Rumor: Dustin Brown Contract Extension

I hope it's that low (that's what she said)
I was talking my friend about this today and he was thinking
5+mil per. I sure hope you are right (my friend sniffs glue so you probably are)

Kings can't score
Everything we have seen so far from Brown indicates he wants to remain a Kings and is willing to take a hometown discount. Hopefully we can get another solid deal.

I believe when re-signing your own UFAs, the max limit is 8 years, and 6 years if re-signing any other teams' UFA.

Long time King, Cup winner, captain, signed a great deal(for him sure, but especially for the organization) last time. I would think it starts at at least $5 million a year to get him to stay.

How could Blake have known?
Brown signed for pretty cheap in 2008, wonder if maybe he will try and cash in this time.
I think 4.5 seems really really low, especially if the cap is back up next summer. Brown would be in huge demand if he ever got to the open market.
I'm thinking Brown will want similar money to Carter and Richards, and rightfully so.

6-mil...are you out of your mind?? The guys has had one 30+ goal season and you want to pay him 6-mil? No f-ing way.

How could Blake have known?
First off, he already signed a very cheap contract 5 years ago, so the Kings kind of owe him.
Second, everyone else is getting paid. Voynov 4+ coming off his first full NHL season, Penner and Stoll 3+ coming off miserable individual seasons, Regehr 3 million for some reason.
I don't think Brown is the Rob Blake/Ryan Smyth type who will go to the ends of the Earth chasing the biggest offer, but if he did hit the market someone would give him 5.5 to 6 million. Brown is a very unique player, not a lot of guys like him in the NHL.
I wouldn't want him for 6 per either but look at the contract Lucic got. I think we'll keep him for sth between 4.75 - 5.25.

The J in jfont stands for Jesus? Learn something new every day! I'm guessing an AAV right around 5mil, give or take a few hundred grand.

Definitely. I could see Brown being the one player Dean gives some form of a NTC/NMC to. With all that went down in 11-12 at the deadline and with Brown and his family so rooted and involved in the LA area I think he's earned it. Give him a NTC/NMC in exchange for a bit of a lower cap hit (4-4.5 range please!), max him out at 8 years.

I'm guessing, with what he went through last year, that he'd be willing to lower his AAV for a NMC.
Edit: And EmperorPenguin beats me to it.

I think $5M per is the most I'd go with Brown. He's a 20+ goals, 50+ points winger. Patrick Kane carries a cap hit of $6.3M, hell Tavares is at $5.5M. Anywhere between $4.5-5M is ideal. But with the cap going up after next season, who knows what he'll be asking for.

You dont really believe he is a 6 million per year player do you? That is 1 million less than Datsyuk.

No. But you have to consider the new contract structure under the new CBA, hell, Perry and Getzlaf get over $8M, you can't tell me they're on par with Sid.

I like Brown a lot. But when players who play his style reach the upper 20's i personaly would never pay him what he's not worth. The time to pay him what he wasnt worth was the last contract where there is less risk, and hadnt peeked like he has now.
