Leafs getting close on RFA deal with Panik

2 years 2-4 million sounds good with a max of 2 mil AAV

 

[MapleLife*]

Shouldn't be a difficult one to work out.

Not sure why they're spending time doing this when the draft is in 5 hours though...

 

[edwardslane]

he was solid for us this year.. proved he can be a solid 3rd liner capable of filling in 2nd line duty. He was a great waiver pick up imo. Curious what kinda term and money we sign him for.

 

[LV*]

Good.

Hoping to see him on the second or third line if we trade Kessel.

 

[Schenn]

Yay I liked the guys this past season.

Yeah, this really shouldn't be a major issue that needs to be worked on before the draft.

The expectation is that Richard Panik's signature will be on a contract extension with the #leafs by the end of draft weekend.

 

[Loosie]

Good to hear. Was great for us considering he was a waiver wire pickup.

 

[slozo]

Yeah, this really shouldn't be a major issue that needs to be worked on before the draft.

Guaranteed it's not Shanahan or Hunter or even Dubas working on this.

 

[TimeZone]

At least we did something.

 

[PuckMagi]

I'm happy to have him for under $2mil. Ideally, something between $1 and $1.5.

He was great on the 4th line. He didn't play nearly as well when he was moved up in the line up. I'd rather keep him on the 4th line and hope he continues to get goals with limited ice time.

 

[Cor]

This is likely Brad Prindholm working on the contract.

 

[Smif]

Pridham has nothing else to do.

Fearing an offer sheet for Panik.

All kinds of meetings about contracts like this will take place this weekend because agents and executives are all physically in the same place.

 

[Leafidelity]

Good to hear.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

He's a good project to have - the price was certainly right

cause they aint doing **** at the draft , all they gonna do is pick the 1st round they know the 2 player's they are picking allready and they won't make any trades

 

[7even]

Nice. Fun player to watch.

 

[mcleex]

I like the combination of grit & skill he brought. Also liked him on a line with Kadri

Disagree, he is wasted and pointless on the 4th line, need to get him more top 6 time next year, lock him into a 2 year / 1.5M and he could even be something you flip.

See what type of player he actually is, Tampa wasnt able to find out with him being a fringe/4th line guy - leafs need to test the waters.

 

[LeafsNation149]

1.5x2 is what I'd say

 

[TheInsignia]

Good to hear. Excellent pick up through waivers.

 

[colchar]

Yeah, this really shouldn't be a major issue that needs to be worked on before the draft.

Because having him signed clarifies at least one move they won't have to make?
