Player Discussion David Pastrnak XIII -Report, Extension to be announced Today!

[DKH]

I am getting sick of these negotiations and thankfully Marchand is as well

I’m Pastrnak agent JP Barry I take Marchand’s comments directed at me

Pastrnak can’t be on video saying to Ty Anderson ‘it’s not about money - I don’t play for money….yada yada’ and his guy in a hard cap is going for every penny

Be more like Isaiah Thomas when with Celtics he said ‘they need to back the brinks truck up’

Enough of this shit

Who works for who here- I’m the player I call my agent and tell him I want this done in 24 hours- enough dicking around

Also, he gets $12 M I’m on team I’m a little irked. I wouldn’t say it but hockey only real sport with a hard cap and Marchand correct you give a large chunk to someone else - you will suffer other areas

No GM in any sport is even close to perfect - so the Mike Reilly stuff is pure dumb ass conmenrary

Last year I heard the experts tell me Ullmark was a waste of 5 M a year

Pastrnak gets anything over 11.5 M owe I’ll be that guy who is disappointed in him

Baseball Football basketball go get $35 M a year

Hockey you get $12 M you end up Toronto

Your teammates take less so you can go 50-10

Pastrnak can ask for a trillion and some will give it here

Not me

This is both fascinating but annoying as shit

 

[Wounded]

You are forgetting, that Pasta already got one for a team right into his face. He signed of 6M per year while being one of the best players in the league. He could have asked for much more, but he did not. He totally deserves to be finally being paid according to his skills.

 

[Ladyfan]

Im 100 pct positive he’s staying.

me too

 

[KrejciMVP]

pay him market value and be done with it, bc they'll end up paying the same to a bunch of JAGs trying to desperately replace him that won't match his production. No need to sink the franchise into oblivion over a million or two per year

 

[DKH]

me too

I’m at 80%

Your math is fuzzy - he was closer to 7 M then 6 M

He was also the 5th highest paid RW in the game in 2017 AND he did that as an RFA not a UFA

Why do you just assume that money is what is holding up the deal? I wouldn’t be surprised, if money was already agreed, but Pasta wants to know what the plan is going forward, especially how they plan to replace Bergy and Krejci. A team with Zacha and Coyle as top two centers is not winning any cups. Even more so, if you expect him to take a hometown discount. If I am a player in his position, I would only consider taking less money, if I had confidence that the savings are going to be used to keep the team a contender, and not spent on another Beleskey/Moore/Reilly type.

There is 0.0 Pasta is worried about the plan going forward

Here is some free advice I give all my Life Coach clients - sectionalize

Let’s do the Bruins

They got the most important 50% of their team - defense and goaltending covered for foreseeable future

They are top 3 likely number one and nobody is over 30.

What do you want Pastrnak to be brought into a room and players shown birth certificates

As for his he offense - the plan is 6 Forwards with skill in top 6

Last I looked they half of it covered with players 25 to 26 and Marchand & Hall are signed 3 more years

The plan is obvious - he knows it. Cold Coke

It’s his agent dicking around - I know lawyers I married one who headed a huge union and negotiates contracts

His agent is JP Barry who is partner with Pat Brisson - they got over 100 clients - they got everyone from the Hughes Brothers to Elias Pettersson to Tyler Myers. They are Pepsi and Coke merged

I got smarter people and more connected people then me telling me ir could happen any day so we shall see

We shall see

But my favorite rapper comes to mind when anyone tells me Pastrnak worried about the plan before signing - Ludicrous

Good Morning @DKH Stay warm today

Good Morning @DKH Stay warm today

I plan on it. Went out to eat last night with folks I met in Prague in 2010. They are all still at games but fun to get together every 2-3 months

 

[Gee Wally]

I think it’s strictly financial. Not the overall number aav but how its paid out - bonus aspect.
Lockout bulletproof and as much as you can get upfront.

Concern over team plan? Maybe a passing thought but not really a variable. Secure that money deal. The measuring stick for him and his agent. Maybe he gives Bs slight break.
But who he’s playing with? Not buying it.
History has shown us that in any sport if a player is not happy he can shoot his way out of town.

