Yup, 1.5 and not for very long.

Give him Condra's contract and send Condra packing.

This guy gets it.

 

[DFC]

Not unreasonable to think we'll waive Condra next year. Lots of guys will be vying for that spot. Hard to think at least one of them won't outplay Condra considerably.

 

[Todd1a]

1.5 per year for 3 years ? Is that fair ?

It'll likely be two years, I think. Seems like the standard Yzerman grinder contract.

Yzerman paid Callahan 5.8 for 6 years to be a grinder ?

It's good to keep it a mystery make it hard for people to read you lol

Qft.

Give brown 2 million per year lock him up longer like 4 years.

Why would we waive him? He's not a plug, he can play in these league easily just not for us because we have cheaper options. I'm sure we can get a 4th for him.

True enough.

I wouldn't mind locking him for a couple extra years, but it has to be handled pretty delicately given the signings we have coming up.

I see no reason to go longer term. It's unlikely he's going to get a whole lot better than he is now. If he does, that's a bonus. But as much as I heart JT Brown, he could still regress rather than improve. If he were to lose a step, for instance, he'd be barely an NHLer.

I'd rather give him two years, then reassess.

They'll probably go two but we're talking about someone who'll be making less then 2mil or 1.5 so it's not going to hurt much. Instead of going 2 x 3 for 1.5 each go 3 x 4.2 for 1.4. He should be good next year but if he does regress we bury him and take a 475k hit, not much and he'll actually be good for Syracuse. Buyout would be cheap if it came to that.

How much will paquette get?

How much will paquette get?

similar think he started with less so will get less than brown but not bad will get a raise

 

[CarpeNoctem]

I freaking love this guy. He's one of the few who seems like he really wants it every game.

 

[RDTBay4]

I've been saying it for years, if this guy can learn to finish, he'll be a really solid player. Very happy he's finally finding the back of the net because he creates so many scoring chances for himself.

He's definitely reminding me of Cally, in some ways, but has some additional tools (more speed, for instance).

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Reminds me of Hagelin, but tougher.
