Confirmed with Link: 6 year extension for Kaiden Guhle (5.5m AAV)

[shamrun]

Kent might be really good with the contracts.

Kaiden is promising. But he has to learn to protect himself or play a type of game to minimize his exposure after playing the puck. The way he gets thrown around reminds me of josh gorges.

Suzuki, Caufield, Guhle, Slaf: almost 29 million of cap.

Anderson, Gallagher, Armia, Dvorak: almost 20 million of cap.

f***ing brutal contracts from MB.

For 10 years we were subjected to incompetence that Molson allowed.

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

Great!! now we can finally play him as a LD and let him dominate, 5D chess again lol

 

[Andy]

Basically Guhle got what Subban should have gotten after his ELC.

 

[Wats]

I like how he didn't give 8 years. The concerns with staying healthy are built into the contract. With all the other contracts it paints a picture of what the window to win is.

Is it funny how little we see/hear of Molson since he fired Bergevin. He used to be right up there.

 

[HuGo boss]

Wow steal of a deal

To be fair to Bergie, He signed Suzuki. Kent has done great work to keep that has our highest contract. Who breaks the Suzuki ceiling some day, Demidov or maybe Reinbacher in a rising cap world. Reinbacher is 3 yrs from an extension. Demidov 3-4 yrs depending on when he comes over I guess

 

[Frenchy]

Another great contract by Hughes. I'm starting to think that he has dirt on every agents arround the league.

 

[Tyson]

This GM thinks years ahead...the guy has a clue. So damn refreshing to have competent management

 

[donghabs98]

The entire young core seems to be buying into the internal cap Hughes and his team are implementing. Management groups consistently talk about team cultures, this is how you implement a culture. Very well done by our management team!

It's funny because this is a key reason why the Leafs are in such a cap bind. They weren't able to get their young core to buy into an internal cap which has limited their ability to build an effective core. It was vital to avoid that situation here.

I’m more pissed that he gave up a first for Dvorak.

To clarify, I meant more pissed about the first than Dvoraks salary. Of course I’m pissed about Gally and Anderson contracts.

 

[sampollock]

Love it
this young guy is going to be a solid piece back there, just needs to learn to keep his head up more.

Judging by the Nurse contract he got Edmonton to sign, he probably has dirt on some GMs too

Very Bruins like which is absolutely outstanding for our franchise. Everything is coming along beautifully

Not matching KK was smart, proceeding to waste the picks on Dvorak is what ruined it.

 

[sampollock]

KH is a stud at the contract business. Mr Molson you should get the Molson Cup for getting KH and Jeff G for our top brass

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I don’t understand why we didn’t just bridge him for 2.875 million…

Well, for one, their players had a lot more potential for extremely high earnings than ours and the truth is the NHLPA is going to keep a close look to the contract negotiations of a guy like Matthews. He's a bar-setter. We don't have that issue here.

But yes, the instant they signed Tavares their better guys weren't going to take less. They'd have been crazy to.

It would greatly help him accomplish this if he played his natural side. Playing your offside literally creates all the issues your mentioning. It put it more on deployment

It's hard for other agents to use any dirty tricks when the guy you are negotiating with knows all about the agent playbook.​

Oh totally. I could not believe people were mad that he didn’t match that. Carolina threw away millions just to be petty. I’m not big on blaming management for ruining development either. Sure, an organization can mishandle things, but KK should shoulder a lot of the blame. You’re either an nhler or you’re not. He didn’t seem to use the change of scenery to get much better at all. Now, I DO blame management for the pick in the first place of course.

 

[Wats]

I don’t understand why we didn’t just bridge him for 2.875 million…

To be honest, the bridging never bothered me. It's when you add the doing nothing with the cap savings is when you realize it was all done with no plan.

With KH, you can see a pattern and direction. Pretty refreshing after that decade.

 

[sampollock]

great signing . get the core young guys locked up for good deals
smart KH
