I hope so. I fully expect it to be similar to Schenn's in the way that he will leave money on the table for more term. Since he would easily get 9-10 million on the open market I am going to guess 8x8.5.

 

[CupInSIX]

Anything under 9mx8 is a big win for the Blues.

Hopefully he takes an 8x8 'discount' to keep the band together.

But but but, he's got best friends on Toronto's team!!!

8 years, the next 4ish will be fun, the years after this team will be a different type of fun.

Petro will have a statue, never want to see him play in another jersey.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Prediction: $75 million / 8 years.

 

[Merrrlin]

I'm guessing 8x8. He strikes me as someone who would give a bargain.

I thought once the season started a player who is a RFA/UFA next summer couldn't sign till Jan 1.

 

[Willy Stylez]

9.75M x 8.

Schenn signed 3 days ago.

You're thinking of players who re-up for just 1 season. Anyone else can negotiate and sign on July 1st in the final year of their contract.

Think that only applies to a player who signed a new 1 year contract that summer.

Thanks, I knew I heard somewhere before that some players couldn't sign till Jan 1, that makes sense

NO, Canadian players do not want to play in Canada. JT was the exception, not the rule. Well, other than when they get old and even then it's rare.

These "going to Toronto" chirps stopped being effective in a post-Tavares world, also I don't even know where this is coming from. Anyway, great news for the Blues.

 

[TheGoldenGod]

8 x 8.25

Meh. The only person who has said this was bob mckenzie.

Who repeatedly has brought pie to the leafs up as a possibility since the start of the year.

Who knows why he thought that.

You could have stopped with Bob McKenzie and everyone would have figured out the rest automatically

Generally he has pretty good insight? But he’s not perfect so who knows

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

8x8 itll be

 

[Stealth JD]

My guess: $9.375M x 8 years

RIP all the teams whose plan to overhaul their defense was " just sign Pietrangelo"
