If EP gets 13M then you can throw the chances of resigning lindholm out the window.

Lindholm hasn’t been great this far, and the team was never going to resign him for anything close to his reported ask.

Vancouver's window is about to slam closed once this deal is signed

because they will lock up a 25 yr old 100+ pt Selke votes getting center?

Yes and the cap will never go up either. Window shut.

9 years ago the first 8 figure AAV contracts were signed. Last year was the first time a team won the cup with one

Would they want to? He looks as terrible as he was on cgy

 

[drede]

If it's for 8 years then he is definitely worth atleast 12

It was rumored that they had already offered 8x12.5 that he didn't accept little while back wonder if they offered more now

Lindholm has no confidence right now. Even he knows, he's not a $9M+ dollar forward. If he wants to win now, he may have to settle for 6.5M.

Why is everyone assuming it will be some super high inflated cap hit?

Pettersson has repeatedly stated it’s about winning, he may elect to put his money where his mouth is. I’m not suggesting that will be some massive discount, but I bet you in a year or two it will look like a good deal contract.

Players don't leave Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver. These three cities transcend Canada.

We'll see. I've seen it first hand with the Leafs, how much this team has struggled after overpaying players.

I have a feeling it'll be an overpayment if it went from they don't know when he'll sign to they're close on a deal in a matter of a few days

Lindholm had an opportunity to chase the money, he kind of blew it, and he isn’t doing himself any favours in Vancouver.

He wasn’t doing great in CGY, and now he isn’t doing great in Vancouver player with 100 point centers and Hughes, I don’t think teams will be lining up to throw big money at him. He might be in the “prove it” territory of contract having to take something short term, or something long term at a below market value, I would think.

That rumor was from Dave Pagnotta, who I'm more trustworthy as an insider then he is.

Struggling? The Leafs have been a legit contender every year since Matthews' rookie season, how exactly is that a bad thing again? You have to pay your stars, otherwise you have to be prepared to lose them - simple as that.

I'm on the team that an 8-figure/year salary should be reserved for generational players/cup-winning franchise players. So I'm hoping the 12m/year report is wrong, even though it wouldn't be crippling.

Leafs & Canucks are in a different boat.
Next season for 5 players: Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, John Tavares, Will Nylander, and Morgan Reilly = 54.15M.
Elias Petterson (@ 12M), JT Miller, Brock Boeser, Thatcher Demko, and Quinn Hughes = 39.5M.

That's a 14.65M difference that could go toward re-signing Filip Hronek, and possibly Elias Lindholm or a winger.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

So, what are we thinking? Between 11.5-12.5Mil a year for 8 years?

Toronto was the most top heavy team in the NHL with 3 players having 8 figure AAV's

they have 4 players with 8 figure AAV's next season

To be fair, that's how inflation works...

 

[Dust]

8x15 let's do it Vancouver!

In all seriousness though this will be a huge signing for Vancouver

Regular season success means nothing when you win a single playoff round in 7 years

Lindholm isn't good though. He should have taken his retirement contract with Calgary to be honest. He's Klingberg'd himself.

Miller and Hughes make 8 million and 7.850 million till 2026-27, respectively. As long as those are on the books, they still have a comfortable window. You are saving so much on those contracts it makes the overpayment on whatever Pettersson's deal worth it. This isn't a Toronto situation.

If Pettersson gets 12.5 mil the three core players will make 28.35 mil collectively. Which gives you plenty of flexibility.
