Skinner

Bobrovsky

When he comes back to earth Florida will be paying ten mill for a backup

With the way contracts are going that could be the going rate by then?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

it's almost definitely not going to be an RFA contract. Marner's definitely looks ugly now but it should age better considering he's entering his prime now

 

[jetsforever]

I'm tempted by Bobrovsky, but Florida desperately needed a goalie and it's hard to pull one of thin air
Voted Skinner then

Kevin Hayes

 

[JaegerDice]

Weren't Kevin Hayes and Tyler Myers signed this summer?

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

How is Sissons a bad contract lol, it’s a steal for a solid 3rd Line Center.

 

[LOFIN]

Tanev no doubt.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Weren't Kevin Hayes and Tyler Myers signed this summer?

yes, all of them were signed summer 2019

 

[ccman68]

Myers

 

[Soundgarden]

How is Sissons a bad contract lol, it’s a steal for a solid 3rd Line Center.

Yeah, for what he brings he's definitely not overpaid and isn't close to worst contract of the summer.

 

[LarKing]

I’d vote for Hayes if he were an option. Don’t know how he isn’t there when there are several good signings up there.

 

[pabst blue ribbon]

Most of the contracts listed here are a lot better than the Myers contract

 

[devbouz12]

Hayes

 

[Bedards Dad]

Hayes, but voted skinner

 

[Diamonddog01]

Myers

It's toss up between Bob and Myers for me. As a Canucks fan I'm far more pissed about the Myers contract so ultimately went with that.

 

[Breakers]

8 figure AAV goaltenders.

Easy choice.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Kevin Hayes by A LOT

 

[slimbob8]

I can understand how people think the Marner contract is too much money which is why he's getting a lot of votes here. I feel that way as well. He shouldn't have gotten that much money, but I can live with it because the kid is a superstar and you gotta hang on to those guys when you get them. But are people actually considering that a worse contract than the Kevin Hayes contract? That's beyond absurd. Overpaid or not, Marner's still a 22 year old 94 point scorer. Hayes is a 27 year old that has exactly one season in his career with 50+ points locked up for 7x7.1M. Marner's contract isn't even remotely close to that disaster of a contract.

 

[Morgs]

It's gotta be Bob, paying 10M for a goalie over 7 years sounds nuts. Paying 10Mx7 for a 31 year old goalie that's coming off his worst season in 3 years is insanity. Hope he does well, but holyyyy is that an easy choice.

Marner, Tanev, Trouba, Hayes, and Myers are all very bad contracts too.

 

[themelkman]

Donskois isnt great for a third liner, but probably could pan to be fine. Hayes is just awful

 

[Snippit]

Hayes or Bob, followed by Skinner

Love Skinner but I don't think he's worth 9M right now, let alone 5-6 years from now.

I'd still rather have him at that contract as opposed to letting him walk though.

 

[BHD]

Tanev. I can see why teams like the Panthers and the Predators overpaid for Bobrovsky and Duchene, respectfully. However, there is no reason to even slightly overpay a, what, 4th liner (maybe a 3rd liner on a good day) for 6(!) years. Now, the Pens might have to part with Bjugstad or Rust (both decent players) to fix their cap situation. This is AFTER Rutherford signed Johnson last summer and Hunwick (since traded) the summer before that.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Bobrovsky, Skinner or Hayes...which one...
