Value of: Sergi Bobvrosky next contract.

[seabass45]

I don't think anyone gets above Price for awhile. I hope not at least.

 

[Stuzchuk]

who's that Sergi Bobvrosky

I would say yes, he's one of top GL in the league... top-5 for sure, so he'll get paid accordingly

Pending how things turn out with our 3 prospects, I'd sign Bob to an 8 year contract since that's what it will take to snag him, give him $11 mil for the first 4 years and then down to like 6,5,4,4. $7.85 cap hit, even that is still too high IMO for a goalie but if Bob has another strong year I think he is worth it.

Not sure if Bob gets $80 mil/8 year contract even UFA from any team.

Bob will be 31 at the start of that deal, I don't think CBJ go for 8 years, especially since there's no way they're getting him at a 400k raise. I think a team tries to offer him a 5 year, high average deal.

 

[Rockmorton]

That's why this thread exists, because I'm not sure Bob wants to stay if Panarin leaves, and if you put him on Calgary or Buffalo or Philadelphia those teams become contenders especially Calgary and Philadelphia, Buffalo would depend on if they can find #2 center and keep or replace Skinner

If he wants 10-11 mil, then I think he prices himself out of Calgary. They have a strict internal cap structure that I don’t see them abandoning for a goaltender.

 

[um]

If Columbus loses Panarin, which it looks like they will, I think they'll get desperate to keep Bobrovsky. 8 x 10 is my guess.

 

[Jackets16]

Columbus has a very nice defense but Carolina might just have the best defense in hockey. I’m very high on Nutivaara tho and the Jackets have 5 dmen who are at least ~average, and Kukan could join them soon. But the canes have 6 really really good dmen.

I'd say Columbus has a few guys who are better than average.

I think whatever happens with Panarin, they'll be desperate to keep Bob. When you have an elite goalie, you simply don't let that go.

 

[pb1300]

I dont know if Florida would be in the mix, because of what Luongo decides to do, and whether or not we can move Reimer.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

I'd say Columbus has a few guys who are better than average.

Of course, Jones is a Star Werenski is a 1 and Nutivaara is pretty good. Murray and Savard are pretty average 2nd pair guys.

That's true. Don't want to become like Carolina or Calgary.

 

[TheKingPin]

If he walks and would do a short deal the flyers could prob do something like 2 years for 24 million.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

I'd love Bobrovsky on the Flames, but realistically I don't see how we'd be a fit salary wise unfortunately.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

10.000M, 6 years. GM’s don’t like signing players at a high cap past the age of 35. Most teams will be pulling for 4-5 years but one team desperate for a goalie will offer an additional year.

I doubt it. Our front office doesn't do things out of desperation. We also have 4 good, young goaltenders. They have been drafting like they expect Bobrovsky to not be back.

Goalie prospects can be tricky no matter how good they look like. A proven, reliable starting goalie is something teams often spend several years to find.

 

[Zirakzigil]

I wouldn’t pay him any more than he’s already making. He’s yet to prove he can be a great goalie in the playoffs and he’s already one of the highest paid goalies. Don’t see the grounds for him making more. Even a contract in the likes of 8x8 will be an anchor sooner rather then later.

 

[Viqsi]

Goalie prospects can be tricky no matter how good they look like. A proven, reliable starting goalie is something teams often spend several years to find.

The problem is that right now the team is rich in really good looking goaltending prospects (Korpisalo, Merzlikins, Vehvilainen, Tarasov), and so a lot of Jackets fans are getting antsy about Bob's playoff numbers and wanting to roll the dice.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Wouldn't mind Bob in Motown 7x10 with Bob and a decent D Detroit's back in the thick of the playoff's

 

[Sota Popinski]

If he wants 10-11 mil, then I think he prices himself out of Calgary. They have a strict internal cap structure that I don’t see them abandoning for a goaltender.

It would be one thing to stick with some rigid cap structure plan if you were having success, but Calgary has made the playoffs, what, once in the past five years?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Columbus will likely give him stupid money to stay, otherwise I see him signing with a young contending team like Buffalo.

 

[HOPE]

My guess is 9.5AVV

Twice. Not that is something to brag about, but the Flames are as deep as they have been in a while now. Smith is a wild card I'll admit that... If he stays healthy we should make the playoffs.

Bob would be nice to have but I hope the Flames get a young Starter or One of our own young guys step in as starters.

 

[ManofSteel55]

He might get around 9. Depends on what happens this year though. If he gets hurt or plays poorly (the latter I don't expect), then the demand for him may go down substantially.

 

[GoldiFox]

After Scott Darling and Peter Mrazek crash and burn this year I'd bet the Canes get pretty desperate with their $20+ million in Cap space. Although I doubt that Bobrovsky will be too interested in heading to Carolina unless it is 99% about $$ - which Canes owner Tom Dundon would have to approve and spend (questionable).

I agree he might not be willing to go from one small market to another to be in roughly the same spot.. However he would put them over the top I think. Defense is stacked with Bob behind them good luck.

If Svechnikov panes out in this scenario they are very very scary.
