Speculation: Is Bobrovsky getting CP money?

[Madifer]

I hope he stays in Columbus.

But.

Given his recent success do you think he is getting Carey Price type of money from whoever signs him?

Personally I think that paying $10.5m/year to any goalie is still ridiculous.

No I think he’ll get like 9.5 and he’s probably increased his value by like a million these playoffs.

 

[780il]

No, giving that much to a goalie is f***ing ridiculous


I'd pay no more than 6.5m for a goaltender, but that may just be met

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

Not quite Price's cap hit, but IMO his cap hit ends up closer to Price than Lundqvist.

I'd pay up to 8 million in the right scenario

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

You can't pay a goaltender $10M+ and still be competitive in a cap world. He'll probably get it but it's a poor investment in general.

You should probably keep guys like this or Andersen types even while they're cost effective, but anything more than 7-8 starts costing you decent roster players to make room.

 

[CraigsList]

Depends on the term given.

7 years? Probably 8.5-9m. He wants to get paid more than what’s he already is, that’s for sure.

If he goes to Florida he could possibly take a slight discount.

 

[The Nuge]

**** no. 5 years @7.0 would be my max offer. I’d be trying for more like 4 years @6.0-6.5

 

[Captain Controversy]

5 years at 8 million per.

Exactly what it should be. Hoping Tallon can push for 6yrs max though but if we can somehow get both Bob and Panarin for under $20 million combined, we would still have space for a veteran #3/4 D in the $5 million range.

Bob - 6yrs x $8.5 million (signing bonus heavy/performance based)

Panarin - 7yrs x $9.5 to 10 million.

Top 4 D - $4-5 million

We have $21 million in space. Moving Pysyk or Reimer creates more room.

Had no idea what the "something else" option could refer to at first but it is my choice. Yes, I think Bob will get CP money. No, I as a GM would not give it to him. Poll question and thread title are different.

Way he has been playing he is worth it

 

[BatVader]

No, because only Marc Bergevin is stupid enough to pay a goalie that money.

 

[Mrfenn92]

On a shorter term deal 3 years maybe 4, I would feel ok giving him that much per but not at 7 or 8 years.

 

[sansabri]

I wouldn't, but someone probably will give him what he wants.

 

[93gilmour93]

UFA stars get paid huge and Bob will get minimum 8.5 per year on a long term deal. I think someone will give him 9-9.25 x 7

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

He's not getting CP money AND term.

I can see him getting close to CPs caphit on maybe a 3 or 4 year deal, but if he wants 7 years he's taking a discount

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

The Price contract has been completely ridiculous from the minute it was signed. I’d certainly hope, for the sake of the league, no other GM is that braindead to commit double-digit AAV to a ****ing goalie.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

I don't think he'll get Price money, but do think he'll get paid well and probably close to Price money. Probably from Florida. 5 years, $9M AAV?

 

[Leafs87]

Do I think so ? Yes

Would I be happy if my GM was the one who gave him price money ? No

CP so far has earned every cent of his contract. CP is on another level, just like McDavid is on another level as a skater.

Bob is probably not getting CP’s money, but I think he’ll get close. My bet is 7 years/70 millions

 

[captainpaxil]

With two vezina under his belt khl execs would probably love to bring home the best goalie in the world. Je may take less if he likes the situation but if anyone thinks they're gonna play hardball they're kidding themselves

 

[mikeyp24]

Bob would be signed by now if it was 5yr term or 8mil... he isnt unsigned because he wanted out he wanted out because he was pissed after all he has done they wont offer him best in the money world. Bob either signs that money or sees he cant and takes the same price from columbus.

Likely bob makes AT LOWEST 9.5 and no less then 7yrs

 

[BorntoLose]

guessing 8.5-9m max years could match CP if he wins a smythe or something crazy

 

[ijuka]

No, because Carey Price is very overpaid. I expect Bobrovsky to get a very good deal, though. Quite close to 10 million. And that will be a mistake. I don't think goalies should be paid that much.
