Rumor: Panthers interested in trading for Bobrovsky, deal would include Brassard

[Sensmileletsgo]

Luongo goes to Ottawa because his salary is actually peanuts compared to his cap hit. He can play out his few more years as a backup and Ottawa ownership is thrilled.

Reimer goes to Columbus to back up Korpisalo

Florida picks up one of Phily's castoffs to back up Bob.

Does he have a NMC?

 

[lilfedor]

Oh boy I hope so. 8 years and likely 7-8 million a year (or more) would be an egregiously bad contract.

He’s making that now. He wants a raise. I think 9.25 is the minimum start for bob.

 

[Taluss]

Wow I wouldn't do 8, I'd go for 6.

 

[Merc29]

I know Pittsburgh and Columbus are in the same division, but boy oh boy these two teams could seriously cut middle man costs if they just talked to each other directly

 

[goal1228]

seems like they want to get that 8 year deal, which could turn out pretty disastrous

 

[goal1228]

Brooks is a tool. Luongo still has 3 years left on his contract. No way Bob goes there

 

[BakerMayfield]

I think it should be like max 5 years x 7.5

Hes probaly staying in columbus if thats the case. He wants 6+ years and 8+ mil at a minimum

No way huh? Well, I guess that settles it lmao

He's 39 and the last 3 years of his contract are worth about $3m total. He'll probably retire before that contract is over.

 

[CupInSIX]

Wow I wouldn't do 8, I'd go for 6.

6 years would mean a higher AAV. 8 years would get him closer to 6.5m AAV.

Would you go to Ottawa or Columbus over Florida if you had a NTC? Would florida pay Bob top dollar and Luongo over 4 million to its cap a year to backup. It does not make any sense imo

He will probably retire after next season. If the Panthers get Bob, I would think they will trade/buy out Reimer, and go with a Bob/Lou (no pun intended) tandem, and try to get Luongo to the dance one last time. I think Luongo can be an elite backup, if he plays around 30 games.

It does if you knew the Luongo situation, or that the Panthers can have up to $30+ million to go after Bob, and whoever else they want to (Panarin).

They aren’t paying Luongo 4 million a tear anymore. He’s making 3.38 this year and 1.6 next year.

Lol....over 13 million in cap tied up in goal tending.....great plan!

mmmmmmm.....vancouver cap recapture.

I want to see the world burn.

Will only be for maybe 1 year...plus Luongo's actual salary is much less.

 

[achdumeingute]

cap hit is still 5mish

It's weird (being a Leafs fan) and seeing actual salary instead of cap hit being the important thing....

 

[Spartachat]

He will become of the new Carey Price at 8 years.

Who cares? Ownership will operate at cap ceiling...and it will only be extremely short term on that high of a % towards goaltending.

 

[goal1228]

Is that how any over 35 contract works? Im asking because im not sure. I thought it goes against the cap no matter what

 

[Jozay]

Florida would be dumb to do this.
