Stone should def. be offered 8-9M/year for 8 years, and be the Captain - Why didn't they slap the C on him after the Karlsson trade?
He's ufa. Nobody should be named a captain with only one year to go.Stone should def. be offered 8-9M/year for 8 years, and be the Captain - Why didn't they slap the C on him after the Karlsson trade?
Can we really expect them to be offered the appropriate contracts? Seems thats just as much up in the air as them wanting to stay.If Duchene and Stone keep playing the way they been and the young guys also be contributing, I don't see them leaving at all if the offered appropriate contracts.
Beginning of the end.
Both will stay and a new owner will emerge I hope
Apparently Brisson (Duchene's agent) and Dorion are in discussions to see what the options are.
8 years
8 million AAV
6 million base salary, 2 million signing bonus
10 team no trade list, modified NMC
That's what I'm expecting. If I'm Duchene, I want a full NMC for at least the first half of the deal to prevent the team from flipping me once I am more valuable signed (since we're rebuilding). Maybe we see that happen.
This negotiation is going to be very telling about the state of our team if Duchene wants to stay, has a market value ask, and we are unable to keep him.
I would be on board for this type of deal. We have the cap space and will have it for the foreseeable future.8 years

8 x 8 is too much for this player. Either the term or dollars need to come down.
8M x 6 or 7M x 8.

Unfortunately for this type of negotiation the player has you over the barrel. Either give him what he wants or he goes to market, and you know how that will turn out for this team, remember the "outgunned" comments?
This is the first time I've seen him state it so emphatically. Huh. Maybe there is hope yet. Highly dependent on what he's offered, obviously, but it's a good first step.
Stone stays Duchene goes imo
