Dreger: Speculation that Panarin asking price is just over $12 million a season

[CupInSIX]

Dreger is a shill

wat

How is reporting on these (expected) high contract demands making him a shill. Dreger givin us the deets.

 

[Flukeshot]

Not a surprise. If unaccomplished RFAs are worth 10-11m than why not Panarin as a UFA at 12

 

[Ser Grogu]

Bread man wants to get paid.

 

[Dr Robot]

Hes 27, turning 28 in October. Hes been a PPG player essentially his entire time in the NHL. Hes done it on a stacked team and one that wasn't. How many more seasons do you believe he can remain PPG or atleast 70+? Id say 5 more years (32/33 years old) of probably elite or very high end play. How much is that worth against the cap?

Eventually there is a Point where it is not worth it.
Example Breadman=12Million.
I'd prefer Nyquist=5.5M; Haula 2.75M; Kadri=4.5M... I.e. This higher price for superstars, actually is pushing down salaries for 2nd liners. Id prefer 3 2nd line players. Or 2 over a star.

 

[NinjaKick]

Devils have $25 million in cap space... I'm all over Panarin if I'm Shero... even at $12 Million a year

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Starting high and negotiating to find middle ground is typical. I’m guessing he and whatever team he goes to meet around the $9-10 million AAV range. AAV of $10 million would be pretty fair considering what Skinner got.

Everyone knows it’s going to be Florida.

Why would he come down anytime soon? He sets the price and let the market play out. It takes one GM wanting to add an elite top line player and he has his money. He is going to end up around 11 million without a doubt.

 

[Revelation]

It's kind of amazing that this thread is presumably full of grown up people who never heard of negotiation before.

I guess Panarin is supposed to ask for 8 and wait for GMs out of the kindness of their hearts to offer him more

 

[Kurtz]

Exactly. People on this board have no issue tossing $12mil+ and 4 first-rounders at RFAs who are no better than him, but are shocked by his ask?

Weird.

 

[CBJx614]

I think he signs in Columbus for 8x11.

Panarin wants paid and that extra year goes a long way for him to get the money he wants. Every other team would have to pay 12.6M/season to match Columbus at 8x11

 

[mtnet]

Might get a baker's dozen

I love Bread, but these contracts are insane.

Dreger is a shill

Do you even know what that word means?

He actually had back to back career seasons on Columbus. He's a line driver and can help carry a team, he's worth far more than just his offensive output.

LOL he's not staying in Columbus. Start your mourning period now and get it over with. And he will get 11 million plus for those of you who think he signs for 10.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Why not? 11ish mill contracts are being thrown around so why wouldnt he ask that

My guess is 11mill x 7years

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

I'll tell you one thing, I bet his agent is fully behind this

 

[Taylorst]

And teams wonder why they struggle with fielding a competitive team, when you have irresponsible owners and GMs handing out contracts like this.

Sure he is a great player , but at 29 years old and hasn't helped neither Chicago nor Columbus win a cup should tell you everything about him.


Florida is going to screw up it's cap this off season with its frugal irresponsible spending.

Any team that could absorb his salary would be Colorado.

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

Not shocking. Of course he is going to ask high. Negotiations happen and he will get a bit less than that i think. I suspect somewhere around $10.75 - $11 mil per.

So you talk to Artemi then? Artemi doesn't even know where he's going but thanks for your .02

 

[Revelation]

What would I rather have?

A) Mitch Marner at 11 million

B) Panarin at 12 million plus 4 first rounders each of which can be as good as Mitch Marner

Most of HF would unironically prefer option A

 

[Langdon Alger]

Bread man

With that kind of money he will be able to buy a lot of bread.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Did Dreger make a bet with bookie on how much he could inflate the price of RFA’s or something?

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Why wouldn’t he start out at that l? It’s how a negation works.

 

[CBJx614]

With that kind of money he will be able to buy a lot of bread.

If he stays in Columbus he's get an unlimited supply of Vodka

Panarin offered free vodka for life to stay in Columbus

 

[fasterthanlight]

My asking price is also slightly over 12M per
