It means it didn't happen

 

[RSchmitz]

He can get his 10M equivalent here for 9-9.5M

Exactly, we're offering him the Guentzel contract if he gets to free agency.

Sabres are morons if they don't meet his demands.

Probably means they're working on it though. Which is a good sign.

Kinda like how US-Iran is working on a deal.

9 AAV isn’t getting it done for tuch think 11-12 AAV

I think he may end up higher but not 11-12 from us

Usually if Friedman says something it happens

 

[RSchmitz]

Usually if Friedman says something it happens

I am sure that the rumor happened

It's pretty common to have deals in place without it immediately being announced publicly. It wouldn't be a surprise at all if something was already agreed to w Raddysh.

Doesn’t the league ask teams to hold off on transactions until after the final is over?

‘Never had more positive feedback’: Inside MLB’s race to beat 7 p.m.

MLB teams are increasingly moving weekday first pitches before 7 p.m., turning start time into a business decision tied to attendance, fan experience and family-friendly scheduling. The trend reflects how clubs are balancing changing fan habits.

www.sportsbusinessjournal.com

“When we moved our start time to 6:40 p.m., I’ve never had more positive feedback on anything from our season-ticket holders,” John Weber, the Phillies’ senior vice president of ticket operations and a 25-year club executive, told Sports Business Journal. “I couldn’t imagine playing a game at 7:05 right now.”

I personally like a slightly earlier start time.

 

[Felonious Python]

Yes. Or if not possible, at least try to avoid days when there's a game.

 

[RSchmitz]

The only way we are signing Raddysh is if it’s some ridiculously team friendly deal. The kind of deal where hfboards is shrieking in horror about taxes afterwards. I don’t know why Raddysh would do it, but I’m sure it’s possible, but realistically, he’s gone

 

[JTBF81]

Very possible that the framework of the Raddysh deal is done, and they're just waiting to finalize everything. If JBB decided to offer max term in the 7-7 5 aav range, that gives Raddysh a very nice 56-60 million to stay in Tampa. That, or take 60-65 to go play in Toronto, where he'll have no privacy and get hounded mercilessly when he doesn't replicate this season. Oh, and the winters and taxes are great up there I hear. If JBB has offered anything close to the above aav and term, can't imagine he leaves.

Not sure. Smaller stuff seems to come in. If Friedman's reporting it, he's probably pretty confident SOMETHING happened. They might be taking their time hammering out the details.

I think the only way we let Raddysh walk is if he's asking for top tier money. I just don't see JBB letting a RHD walking over 8m and then offering Tuch 10+.

I mean, especially when he and Moser went together peanut butter and jelly. We don't need *ANOTHER* winger so bad it's worth creating the hole Raddysh leaves behind

I can definitely see JBB walking away from Raddysh if he asks for anything more than what Moser got.

You're probably right about Tuch and 10+, but I can absolutely see JBB offering Tuch 7x9.5. If a team isn't out there dropping their pants to sign him it could be enough to beat out most offers.

 

[J Roc Baby]

Is Tuch gonna play center?

We have to figure out how to score in the playoffs again

 

[OGPete]

Why settle for a Leader's rookie card, when you can have the Supreme Leaders rookie card, though? Amirite?

 

[RSchmitz]

Is Tuch gonna play center?

I don't think we can do anything about our center situation, aside from praying that Point's injury has healed and SOR is a Calder caliber 3C out of camp.

 

[Todd1a]

Is Tuch gonna play center?

No but sign him and raddy

 

[CupsOverCash]

Getting something done with raddysh makes sense for both sides. Found his game and Tampa got a player on the back end who can do a lot. Why change things up?

 

[Major4Boarding]

So according to NHL Network Florida threw their hat in the ring with a standing offer for Larkin

Allegedly…
