This is my nightmare. Are we really going to sign a 30 year old goalie to an 8 year contract who has a save % below 900.
Bob's agent is located in New York I'm pretty sure
How this Rags beat reporter knows anything about what's going on between Ohio and Florida?
What would be Florida's plan with Luongo and Reimer then?
Woof that's going to be an expensive goalie tandem
FLA is very likely to flip Brass, and there were rumors flying that CBJ wanted Brass from Pitt. Thing is though, why trade for a rental Brassard and also trade your starting goalie? If they move Bob and/or Panarin, it's because they don't plan to compete this post season and want to build to the future. A rental doesn't help that unless they have a deal in place in advance.
Probably ate something bad for breakfast, but thought it could be relevant. Kind of like when we alert each other of scratches on games just before the deadline.Maybe he is injuted, maybe he needs to pee... Doesn't he have a modified NTC?
Does Bob get the Price contract?
I think it should be like max 5 years x 7.5Oh boy I hope so. 8 years and likely 7-8 million a year (or more) would be an egregiously bad contract.
I'd also add that I believe Jarmo said that if they trade any of the UFA guys like Panarin or Bob that they would be also looking for help for the team still. Brassard would be a low-risk-high-reward asset for the Jackets.CBJ probably realizes Korpisalo is giving them just as good of goaltending as Bobrovsky is anyway.
Brassard will help them up the middle, is someone they'd be able to re-sign, and then I would assume you'll get a 1st rounder, which is a lottery pick, and then whatever else. Plus, CBJ could take Reimer from FLA to be their backup, and get another extra pick to do so.
So from Columbus' stand point, they have a guy who can be their starting goalie, and they can trade their other goalie who is walking in a few months, get some futures, and get players that can help them now as well.
Panarin to me, is the one they trade if they don't think they can make a deep run.
I'm of the belief Florida should just wait until Free Agency, so I don't get why they'd do this now and give up good assets. Trade Brassard for picks. Maybe trade a guy like Pysyk, and then on July 1, you know both Panarin and Bob are going to be there, so offer them both 7 year deals.
Nah on his way to becoming the next Mike SillingerBob's agent is located in New York I'm pretty sure
