The most reliable guy on HFOIL has this to say today.

Ready for some news

Looks like something is getting done. The guy is NEVER wrong. Take a look as his post history.

My guess is $8*8

[Namtsua]

I'm going with 7.25 AAV for 8 years

 

[Deplorable Lenny]

I'm going with 7.25 AAV for 8 years

That would make my Wednesday thats for sure. I already have buddies from Calgary texting me telling me that Drai is asking for $10/m because of some bozo on the Fan960

 

[Canucks LB]

9.25m for 8

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Oh it's that guy again

8.9M x 8yrs

 

[King Mapes]

I'm going with 7.25 AAV for 8 years

I'm thinking slightly more, maybe 8-8.5, But who knows.

 

[Oberyn]

6 years at $8.25 AAV

EDIT: I meant to put 8 years not 6

 

[NeutralFan88]

Anything under 8 will be great.

 

[CupofOil]

6 years at $8.25 AAV

If it's only 6 years, I can't see it being 8M+. I'll guess 8x8 which would be fair, not good not bad.

 

[Mr Positive]

9.25m for 8

that seems high but honestly nothing would surprise me at this point

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Traded to the Flames!!!

 

[Deplorable Lenny]

6 years at $8.25 AAV

Ouch that would suck. If its 6 years, it is closer to $7 IMO.

That would mean that the team is only buying 1 UFA year so I can't see it being that high for only 6 years.

 

[SenzZen]

6 years at $8.25 AAV

2 years too short, or $2M AAV too much

Unless you actually meant $8.25...

 

[NeutralFan88]

I wouldn't mind six years at a lower cap hit. A lot of things can happen in six years.

 

[hockeykicker]

Lol that guy again haha

 

[McRobbiezyg]

under 7.5 for 8 years or less for less years

 

[Roof Daddy]

The Tarasenko deal methinks.

8yrs x 7.5

Same agent (as well as Gaudreau), same level of posturing, same eventual cave to the team's preference.

 

[hockeykicker]

Traded to the Flames!!!

Yea maybe he means a trade. Didn't think of that

 

[Hockeyholic]

9.25m for 8

That's wayyyyyyy too much.

 

[Deplorable Lenny]

Yea maybe he means a trade. Didn't think of that

Not a lot of teams can afford him that also have the assets to give up. I would say that the odds are nil that its a trade.

That would sure liven this place up though.
