They should probably try to get Bourque. Given Dallas C/RW situation he doesn't have a lot of persepctives on the team anyway, and Flyers need centers badly.

The poster said on 7 years. So 9.5 on 7 years would most likely be in the 4 1st round pick range, even with the compensation going up for this year. I can't see the compensation going up that much to where it wouldn't be 4 first round picks. 9.5 x 7= 66. 66/5 =13.3
If over 5 years, you have to calculate the total cap / by 5 years.

You do not understand the rules. If a team offers a seven year deal, the total to be paid over seven years is divided by five years, which increases the AAV. The deal as proposed would require Boston to surrender four unprotected first round picks.

I know this is in jest, but I can’t imagine them not getting 8 year deals this summer.

They're going to get paid and there will probably be direction given to the new GM to get those two done fast.

Army still has another year left before Steen takes over in the official GM role, but he’ll still be here as POHO for another 3 years after that.

Teams with good proscouts should be going for these as much as possible. Too bad the Avs dont have picks..
Imma be a party pooper.
I think agents want offer sheets and agents know journalists.
I bet every single ownership group said “make sure this doesn’t happen to us.” - and the teams who maybe have risk may have plans to mitigate it.
I wonder if there are good potential targets on no tax teams who are pursued by taxed teams.
They’re ones where the player may sign and go, get a good opportunity, or if retained, then has a bigger aav - perhaps much higher (not just from opportunity but also the higher taxation in the offerer’s area that drives the aav up) than otherwise would have received in the no tax area. No tax teams rfas may have a similar incentive to ufas, just contorted to incentivize them signing because it’s a lot of potential upside. I didn’t see a lot of targets on the no tax teams but guess I’ll go look after writing this.

If they're worried about an internal cap when they're still flirting with the cap floor, then they might as well fold the team now, or just admit that their plan is to operate as a farm team for the rest of the league.
But considering they apparently made bigger offers for Stamkos and Marchessault than they were ultimately signed for, I suspect the idea that they'd let McTavish go on an offer sheet because of an internal cap is just wishful thinking. Even if they had a budget, that's not one of the guys they let go, especially with the way he's broken out here in the 2nd half of the season. And not when they can easily dump a few veterans on expiring contracts to pay for it.

The currently 23 year old Bowen Byram is not, in fact. A UFA in one year.
You are right about the first part... but you are very likely wrong about the 2nd... the compensation thresholds have not been set for 2025 yet, they are going to increase and when they do that proposed 7 year deal would most likely fall into the 2nd highest tier of 2 Firsts, a Second and a Third as that compensation threshold should increase to over 12m
You might want to do just a little research before you start making false stereotypical statements, as none of the last 8 NHL players to sign offer sheets were Americans. They were all selfish Canadians or Europeans.
Marc Bergevin is Canadian too.

David Backes was the last American to sign an offer sheet - back in 2008. Yup, Americans are selfishly driving this phenomenon that was incorporated into the CBA for the players by the players. But probably just the selfish American ones.Ryan Kesler signed an offer sheet, thus all American's are trash
Fun fact, the first NHL player to sign an offer sheet was Gary Nylund in 1986. He is Canadian.

One of the previous caveats to being eligible to partake in an offer sheet was signing a bridge deal. Most players didn't accrue enough games to be eligible directly off of their elc. The lack of Americans is explained entirely by there not being many good American players before the modern era and never taking discounts on bridge deals to begin with.
Please just stop replying. The only person you're making look bad is yourself.
let's be for real, these players arent signing for just 3 years . lol.
Leafs aren’t paying Knies 9M without the pressure of an OS. A 3 year deal leaves Knies with a AO of 9M. Signing long term is dumb for young players now that the cap is rising.
