Boldy got 7 x 7 as a draft year comparable. Tage got 7.1 x 7 as an internal comparable.

Those are pretty reasonable and anywhere between 7-8 is probable. Anything less than 8 long-term will be well worth it.

Well........sh*t! I like Boldy, but looking at his stats so far 7x7 seems excessive for a player with only 91 games on his resume. Set the market though.

Sure. And it's hearsay, but Andrew Peters has noted on more that one occasion that 'reportidly, he was asking for $6m/per'. I personally find Peters does not report things that aren't authentic and coming from a solid source.

Yeah, Peters doesn't usually say anything unless it's real. He's not one of those hacks who passes along every little thing he hears or floats his own personal speculation as rumor.

I wouldn’t mind an 8x8, anything less which is possible I’d consider a win. He’s only going to get even better. He’s a huge piece for the future.

Yesterday solidified an impression that has been forming for me over this season. Dylan Cozens is becoming a clutch player. I think he is and will continue to become the guy you rely on to score those clutch goals. Apologies if someone has mentioned this before (we create a lot of posts on here lol)

He might not dazzle with his hands but he has learned this season how to better release the puck and he's putting it higher up in the net and finishing plays. You might just be poking fun at some skeptical posts though.

He might not be a guy who is going to dangle but he is a very smooth stick handler good at protecting the puck and being able to beat defenders with simple moves going inside or outside and like you said he always has the puck in a position to pass or shoot

You’re going to have to make your peace with the fact that Tage isn’t his comparable. If he broke out on his second contract after doing nothing a few years from now…he would be.

his comparables are Hughes and Stutzle and guys that broke out under their ELC. You arent getting a “could be a fluke, let’s both take some risk” deal with a 21 year old who produces like this because his trajectory is not only much safer to project than Thompson…it’s not the anomaly that Thompson was.

Be happy they saved on Tage.

Cozens is an 8 million dollar 8 year contract comparable.

It is what it is. You should be happy he’s developed into it…because that’s the goal.

NO
 
I don’t know what to tell you. But there isn’t an agent alive who is going to care about Tage Thompson’s deal when the rest of the league is signing actual comparable situations to bigger money.

Offer the same contract as Tage and see if he takes it, what a player, such a genuine kid who loves the game and his teammates. There's so many likeable guys on the team but Cozens definitely one of the most.
 
It’d great if he takes the TT deal, but I’d rather have him on an 8x8. Wouldn’t be surprised with an 8.5 x 8.

Stutzle is his comp although I think Stutzle is better. If they got a 6.5x8 like someone suggested DC would be in the running for most valuable asset in the league.

I heard someone compare the kid to Ryan Kesler pre-draft and I can't shake it, albeit a much skinnier version.

Speed, High motor, ultra competitive, leadership, intangibles, clutch. I love watching this kid play hockey.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the kid would murder a grizzly bear with his bare hands to get one in the win column for his team.
