News: Offer sheet compensation is set for 2019 off-season

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Keep in mind, the total contract is divided by 5 if it's a 6 or 7 year deal when it comes to determining what picks are required.

As an Oilers fan I'd happily offersheet one of Kapanen/Johnsson/Labanc or someone like that for only a 2nd rounder.

 

[Mickey Marner]

But what is the Cap ceiling? They can't possibly set RFA compensation tiers before they set the cap limits.

AKA Marner compensation.

Only in your wet dreams.

Not a wet dream for me at all. Detroit's picks are too high to make it worth while. Colorado is the obvious choice.

You think its smart to over pay a player while giving up 4 unprotected firsts. Well having to sign Rantanen? They're very comparable players so I'm sure he'd want the same money. It would be catastrophic for that team to do that. Lucky for them you're not their GM. Marner is the least likely of any of the Leafs to sign a offer sheet and anyone who doesn't see that is not capable of a critical thought.

4 1st for Marner or they match

But that wouldn't quite be as stupid as signing a UFA to an $11M/year contract when you've got Nylander, Matthews, and Marner all coming up, right?

Hmm...

4 1sts level for Marner or Marner doesn't sign the offer sheet.

 

[TOGuy14]

4.2M might get some action on those good but haven’t fully blossomed players like Kapanen

Almost like giving John Tavares a massive contract before your star center hits RFA. Or possibly allowing Nylander to hold out a couple months but paying him for the full season at a pretty high tag the season before your better player in the same position hits RFA?

If you really think signing Tavares was stupid that says more about yourself then anything else lol.

I didn't say it was stupid at all. The poster I was replying to said it would be stupid for Colorado to offer sheet Marner with Rantanen coming up. I made a comparison indicating that Dubas must have also been stupid by this logic.

The fact that you couldn't grasp that very simple concept says more about yourself than anything else.

But then again, Colorado will have a much more difficult time paying Marner than the Leafs, considering MacKinnon makes less than Nylander.

 

[Dan Kelly]

Yup, Kapanen and Johansson should be targets for the Oilers and a number of teams!

None of that has anything to do with Colorado signing Marner to an offer sheet or anything to do with what I said. It is completely irrelevant. And even if you think those things were stupid none of them cost 4 unprotected 1st. Thus if you think they were mistakes I guess you're agreeing with my post and you'd be beyond stupid to sign Marner to one.

>1% chance he signs an offer sheet and about the same he even sees one.

Four unprotected 1sts would be a good argument for most teams. Which is why most teams with cap space wouldn't do it.

... Colorado + Marner is a virtual guarantee to pick 25 or lower all four of those picks.

I just don’t think Dubas is a great GM. My post was directed at someone saying how it would be stupid for Colorado to pay Marner like that when Rantanen who he said was a fairly similar player would be wanting that type of money as well.

I think the Nylander contract was handled poorly. I don’t think the Tavares signing was dumb, although given the circumstances and the construction of the team, it may have not been the smartest decision in the world.

Why on earth would he sign an offer sheet with Colorodo? Even if they offer him more money his endorsements would dry up completely in Toronto and would make less overall. He would be moving away from the area he spent his entire life growing. Leaving all his friends and family. It makes no sense by any accord. He is probably the least logical player out of all RFAs to be targeted or to sign an offer sheet. Kapanen or Johansson make tonnes of sense and is very plausible. Marner none.

Fair enough. I'm a Leaf fan and think he did a poor job as well with both the RFA signing so far. Tavares I'm happy with.

Weren't endorsements and coming back home supposed to entice Stamkos out of Tampa?

Some people care, some people don't.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

I would offer sheet both Johnson and Kapanen at 4.1 mill each.

Is that possible since we have 2 seconds, or not, because only team picks count and you cant have more than 1 Habs pick per round?

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

You're happy with 1 goal Tavares when it counts most?

Also if you guys do lose Marner to an OS, you will like JT less and less, unless you find another Marner caliber player to play with him.
