Trying the change the conversation a little bit? Of course nothing will overshadow the Kane talk.

 

[ClydeLee]

Well Seabs admitted they have had talks right?

 

[Illinihockey]

I'll guess 6 years $39 mil

 

[Hawkaholic]

5yrs 33mil

Have to admit I'm not a fan. Wouldn't mind signing him for like 2-3 years, but long term? Makes me nervous.

Yes, I realize there's essentially no way he would take a short term deal when he could get a long term somewhere else.

Distraction!

Overrated and I have a feeling the terms and dollars will be awful.

Terrible move. No reason to do this now. NONE!

 

[BobbyJet]

3 years is plenty long enough. I'm certain that Seabs will want a longer term.

A voice of reason. Overall he is a slightly above average, and thats slightly, who has a game and body type that screams decline. This is an awful move.

This, compared with the R and K deals are potentially crippling. This sucks.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Love this just so we can see zac melt down and then watch Seabs play great when the games matter and for zac to disappear when that happens.

Slightly above average....LOL

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

It'll be too long. Let's hope it's not for too much.

 

[BrianE]

2 or 3 years would be fine, anything longer not a fan of but oh well without Seabs we would not have won last 2 Cups for sure.

I hope it's 8x8 so I can watch this board implode.

do you hate the hawks? I'm as big a fan of huge meltdowns as anyone, but good god, the team would be in ruins if they sign seabrook 8x8.

Don't worry, we have the next Bobby Orr signed for $1 mil over the next two years.

 

[Idionym]

6x6 would be my hope. Although something like 5x7 or something wouldn't be terrible either. Just hope it doesn't get stupid like 8x8 or something.

 

[madgoat33]

I'd like something like 6-6.5 for 2-3, but obviously that's not realistic.

6-6.5 sounds about max considering his age. Only question is years.

unfortunately, I'm guessing 5 or 6.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Random speculation but I can see them announcing this tonight and holding a presser tomorrow

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Seabs AAV is already higher than Keith, should his extension go even higher than that? I understand Keith's contract is all time value but I don't think Seabs should be 1-1.5 mil more per year than Keith. 6 mil per for 5 years max.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Yeah, and at the press conference they will ask Seabs about Kane.............

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Keith AAV is misleading. His real salary was (maybe still is) 8M per, I believe.
