fit on a 3rd line, disappears for long stretches/playoffs and soft as butter. His top end speed and penalty killing are really his only above average skills.

Considering it's free agency he'll probably get 4.5M.

 

[Richard88]

72 points in 146 career games (just under 0.5ppg) and 4 points in 19 playoff games. Clearly not worth the money his agent is asking for.

Considering it's free agency he'll probably get 4.5M.

Only way he gets $4.5m is if it's a short term deal, like 2 years. But even then it's not great value.

I shudder to think what Nichuskin will be asking for if this is what Mikheyev thinks he can get.
