Hopefully the AAV is right, I hope he can continue the success he found in the latter part of last season.

 

[OnTheBrink]

Please be 3m max... 2.5/yr would be perfect.

I am guessing 2years 6.5 million

 

[PaPaDee]

I’m guessing $3.25M AAV

 

[BudBundy]

No more than 2.75 per, please.

 

[Mr Positive]

if it's true it takes him to UFA, then I'll guess it's lower. Something not much more than 2 million

Probably a good guess and not out of line I’m just hoping we can win 1 contract negotiation.

$3M plus the quarter million Chia sweetener sounds about right.

He was already making $3M last year, can’t see him going backwards.

 

[Aerrol]

I want 2.5, but am expecting 3.5. Hope I'm wrong.

2 years is a great term for us. AAV I am guessing is between 3-3.5M. Darnell Nurse, come on down and accept your bridge deal!

good point. How does that work? Aren't RFAs assured a certain amount of raise?

why would he stay at the same salary? lol

I'll say 2 years/6.75

He can sign for less. His qualifying offer had to be what he made last season though ($3M).

• The qualifying offer is calculated from the players base salary (NHL salary minus signing bonus), and at minimum must meet the seasons minimum salary requirements:
  • 110% of the base salary if the base salary is less than or equal to $660,000
  • 105% of the base salary if the base salary is greater than $660,000 or less than $1,000,000. However, this qualifying offer cannot exceed $1,000,000.
  • 100% of the base salary if the base salary is equal to or greater than $1,000,000.

He was qualified, meaning he could’ve signed 1 year for $3M I believe. So I can’t see him getting less than that.

Maroon > Strome
shouldve walked away

Happens quite a bit. Guys want the 2nd year of stability. Not sure if that's the case here or not.

because he sucks?

 

[Hugo McStiglitz]

$3.1M AAV

You may be right, but I can't recall a situation where a player who received a qualifying offer, subsequently signed a deal afterwards at a substantially lower AAV.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

nice...
no overpay at all IMO

 

[CycloneSweep]

3.1 aav is literally a tiny bit more than I was hoping.
I was expecting 25k more so it's fine

 

[PaPaDee]

A little less than I expected. Just Nurse left now?
