Reno Sucks!
Minus Dean being a liar and trading him
I was gonna say that maybe he meant Jack's 2nd deal, then I realized it was 2 years at 1.425M, and their is no way that happens. I was thinking Jack got 2.5-3 per for 2 years.
Rumor: Voynov Close to Re-Signing

When I read that quote (made in March), I didn't think he was "close to resigning" at all. Jesus, that's two months ago.
I think the thread title needs to be changed.

Voynov has been great but is still learning and what's gonna hurt his value is the year Subban had so I honestly expect a 5/$22.5 mill contract 4.5 mill per maybe 4.75 at most

I don't believe the rules have changed in the new CBA. It's still 27 or 7 years in the NHL. Voynov is only 23 (January birthday), he has at least 3 more RFA years. I believe that he can sign a 3 year contract and will still be an RFA at the end of the contract, he would be 26 and 6 years in the NHL at the end of the contract.
I hope he signs a subban type deal. Where it doesn't pay a lot now but is short term to allow for a big pay day in a couple of years.
If "close to resigning" means before July, then well, great.
I think they like what they see in Slava and don't want to mess around with a "bridge" contract of 2 years. I'm think more along the lines of a 4-6 yr deal in the 4-4.5 range. Guess we'll find out in less than a month.

VV has 4 more seasons as an RFA - 2013-14, 14-15, 15-16, 16-17. Based on turning 27 on 1-15-2017 and having had completed his 7th NHL season.

nfw - that's a massive overpayment
I agree it will likely be similar to Jack's contract, probably a little less. 7 yrs/$30M maybe.

Yah, the precedent has been set under Lombardi. Nobody is really breaking the bank, reasonable deals and he locks up their prime years. 7/30 seems right on the money, so to speak.

dialed in your mom
Lots of speculation about VV's signing here. Lots of interesting numbers too.
We will see how it shakes out in a few short weeks.

agreed. "close to re-signing" is usually used as imminent. There's nothing close about this re-signing. Lombardi is just saying he's going ot attack this hard, just like he did with Doughty. And we all know how that turned out.
I never heard anything about agreement on any numbers.

yes, hoping for about 8 years at 5 mil per, with a no trade clause
Isn't that more of a Lubo-type deal?
it is similar to lubo's deal, though i think lubo's deal was shorter than 8 years and maybe had a higher salary, so, maybe not, but feel free to share your info,
and regarding the lubo trade which got the kings stoll and green, wow, what a great trade that was for the kings, one of dean's best for sure,
