Rumor: Panarin unwilling to re-sign?

[Crede777]

If there's no news, he's definitely leaving. If there's a contract, it will be for too much or too long, if there's any two words in a sentence that can be taken out of context, they will be.

If there's no news, I'm pretty sure some people are going to full on panic.

 

[major major]

I will get excited at some point early tomorrow when I remember about the meeting in France. I will think there is a x % chance we actually get good news. I will open up Porty's twitter and probably be upset.

If there's a contract, it will be for too much or too long

If there's a contract. I will hit the damned ceiling and cry with joy. Sometime later in the summer I might look at the price tag.

I think the max that a player can make is 20% of the team's cap, correct?

Is Chelyabinsk part of Siberia? I almost called Bob and Artemi "Our Siberians" the other day, and then I realized I don't know if Chelyabinsk is typically included in Siberia. It's east of the Urals but close enough to them.

Technically it's on the border of Urals and Siberia, but no one will refer to you as a siberian if you're from Chelyabinsk, so yeah it's Urals. I think American jokes about midwest are similar to people in Urals.

Can you really go too much and too long for a player like him? 8 years and 9 million is a no brainer IMO. Kucherov probably set a benchmark comparable since he has more of a history with 3 30 goal seasons and 1 1oo point season under his belt.

Well that would be far too much to pay one player, but I will be happy even if I think it costs too much.

Kucherov gave Tampa a big discount.

20% of the salary cap is in the ballpark of 15 million I believe.

Kucherov gave Tampa a big discount.

He's still the 3rd highest paid RW in the NHL for the 19-20 season as it stand now. Only Patrick Kane and Ovechkin have higher cap hits. Capfriendly has nobody listed at LW with a cap hit higher than 9.5 (Ovechkin and Jamie Benn)

We know Panarin's potential but both of those players have a stronger body of work. Sure you could go to 10 on him and I wouldn't be mad but people who play C seem to be the ones that make the huge bucks.

That being said, if he hit the open market, somebody would probably pay 11 for him.

Yeah it's somewhere around there.

I guarantee there will be no news tomorrow. Other than the meeting starts and ends and "it went well. We had a good discussion." or something of the sort. Jarmo and Milstein may decline comment. We'll see. But I bet nothing significant comes out to the media tomorrow.

For sure - even if there is some kind of breakthrough it will take a lot longer than one meeting to iron out the details, and they'll stay tight-lipped about it. And there is probably no breakthrough.

Jarmo Kekalainen will meet with winger Artemi Panarin and agent Dan Milstein Monday in France as the three discuss Panarin’s reluctance — so far — to discuss a long-term contract extension with the Blue Jackets.

Panarin is on vacation in Nice, France, with teammate Sergei Bobrovsky.

It’s not known whether Kekalainen, Columbus’ general manager, will meet with Bobrovsky as well.

The Jackets have made known they are willing to sign Panarin — who led the team with 27 goals and 82 points last season — to the NHL-maximum eight seasons. Panarin could make as much as $11 million per season on a new deal.

In June, it came out that Panarin had rebuffed Columbus’ first offer, telling the Jackets he wasn’t willing to negotiate a long-term contract with the team “at this time.”

It’s believed the Jackets offered $9 million per season initially.

Does George Richards know his stuff? Where is he getting this stuff about an initial offer?

He’s our former best writer that now covers the jackets. He knows his stuff and doesn’t post flimsy rumors.

George Richards > Portzline.

He’s credible. Beeeeleeeee dat.

Well JR is not in synch with his agent it seems.

Look at it this way, I don’t even know what they’re going to offer. I’ve read some comments that this is the agent’s work, that we’re holding out to get the most money out of them, but it isn’t. I think they’d give him 11 million dollars if he really wanted it. But I haven’t even discussed anything with them. I’ve seen reports of $9 million to $10 million.

Richards>Milstein>Porty.....

I think the Jackets can go as high as 11 mill and not screw up the cap in the near term. I don't think they will have to if he is willing to sign with them. My guess would be 10 million. Hopefully it comes down to $. That can be achieved.

I kind of expect it will take $11 million or even more.

FWIW, I do think he will re-sign.

 

[MAHJ71]

Well....

 

[CBJx614]

I don't know how to feel about it

 

[KJ Dangler]

 

[MAHJ71]

And on this drags..

 

[CalBuckeyeRob]

Sounds like he isn't making any demand. That seems to be a strong sign that price doesn't matter. If true, he is probably on the way out.
