Player Discussion Johan Larsson

[dotcommunism]

QO is based on previous year's salary. They only get the 10% bump if it's under $660K and a 5% bump if it's under a million per.

The 10% bump is gone after this year as the minimum salary is $700k for the 2019-20 season.

 

[Gabrielor]

He made it through the deadline.

Re-sign this man. DO IT NOW.

 

[Sabreality]

so our crack media asked about re-signing Simmonds...but nothing about Larry & Girgs (unless I missed it)

 

[Gras]

I'd give Girgs and Larry matching 3yr deals

Line 4 has been working so well. Let's keep that going.

Can't understand why people think these guys are expendable just because they haven't produced the offence expected of them earlier in their careers.

If the line combines for 60+ points I'd call it pretty successful

They have 51 already. More likely than not that they get to 60.

Thought that was JT Compher in the middle for a second.

I would like them to get started on an extension right now. Get someone who is part of a working line re-signed to something reasonable and not create an even bigger hole going forward, show some pro-active steps. Don't be conventional, please.

Matching 3y $8m deals for Gus & Larry, $1m+ raise & would still just be 29 & 30 for their next Roussel/Beagle type deals.

Larry is the priority for sure, but this should've been done last summer, as we know.

I’m totally on board with that.

I could get behind that. I know the conventional wisdom will be that this year was somehow atypical - I await PHam's quest to jettison both grinding back into motion now that he's returned from his time away. There is a cross-section of the fanbase that hate them both and will not like it. And that shouldn't matter a freaking jott. They are good at what they do. Keep what works, scrap what doesn't. Stop scrapping the parts that work.

Larry is going to cost 50-100% more than Girgs

Why would they take less than Roussel/Beagle when they are younger and better?

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

I would offer Larsson 3/10.

Girgs 2 x 2.75

I value Larsson over Girgs.

 

[Jame]

I'm being dead serious when I say I would offer Larsson a deal, today, that he absolutely cannot refuse.

4-5 years / 4-5 million per

Losing him is catastrophic, it makes the offseason virtually unwinnable.

Winning contract negotiations is not an option.

 

[HaNotsri]

About a year ago it seemed like Larsson was insecure if he'd even get a one way contract in the league (based on comments to swedish media). He should probably see his value now or at least his agent will.

There was a pretty good opportunity for a long term deal with very low cap hit.

2 years ago, I wanted to do a 6 year deal at 3.5 per.... and was told I was a loon...

That would leave 4 x 3.5 remaining.... which would be perfect right now

oh well...

:sighs: was just an example man, Roussel/Beagles mid 20 contracts were $2m & $1.75 and they were similar players as Girgs/Larry and this would align with raises for LG in a similar situation. You know players often get overpaid as they near 30 on those last deals. Just projecting a little, still not sure how these guys are valued around the league and what they'd be willing to turn down.

If you wanna overpay them a bit more sure, I have no problem with paying Larry more.

:sigh: just trying to help here....

Roussel's 4 x 2.0 contract was when he was RFA... so it is simply not comparable

Beagle's 3 x 1.75 was in 2015... why would that contract be more relevant than the contract he signed in 2018?

 

[Aladyyn]

You can make a pretty good case he's been our 3rd best forward this season.

It's inarguable that he's been at least our 4th best forward.

Olofsson PP goals is hard to dismiss

4 mil per for 5 years.

Done
