Speculation: UFAs: where do they sign?

[Kyndig]

I'd be a little surprised if the Sabres don't sign Grabner given what Botterill has been saying about finding speedy wingers.

 

[67Blues]

Tavares to Vancouver for 14 million X 3 years
Carlson to Vancouver for 9 million X 3 years

Vancouver's trading Tanev
Vancouver's trading Baertschi

Why not?

No security for JT. A bit of risk because injuries happen.

He is NOT coming back to Montreal, but thanks for your input. Now moving on.

Yes he is. The parameters are set for him to re sign with Montreal. Have fun with that f***shit

lol too busy to party, and that is such a statement my 16 year old uses. oh wait are you skipping school again

So you say 'mommies basement' yet you are too superior to say 'you're fun at parties?

Ok, help me out here, but I thought 14 million per year (42 Million) gives him lots of security, and puts him back into the market before his value goes down.

At least that is why I "thought" I was over paying....maybe I am not?

Tyler Bozak DET
Ian Cole DET

Is the goal Jack Hughes?

Lets say he gets seriously hurt and either his overall game degrades or the injury is serious enough that he has to go on LTIR. If he signed for your deal, he'd pocket $42M. If he signed a 7x11, he'd pocket $77M.

Furthermre, let's say his productivity takes a rapid decline on his new team, then at the end of the 3 year deal, he may only be worth a $7M contract for 4 years, so his total would only be $60M and he's probably changed teams again.

Most players would opt for a longer term at less money. That is why you can go 8 years at less money than 7 years typically.

They're all going to Toronto

Thanks, I appreciate your thoughts.....and agree with your points.......just as a counter........what if we only wants to play a couple of years after that.......maybe the travel is grinding on him and his family.........I understand where you are coming from.........but maybe I make it 15 million per ...lol.............seriously, thanks for the mature response....I appreciate it

Well that cheapskate Melynk won’t do much we know that, he gonna start charging to use the urinal?

Start?

Haha well played, I would like the post but I can’t lol

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Would gladly flip him to BUF for Dahlin.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Wouldn't be surprised if Detroit tries for de Haan. His name has come up in Detroit trade rumors for a couple of years, and Ken Holland is not the type to sit out July 1st.

Ulf Dahlin, Rasmus Dahlin, Momma Dahlin, Papa Dahlin don’t matter....Hughes in four.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Haha well played, I would like the post but I can’t lol

 

[Yamazaki]

We have Price and Weber. How is he going to be the best player by a mile?

You’re not making a strong case.

Why would he ever want to play for a team managed by an incompetent GM?

So many better options and suitors out there. I think the habs need to be realistic, I can see them singing bozak.... now that’s a signing your GM would make.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

At least it wasn’t a lick

And a terrible team with terrible management. Maybe in 4-5 years when the nucks might be good.
