[Sensung]

What is the offer from the Sens to EK that you are comfortable with the Sens walking from the negotiations, if rejected by the Karlsson camp?

It would have to be stupid. You don't walk away from Karlsson over a million dollars.

11 for me.....Now i can understand EK wanting more,he is worth more as a UFA....But at 11 and with the team resigning all of their other top end talent before and the owner actually spending.....I can live with it

 

[Deku]

Anything over McDavid

Anything over McDavid

That's a good point. I change my vote to 12-12.9

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

I went with the 12-12.9 range because I wouldn't squabble over a mil but would be okay with them walking away from anything over 11 too. I'd prefer it to land around 10 or 11 and think that is a fair deal for both sides.

Some people seem hell bent and almost offended at the idea of Karlsson not getting his max worth, but I would be ecstatic about getting him on a discount and would very much prefer that to just handing him 12 or 13 straight away.

 

[Emerica]

Anything above 12.5

 

[18Hossa]

Whatever it takes, sign him.

 

[Agent Zub]

McDavid is the cap. It would be stupid to squabble over a million dollars when it comes to a talent like Karlsson.

McDavid is the cap. It would be stupid to squabble over a million dollars when it comes to a talent like Karlsson.

McDavid's contract is half RFA years though. Not quite apples to apples. If he was UFA, I'd guess he'd be on a larger contract.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

It's not my money and we aren't a cap team, which will likely be near $80M next year if not the one after.

So with that in mind I went with anything $13M and over. Anything under that is fine even if one would hope he'd go with something around $10-11M which is very, very team friendly.

I think Erik Karlsson can be re-signed for $10.5M to $11.5M, just a gut feeling based on his love for his adopted home town.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

no higher than 12

 

[mysens]

Anything higher than 11.5 and he can go somewhere else.

 

[NyQuil]

I had 10 million as my number over 8 years.

8 years is a lot of time.

Is 11 million that much different? I guess not, but neither is 12 million, or 13 million, so I'm not really sure where to draw the line.

I guess I could probably take 11 million.

I agree as well

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

Seems to be a lot of suggestions, that would result in almost the doubling of his current AVV.

Just wondering, how many impending UFAs received an extension that pretty much doubled their current AVV?

The fact that he is underpaid on his current deal is completely irrelevant to his upcoming deal.

But irrelevant is what you do best...

 

[slamigo]

I can see something like this getting it done:

80M over 8 years
12, 12, 11, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sens will not go over 12 mil .. No way no how. They will give Karlsson a good offer but they will draw the line.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

which is fair. these people saying retain him at all costs are out to lunch

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

I don't think they'll go over 11 Million, over 8 years.

They should also offer a full NMC, and make it retroactive, to cover the final year on his current contract.

They could also make his new contract "lockout/strike proof" by structuring the bonus payments to cover the season that a possible lockout of strike may be possible.

 

[slamigo]

PD should make the offer details public. Then if EK walks, it's not a mystery as to whether the Sens offered A,B,C etc like the Turris situation.

 

[tony d]

Option 5. Even then I'd have to think long and hard about walking away from Karlsson.

 

[Zorf]

Anything higher than 11.5 and he can go somewhere else.

Well, here it is, folks. The owner has spoken. $11.5M per year is the official max the Sens will offer.
