Proposal: Panarin's RFA rights for Victor Rask

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I... did not just see Rask AND Faulk at 50% retained proposed for Panarin..... did I?

I know the 'Canes are the most irrelevant franchise in the league and many have no clue about anything regarding the team, but for the love of ****ing god that's insulting.

And then doubled down and tried to defend it.

Annual 50+ pt center

Fair enough. The "+" makes it hard to know exactly what that means. I see 55-60+ point potential in him for various reasons, but not worth arguing about.

Finally someone else said it and Hawks fans are still ignoring it.

This is what several people here don't seem to get. Filing for arbitration means no offer sheets and it also means 1% chance of Hawks being able to pay the awarded contract. All team would need to do is wait for Panarin to hit UFA and just give him a 7 year contract for his prime years. Although I'm pretty sure someone will give them a 1st for the rights, but it's pretty much guaranteed he's not going to return as much as an offer sheet would.

Wait for Panarin to become a UFA while another team trades for his rights and signs him?

If the Hawks shop Panarin there will be multiple suitors. He'll go for more than Saad.
