[Goulet17]

It's Dater, so you know, skepticism may be healthy.

He's going to get it as well. He won his cup and now he's earned his pay day after being significantly underpaid for the majority of his last contract.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

MacKinnon seeking an Avalanche of money in his next deal.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

So Much for him saying a while back that he would take a pay cut to help Colorado stay within cap and build and balanced team

 

[Forge]

Go get it, young man.

 

[Foppberg]

Oh.. Dater? Incoming 8x6M extension in that case.

 

[CraigsList]

So $12,500,001 x 8

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Not surprising but I thought earlier he was talking about taking a discount to help the team.

 

[TheNumber4]

How the hell would Dater have a source on something like this? He got an inside line on MacKinnons spouse or something?

 

[Boeser Fan]

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Rightfully so.

 

[randywoodsghost]

Not going to argue with this one.

Timing is on Nate’s side.

 

[TheBigFour]

13 X 8

I remembered that and thought that 11.5-12 would be the discount.

 

[GM Armchair]

Worth every penny. Blank cheque.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

He's got a Cup and he was underpaid on his last contract.

He's going to want to get paid and no one should fault him for that. His teammates certainly wouldn't.

 

[centipede2233]

Gif they make mackinnon the highest paid player, there cup window Closes. Learn from the Chicago and LA mistakes

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

A flat cap hometown discount could be a post-flat cap bargain for a player that was grossly underpaid on his last contract.

The Avs would feel pain, but it would just be very short-term.

 

[Bounces R Way]

But he'll be turning 30 at some point so that will automatically make him overpaid

[Asinine]

A few years ago he said he would take another discount but after winning a cup this year and taking some advice from one of the great ones, Adrian Dater, I found a quote from him:

"Maybe...maybe, you know, just **** it. I'll just go in next year and be the highest paid player."

 

[TheGreenTBer]

It works like this on HF:

- prior to their draft, they're too young to accurately assess
- the moment they're drafted, they're total shit because they're not proven yet, but the fans of the team that drafted the prospect think he's the greatest player of all time
- once they're young and established in the NHL, the clock is ticking on the years of team control so they're not worth as much in a trade as a 14-year old that can do fancy hockey tricks on social media
- once they're on their 2nd contract they're going to eventually be a UFA so they suck
- once they're on their 3rd contract they're old as shit so they doubly suck
- if they're 35+ they should honestly be dead and buried because they don't deserve to play over a prospect that can't even cut it in the AHL

Been there done that. He was underpaid and led his team to a cup. Now it's time to get paid

He did already win a cup. There are plenty of greats that didn't over their career. Might as well pad his bank account now.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Bullshit. Obviously he's going to want to get paid, but "seeking to be the NHL's highest paid player"? Lol

If MacKinnon cares more about money than the big picture, then I'll throw my hands up in the air and admit I didn't see that coming.

EDIT: Apparently Dater has no facts. Don't spend your money.

 

[HanSolo]

I almost shit myself when I saw Dater featured on Unrivaled like, after everything, the dude still has any credibility.

Anyway good for Mack if he gets the fattest bag.
