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

[DKH]

hell sign for 11 million, I dont buy this 12 + nonsense. if anything they are still trying to work him down to 10.5, but I doubt its going to happen.

I'm sure the "sizable gap" was that they wanted the Kucherov/Tkachuck and he wanted the Huberdeau/Panarin. He's a better winger than Panarin, one of the best in the game, so he deserves that contract. more than 11? that's top tier center money (McDavid, Matthews, etc.).

When Emily Kaplan said ‘they’ are inching closer but Pastrnak concerned who he plays with going forward rules out Bruins as a source

Twofold info given her
1. No need to bother Pastrnak or Bruins with questions
2. Why he would leave - really why did that have to be said to her ?

Is he hesitant?

Not confident but taking my 80/20 rule into my 60,000 or whatever many posts I have I been wrong or had shitty takes 12.000, or if you think I suck 48,000.

My next date is trade deadline is he signed - after that when season over

 

[NeelyDan]

No nothing - zero

Actually I asked someone who might and said he wants to stay

We are 400-something hours till trade deadline and not signed

Im scarred (not scared) over Bogaerts & Betts leaving

Forsberg went all the way to end and signed last minute so there’s that

Emily Kaplan to me is who is being fed what Pasta camp wants - he has to agree my takeaway is Sweeney & Barry keeping flies off the feast - she says both talking every day does this BUT he’s concerned who he plays with after everyone leaves

It’s a shame Dans Locmelis is 2 years away

this to me connects a point i made in the trade thread - does it make sense to focus on meier and not a middleman for the near future....esp if pasta concerned about who he'll play with

Focus on the Immediate and settle business as it comes... get fowards slotted where the team is best and upgrade 4c (can you internally slide coyle down by adding a winger to the top six)

“How David Pastrnak’s next contract could make him the league’s highest paid player.”

My guess is that he could sign the most expensive contract in the league.

If that is the case, we lose him. My guess is 12 million and no higher. That would, of course, suck. However, given this eventuality,if I am Sweeney, I acquire the best winger possible at the deadline.

 

[LouJersey]

So how many of these superstar UFA actually stay with their teams when it gets this far down the line?

nobody is going to give the Bruins any value for a rental.

I think it was you who suggested it but if Pastrnak made it known he was testing FA I wouldn't mind a Pasta for Meier w/ extension + swap.

It would be tough to deal him in the middle of one of the best seasons the franchise has ever had but do you let him leave for nothing just to have him for the playoff run? I am sure hypothetically he would produce more in these playoffs than Meier but you get to keep Meier for 8 years.

Just something interesting to think about in a hypothetical situation where Pastrnaks camp tells Don pre-deadline that he's not coming back.. IDK if San Jose would even want him (or could fit him) rather than a package of futures from another team. Unless they would rather take Pasta then deal him somewhere else for something else they need.

Well in order to figure that out we need a few things:

1. what do we define as a "superstar"
2. what time period are we looking at (all of NHL history? last 10yrs? 20yrs?)

In my head the two I'm thinking about right away are Stamkos and Bergeron. Although Bergeron is a unique situation, so many that would disqualify him from the pool of players we'd be looking at.

Since 2017ish, stars/superstars that went to free agency and didn't re-sign with the team they were on Gaudreau, Pietrangelo, Hamilton, Panarin, Duchene, Pavelski, Tavares and Radulov.

Stamkos and Forsberg stayed. Tavares and Gaudreau left. There had been whispers of Gaudreau wanting to come east for years though, and I think Calgary was just dumb in that case. The Tavares situation is the one the scares me. He said all the right things until the end... and then said goodbye.

Oh Pietrangelo is a good one. STL did want him back. Duchene and Panarin and some of these other guys were never staying.

I am saying get Meier to replace Pasta not trade him directly.

Radulov? Really? I wouldn't call him a star.

Tomas Hertl.

Its tough for me to include Duchene or Panarin to the list. It was no secret that Duchene wanted to go to Nashville and Panarin wanted to play in either LA or New York.

 

[Absurdity]

Radulov? Really? I wouldn't call him a star.

At the time of free agency in 2017, I think a case could have been made. He scored 72pts the year he signed with Dallas and then was above a ppg his next season.

Maybe depending on your definition. For me (by my definition) he wasn't a star.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Sweeney wont give Pasta free Breadsticks. Holding a deal up.

Sweeney not signing Pastrnak because he has plans to sign at least 3 3M+ LD in the off season.

 

[LouJersey]

13mil or bust. David can write a blank check at this point.

 

[unkempt]

I don't know nothing, but if Pastrnak leaves I have totally misread his character. You learn from your elders. He might/should learn something from Bergeron.

 

[neelynugs]

This Leafs lover sucks total donkey ass.

that guy is absolutely terrible, just like the rest of the leafs media

Question is, is he having a career year in a contract year? We say it about other players but this is one of our own.

 

[TD Charlie]

Question is, is he having a career year in a contract year? We say it about other players but this is one of our own.

Did he have similar production a few years back when he flirted with 50? I think he will eclipse those totals, but he’s always been a bit better than a point per game player. Outside of his rookie season and his sophomore year (where i think he was still getting used to the size, he bulked up a tad)

I looked it up mid post. He’s scoring at almost identical pace to the year i referenced.

Technically it might be a career year, meaning his most productive. But it’s not an outlier by any measure.

Yes, the COVID shortened season when he won the Rocket.

He had the same GPG and PPG as he does this year (.70 and 1.36).

Edit: had 48-47-95 in 70 games that year

Who are the 3 D? Not up on UFA yet

that's what will happen for sure!
