McKenzie: Panthers favorite for Bobrovsky

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Pretty sure every NHL insider is saying the exact same thing.

 

[IceManCat]

Yeah sure man just bump it I'll gladly come back. Were you not around when bob had numerous games of letting in 6+ goals? His averages were putrid at the halfway mark. He's looking to land a big payday and live by the beach, something tells me his mindset isn't that he's going to win a cup in Florida. But who knows.

Name a goalie who never went through a bad stretch? Bob has a long track record at this point of being successful, a short stretch of bad games isn’t going to define who he is. Taking a small sample size to decide the much larger and contrary one is a pretty bad argument.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

finally get rid of Lu's massive deal and now sign a goalie at a ABSURDLY big deal... sure hes great, but hes gonna be 31 when season starts. If its a lower lengthed deal that's ok, but im gonna assume itll be 7 years

 

[Mickey Marner]

So, what are everyone's salary & term predictions? He wears 72, so I'll say 7 years x 7.72 AAV, 54.04 total value with full NMC.

Previous contract was 4 year 7.425, full NMC once he turned 27.

There's no way Bob signs for 7m AAV or Panarin signs below 10m AAV. Just no way.

People think Florida had no taxes at all. The no state tax does not lower it all that much. Panerin wants 12, he will het at least 11.5. Taking 1.5 less a season does is not balanced out by no state tax.

Once again I'll say it. If the AAV is 8mil and it's for 8 years you will be sorely dissapointed if you think he's going to be a beast into his mid 30s. Not saying it won't be good for a few years but we will see. Don't need to get so defensive lol

The way things are going I’d say 7/72M

If it’s for 8 years I’m rooting for your team to get him.

 

[IceManCat]

I do wonder if the newly drafted Spencer Knight plays any role in the Bob contract.

 

[CH25]

He's getting close to Carey Price money.

 

[Zirakzigil]

I’m glad he posted this. I was worried that Bob wasn’t going to Florida.

 

[MMC]

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

This was confirmed during Deadline Bob...

 

[Michoulicious]

The big thing is not Bob to Florida, which everybody expects...

Panarin to Long Island??? Would be frickin awesome, and kind of unexpected.

 

[IceManCat]

We should put all of this “speculation” talk into one thread especially when it all sounds the same again and again.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Meh. He’s going to get overpaid. And I still don’t think he’s a good goalie under playoff pressure. Best of luck to the Panthers.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Least well kept secret ever

 

[Avaholic29]

Not landing panarin with him makes it a little less appealing that's for sure

 

[Sticksandsun]

Nice but sucks no Panarin

 

[TheDoldrums]

I do find picking him that high in the draft to be a little weird if they're planning to give Bob a massive deal.

 

[Laus723]

Cool. We need Bob. Would still love Panarin, but I’m happy to hang onto Hoffman and chase Lee or Zuccarello, or who knows so long as we don’t overpay. Still need to fix the D, though.

That should be the focus now yeah

Zuccarello heading to Minny according to the rumors

You shouldn't expect him to be a legit starter for good 3-4 years atleast.

So that's a no to either.

I don’t give a rip what they do on O, that wasn’t the problem. Would be nice to chase those guys, pretty cool to stand pat, definitely need Bob and work on the D.