 

[RustyBruins72]

me too

@LouJersey

I am not there yet. I probably won't be there til he signs.

Just as @DKH posted, I am likely at 80% too.

At NHL All-Star Media Day, the Bruins’ David Pastrnak is a popular talking point - The Boston Globe

As the potential free agent's numbers continue to rise, so do the levels of respect and admiration from friends and foes across the league.

www.bostonglobe.com

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Because the Bruins played in Toronto the night before, David Pastrnak was given the day off from NHL All-Star Media Day. The main representation of the Bruins star at the beach Thursday was a giant puck with his image, nestled on the boardwalk beneath a row of palm trees.

But given how chatter easily turned to the best-in-class Bruins, when a few dozen NHL stars took questions along the waterfront, it’s fair to say Pastrnak was here in spirit.

Pastrnak was an easy conversation topic. His 38 goals rank behind only Connor McDavid (41) for the league lead. He sits tied with Nikita Kucherov of the Lightning for third in scoring (72 points) behind McDavid (92) and Oilers teammate Leon Draisaitl (76). His rocket of a shot, whether launched one-time style from the circle or after dangling into the slot, is feared. His playmaking (34 assists) has earned him a rep as a multi-tool threat.

And more than ever, he’s using his frame (6 feet 1 inch, 195 pounds) to create space for himself and his teammates and, occasionally, to rattle bones on the forecheck.

The Bruins’ leading scorer is having a monster contract year, and the rest of the league would love to see No. 88 break the bank. Not just because he’s a good guy, either.

Whether he re-signs in Boston or tests free agency, Pastrnak — scheduled to splash down in South Florida on Friday with Bruins netminder Linus Ullmark and coach Jim Montgomery — could become one of the highest-paid players in the game. He is sure to surpass defenseman Charlie McAvoy ($9.5 million annually) among Bruins and could challenge the Rangers’ Artemi Panarin ($11.643 million) for the top spot among wings.

If that makes it so the Bruins have fewer dollars to pay others, opponents will be pleased. Until then, they have a heck of a player to deal with.

“It’s hard to just run at a guy like that and take his time and space away,” Rangers defenseman Adam Fox said. “He can make you look silly. He doesn’t have to do it himself. He can give and go and find his spot. It’s easy to say look for him and cover him, but he knows where to go.

“I don’t know if I would describe him as overly physical, when whenever you have guys that have that kind of skill that get in on the forecheck, it’s tough, and while he might not be lining guys up at center ice for open-ice hits, but little bumps here and there slow D-men down. When he’s scoring 30-something goals already, and doing those other things, he’s a special player.”

“Oh, I mean, he’s a highly skilled guy,” Karlsson said. “He’s got a really good hockey IQ, and he’s a big boy. He’s figured out how to use his positioning and his body size. He’s having such a great year. I don’t think anyone who’s watched them is surprised by that.”

“You never know what he’s going to do,” Dahlin said. “Is he going to fake a hit and take the puck, or hit you? He’s such a dynamic player. I don’t like playing against him because he’s so unpredictable.”

“He can beat you in a lot of ways,” Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki said. “He can pretty much do it all.”

Generally speaking, players from Europe appreciate their own kind making it big in North America.

“It’s always nice to see the younger players develop and mature and become superstars,” said Blues wing Vladimir Tarasenko. “I think it’s way more harder than people think to come overseas and face the culture change, the mental change.”

Draisaitl has watched Pastrnak add to his game since they both signed their second contracts in September 2017. The forwards became “close friends” that summer, Pastrnak once said, while they were waiting to cash in. While the German signed for eight years at an annual $8.5 million salary-cap hit, Pastrnak came in at six years with a $6.667 million annual cap hit.

“For me it’s the consistency in his game,” said Draisaitl. “He’s just so dangerous. He’s always had the skill, right? But now the consistency for him to do it every year, over and over, every game. You don’t want him touching the puck too often.”

I wonder how much is about JP Barry protecting his own reputation. Pastrnak is one of the most elite players in the world in the prime of his career. If Burke the number comes in below market, Burke may worry about his ability to attract stars going forward.
