this really happened?

This

 

[UnleashRasmus]

I still see him signing around 7.5. Which is a realistic cap hit for his talent, age and ability. He's going to help the team in so many ways. He's got a lot of upside for our team going forward.

7.5M per year over a long term deal is going to be amazing. It would be an absolute bargain if the cap goes up ~2M per year every year.

Add in the notion of being front loaded as much as possible and it's really going to be a non issue.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

He signs 8 for 48 with the stipulation that Murray has to drunk dial Joe Sakic and leave an insulting message prior to the contract being announced.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

 

[Eichel]

I'm guessing 8 x 7.5. Can't see him settling for anything less

 

[Beerz]

yeah, boy

 

[jvirk]

This really shouldn't be too difficult of a deal to hammer out. The Buffalo front office knows what he's asking, they'll either give him it or something close to it...negotiations will hopefully be smooth and rather quick. It would be nice if he signs tomorrow

Are we sure that Murray wouldn't do that anyway?

 

[RockLobster]

yeah, boy

Can we hug it out now? *internet bro fist*

Buffalo--my new team in the East.

 

[1972]

He's just scratching the surface. He is a Patrice Berger on or Henrik Zetterberg calibre player. Love watching him.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

did sloan martin just say 7x7.5 is imminent?

 

[TossinSauce]

did sloan martin just say 7x7.5 is imminent?

McKenzie said the same.

 

[jvirk]

If it's 7x7.5 that's a great deal...I'd be very pleased with it. Both sides should be happy with that.

 

[Paxon]

I wouldn't classify it as great, but it's fair and expected.

 

[Moskau]

It's what 250k more than Ryan? I take RoR's corpse over Bobby Ryan.

 

[RoofIt5hole]

What's taking so long?! I thought they'd have ROR signed by now. They're ruining my Free Agent Frenzy day...

 

[haseoke39]

He's going to be the highest paid player in team history, no? 7.5 is higher than Vanek, might be higher than Hasek's AAV, too.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Hasek had a option picked up at 8 or 9 mil Im almost positive.

 

[Hipcheck13]

They are probably waiting for tomorrow or whenever O'Reilly gets in town, they also probably want to let Eichel be the story today.

 

[Mit Yarrum]

Did he really? I didn't follow contracts in the 90s. That surprises me. I know it was pre-cap, but still for the Sabres that must have been a truckload of money.

His salary was $8m for a few years.

 

[Mit Yarrum]

Must have been that good Adelphia money.

 

[El_Loco_Avs]

Hey guys, Avs fan coming in peace.
Wishing you guys and RoR all the best upcoming season.

Stopping by to tip you guys off to Ryan dad's twitter. It's hilariously vague psychology stuff. Some things that are tangentally related to what's going on with Ryan. Should be fun!
