Speculation: Artemi Panarin seeking 6 years/$6M-plus per

[HawkeyFanatic]

Seems like a fair deal that I think the Hawks can find room to make work.

With the bonus overage/Scuderi retained coming off the cap + space this year for additional bonus, it would work.

Beyond that, the Hawks can trade Kruger (or expansion)

Would love to see him on the Habs.

 

[Shrimper]

They currently have $15m in space next season, if they signed him for $6m they would have to fill out 10 spots with $9m.

Would have to move one of Seabrook or Hossa to get a good team in.

 

[mashedpotato]

So this is what it's like to both love and hate a team...

 

[thesaadfather]

Where do I sign?

 

[BruinLVGA]

For 6m per, I don't think that they would have much thinking to do, just sign the guy.

 

[ForumNamePending]

Assuming his rookie year wasn't a fluke, and that's who he is as a player, he is selling himself on the cheap.

 

[BigRangy]

Yeah, take notes Johnny.

6x6 is a ludicrous underpayment for Panarin.

It says 6+ some probably closer to 6.5 than 6

 

[SEALBound]

Assuming his rookie year wasn't a fluke and that's who he is as a player he is selling himself on the cheap.

If he has a repeat year, he could easily ask for 7-7.5 ala Tarasanko.

 

[Teemu]

$6M is a bargain if he can come anywhere close to his season last year

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Better sign it now because if he has another season like he did last year and there is no reason to believe he won't then the price will only rise.

 

[seabass45]

That's bafflingly cheap. If that's all he wants, sign him and figure out the rest next offseason.

 

[gwh]

6 x 6 is low. Very good deal for the hawks.

 

[JustABlackhawksFan]

This is much lower than what Panarin is worth and is actually doable for the Hawks.

Stan would be completely stupid not to sign the man.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Yeah, take notes Johnny.

6x6 is a ludicrous underpayment for Panarin.

Johnny is more proven

 

[TheNewEra]

sens will gladly take seabrook or hossa to make this work

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Great deal, but how are they going to fit anyone making over $3 mil?

Maybe that Ribeiro rumor has legs after all.

 

[smackdaddy]

Yeah, take notes Johnny.

6x6 is a ludicrous underpayment for Panarin.

The guy is like 86 years old. Jhocks has him beat

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

Will be worth it if he has chemistry with Kane again.

 

[QuadDeuces]

That's it? That's insanely cheap.

 

[Roof Daddy]

Yeah, take notes Johnny.

6x6 is a ludicrous underpayment for Panarin.

You tell Johnny to take notes, then admit it's "ludicrous underpayment?"

Two areas where JG and AP differ:

1) Johnny is more proven (as mentioned by a previous poster), as well as the main offensive cog for the Flames (vs Panarin being more of a support player for the Hawks).

2) There is much more incentive for Panarin to take a paycut - play opposite Kane, play for a contender.

Johnny is the driver in Calgary. Panarin holds out and the Hawks are still a playoff team and contender. Johnny holds out, and the Flames are bottom 5.

 

[Captain Controversy]

It isn't too bad. If he is gonna help kane reach his potential, he is worth that.

 

[Patmac40]

6 deals? Damn, I know he's good but how's he going to play for 6 teams?

Really though, Chicago should take that and run.

 

[The Alien]

6 deals? That's rough. I like the confidence this kid has though, figures he's worth 6 guys making 6 mill each. You gotta hope he comes down one or two deals though.
