Dreger: Landeskog and Avs not close

[TMLisSRYinGerman]

It was between those two in my mind. But still it would be horrendous.

What? Can I have your glassball? Seems like you know how Landeskog will be playing in 3 years.

 

[57special]

Some media sources in Denver are now saying that Landeskog did reject a 7x7 proposal from Colorado during the negotiations. I am not sure that I buy that, but hopefully Colorado is prepared to move on if true.

If true, then I agree that the Avs need to move on. That is a fair contract.

 

[NewEraGM]

If I’m the habs , I offer 7x7 happily. Cap will be up on the back half of this contract. Tons of cap space now. Fills leadership void left by Weber, and also in need of LW

Apparently he already rejected this offer from Colorado, so I doubt he’d sign it in Montreal.

I think avalanche and landeskog would already have a deal if 7x7 is all it took.

 

[Nihiliste]

If he thinks 8m long term is a discount, then going luck to whoever signs him

I fully expect Landeskog to leave after signing a 7 year deal worth an AAV of 10-11/year, and for the team that signs him to regret it within 3 years

 

[Oblivion Beckons]

The only GM who would even consider giving him that is Dubas.

Any team that gives him $10m-$11m per on a long-term deal, deserves the eventual cap hell it will lead to.

And it could be Lou

 

[Sasso09]

No team is going to be close if he's really demanding 8-9

No team is giving him 8 let alone 11

 

[WaW]

If it's true that Landeskog rejected a 7x7 offer, that's the ultimate "I told you so" moment for those of us who weren't buying these narratives:

1. "He's worth like 5.5-6.5 x 5"
2. "He'll take a discount to keep the core together because he's in the special like 1% of NHLers who don't care about money and just want a cup"

Assuming this means that he is in fact leaving, I'm interested to see what he gets on the open market, where as expected there are more desperate teams willing to pay more than than Colorado is.

 

[Sasso09]

Heard of

Landeskog Matthews Nylander
Robertson Tavares Hyman
Foligno Kerfoot Coleman
Engvall Spezza Simmonds

Yes please!

Heard of the cap?

Pretty sure he can get 8 from someone on a 7 year deal. Would be a dumb contract but someone (probably mutiple teams even) is bound to offer it.

The only team that could give him 10m+ is Seattle if they make him their first captain and face of the franchise. Not sure if another team would go over 9m for him. 9-11 is probably Seattle only territory atleast if we are talking about 7+ years.

If Hyman is getting 6 I can definitely see Landeskog getting 8.

 

[JoemAvs]

I mean thats a dumb contract as well. Danault and Hyman are the two guys in UFA I want no part of. They will be bad. Landy if he gets 8m on a 7 year deal fits right into a category with them.

Contracts you dish out in UFA that you will regret pretty quickly.

 

[goonybird]

Devils could give him his money pretty comfortably and even weather his inevitable regression pretty well

We have to remember the UFA deals Bobrovsky, Neal, Lucic, Ladd, Erikson.....

You see where I'm going with this. On UFA day GM's F*** up the most.

Hope Landeskog can pull through. Poor guy.

man really hard to understand how we are going to get worse.. make this make sense Joe..

 

[Jeff Whelbourn]

I wonder what grubauers numbers are

And that gabe caves and takes 7x7

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I wonder what grubauers numbers are

I’d say Grubauer is asking 6x6 and Sakic is probably offering 5x5.

You can see Marner not there right?
