Yeah so he's had a $12M per year offer on the table since the start of the season according to pundits... so he waited 5 months and then took less. Sounds about right.Yeah that’s a damn good deal.
He’s accomplished more in the NHL than he has, so yeah he’ll make moreNot apples to apples and he took a discount but there’s no reason Rantanen should make more than petey
The 1 year of RFA remaining is likely what drove that down below 12M.
Probably something like:
Year 1: $9M
Year 2-8: $12M
That would be an $11.625M cap hit.

Paying for past accomplishments is a good way to get into cap hellHe’s accomplished more in the NHL than he has, so yeah he’ll make more
Never said I would do it, but he will earn more than EP40 on his next dealPaying for past accomplishments is a good way to get into cap hell
Everyone else here seems to think Ritchie is the second coming of McDavid, so maybe they’re interested in a prospect heavy trade. I’d be all for trading Byram for the right guy, I just don’t think the Avs will.And how do you think we get Zegras without moving Byram....
Good job, that's 100% what everyone is suggesting.Everyone else here seems to think Ritchie is the second coming of McDavid, so maybe they’re interested in a prospect heavy trade. I’d be all for trading Byram for the right guy, I just don’t think the Avs will.
If it’s along with another bigger move or two I am fine with it. He’s a better Nieto.That's why I kinda want to see it happen.
11.6 is super good value imo.
That's the magic of UFA. The lesser player going forward will make more.Never said I would do it, but he will earn more than EP40 on his next deal
This is one of the more inaccurate, idiotic takes I've seen on this board in a while!Everyone else here seems to think Ritchie is the second coming of McDavid, so maybe they’re interested in a prospect heavy trade. I’d be all for trading Byram for the right guy, I just don’t think the Avs will.
It's hyperbole. Pretty easily spotted tooThis is one of the more inaccurate, idiotic takes I've seen on this board in a while!
Yeah, he is much more like Crosby.This is one of the more inaccurate, idiotic takes I've seen on this board in a while!
Not that I really care but nhl front office people get it wrong more then they do right. And since I don’t have a clue who you are and you haven’t to my knowledge revealed anything. Your opinion sucks just as bad as the rest of usGive me your list then sir!
Haha I’m sorry, I thought that my 13 years of NHL front office experience allowed me to have my own opinion on this sport.
Thank you for proving me otherwise!
11.6 is super good value imo.
This won't affect anything. Mikko has shown in the past he's willing to negotiate for the highest dollar figure possible.Hopefully this means Mikko takes less too. This is actually good for us.
I don't exactly remember who or what the situation was, but it was during the lawsuit the ex-players had against the NHL towards concussions. Do you remember that? It happened like 7-11 years ago, and the court released 10 to 20,000 emails to the public records, and Bob was pretty much telling Campbell how to do his job. McKenzie was acting like a straight-up lobbyist.I don't recall that. Which players was he talking about?
I don't know about that... are you sure that Connor Bleackley is enough evidence to Michell Heard that information?Not that I really care but nhl front office people get it wrong more then they do right. And since I don’t have a clue who you are and you haven’t to my knowledge revealed anything. Your opinion sucks just as bad as the rest of us
