Speculation: 2022 UFA class extension watch

[HockeyVirus]

It would be insane to see what Barkov could get in the open market but I see no way in hell he moves. Panthers are a very good team and the location is not too shabby along with the tax breaks he gets . Bergeron is the one of the bunch that is for sure not going anywhere . Unless something catastrophic happens he will retire a Bruin .

Just like Chara.

 

[go4hockey]

Is it Hertl or Meier that has an insane QO?

I think that’s Meier.

 

[Peat]

Yeah, Meier's got an insane QO.

My bold prediction is that one of Ryan Strome or Vincent Trocheck will be a Cane by next offseason, based on whichever one is willing to take a contender's contract. IMO, Trocheck either takes the hometown discount to stick around in Carolina, somewhere around a 5x5.5M, or gets regally overpaid in UFA. For some reason, I suspect that Pittsburgh or Vegas could give him the Kevin Hayes pact.

Assuming Malkin reups, which seems borderline nailed on, I don't think we've got the roster spot or cap to do that with Trocheck.

Think Geno will want to separate himself from Sid and prove he can win without him. Malkin will join Panarin on a short team deal with Rangers

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Where did you hear the deal in place?

im a Florida fan but I haven’t heard a deal was in place: I think Zito is hinting though

It was reported on here a few weeks ago, That a deal is near and will probably be announced sometime next month possibly before training camp.

 

[Mr Positive]

It's a bit surprising that some of these haven't extended already.

I could see this happening

 

[Patty Ice]

I have no idea

About the only correct thing in that entire post.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

About the only correct thing in that entire post.

Seems unnecessary

 

[glenbuis]

Both PK Subban and Patrice Bergeron signs with Montreal.

Subban to finish his career with the team who drafted him, and to replace the man he was traded for.
Bergeron to play with Quebec's team and mentoring Suzuki and Kotkaniemi.

Both at league minimum obviously


(plz)

pretty safe to say bergeron will retire a bruin .

 

[Dr Quincy]

Just like Chara.

Not really. Chara had been on 2 other teams before Boston. He was 29 when he signed in Boston.

Totally different than a 18 year old kid, who doesn't speak any English, joining a team, playing their for 17 years, raising your family there and being the heart of the team

 

[Grampy Bone]

Barkov will look great in bruins jersey. 7x11.5

 

[saintunspecified]

Ryan Pulock - Leafs 3 years 5.5 per

If Ryan Pulock would have signed for 6MAAV for UFA years (much less 5.5M), he'd already be on a longer extension with NYI. He's going to cost between 6.5 and 8MAAV on an extension. I believe NYI will make him their number #1 priority. They didn't have the salary cap room to buy his UFA years before, but they are on track.

 

[alasania94]

Next year could be interesting as a number of the UFA's are at the age where they need to take a pay cut if they want to play with a contending team. Guys like Giroux, Subban, Pavelski. On the list above, I would be shocked if the following didn't re-sign with their existing teams: Malkin, Letang, Bergeron, Barkov, Brown, Coutourier. The rest are all ones that could easily test free agency.

Evgeni Malkin - extension at current rate
Marc-André Fleury - retires
Patrice Bergeron - 2 or 3 year extension at current rate
Aleksander Barkov - long term, 9-10 M per year
Colton Parayko - long term, $9M at least, unless his injury related issues persist.
Sean Couturier - long term (5 years?), 8M per year
John Klingberg - long term 8-9M per year.​

9 MILLION FOR PARAYKO???

 

[ManofSteel55]

9 MILLION FOR PARAYKO???

Jones, Werenski, Nurse, Hamilton all got over 9. Parayko had a bad year but considering yearly inflation, an expected bounce back, and his all around effectiveness all over the ice, 9M isn't unrealistic at all.

I'd also say all of those guys are better AND younger than parayko... 7.5 tops - he's 29 next season

 

[Big Empty]

I’d want Vatrano and Klingberg

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

would love Barkov but thats obviously never gonna happen lol

give me Letang or Klingberg

 

[LeapOnOver]

Isles gonna get Forsberg at the deadline this year...

 

[End of Line]

I think that’s Meier.

Thx couldn’t remember

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Evgeni Malkin - Re-signs 3x9M
P.K. Subban - LOL
Claude Giroux - Enters Free Agency
Kris Letang - Re-signs to 5x8M
Marc-André Fleury - Retires
Joe Pavelski - Enter Free Agency
Patrice Bergeron - Re-signs 1x8M
Johnny Gaudreau - Enters Free Agency
Alexander Radulov - Enters Free Agency
Filip Forsberg - Enters Free Agency
Aleksander Barkov - Resigns in FLA 7x10.5M
Dustin Brown - Re-signs in LA 1x3M
Tomas Hertl - Enters Free Agency
Colton Parayko - Re-Signs in St. Louis 7x9.25M
Mika Zibanejad - Enters Free Agency
Ryan Pulock - Re-signs 7x7.5M
Morgan Reilly - Enters Free Agency
Vinny Trocheck - Re-Signs 4x5M
Sean Couturier - Re-Signs 7x8M
John Klingberg - Re-Signs 6x8.5M



Malkin is the toughest one to read IMO. I ultimately have him signing back with the Pens but I would not be surprised to see them cut ties and opt to spend that money elsewhere with him.

 

[kerrabria]

I’d want Vatrano and Klingberg

Why? Doesn't Montreal have an endless supply of third line caliber scoring wingers?

 

[SnS]

It's a bit surprising that some of these haven't extended already.

From the flyers standpoint, there’s been no news about G but apparently Couts has said something along the lines of “let’s see how it goes”

 

[Goal Caufield50]

Subban to finish his career with the team who drafted him, and to replace the man he was traded for.
