8x11, I'd guess. He's a bit better than what JT was heading into UFA, but Florida's no income tax knocks it back down to $11M.

LeBrun: - Panthers and Barkov deep into extension talks, announcement could come in a few weeks
Come on man, I know everyone wants to be the OP of a popular post but it's not even halfway down the first page.

True but extension vs going to market tends to bring the price down a bit. I’m leaning closer to $10.
As a UFA, he'd get 12M+ easily.
But other Tampa greats have signed for less recently, such as Kucherov, Hedman, Vasi or Stamkos. I'm sure state taxes + climate helps. But just because those Tampa players signed for less, doesn't mean Barkov is willing to.
I'm also pretty certain he won't sign for less than Bob (10M$ AAV) as that would be idiotic.
My guess is he gets 11 or 11.5M$ for ~7-8 years.

Thinking 10 or 10.5, just because I don't think Florida went into these talks with a strategy to convince him that he's worth less than Bobrovsky and to play hard ball on that lol. That combined with no state tax (on the open market, bidding would have started at the Panarin contract). 10 or 10.5 x 8 seems a safe bet.
This announcement says an extension could happen today. That announcement says an extension could come in a few weeks. It’s also from different sources. The thread tag is different. If there was a mega thread I would have just posted it there.
If you really feel that bothered that there’s another thread, ask a mod to merge them. I have no issue.
Why do people think that if some teams overpay players that somehow it can be used as a comparable. He's barely a ppg player. He shouldn't get anything much over 9 aav

What the deuce
Because he just won the selke? And in the last full season he put up 96 points...
except Friedman says he’s hearing TODAY is a good day, sounds like it may come today. Instead of weeks.
might wanna redo your math. And look at his hardware. Or don’t, he’s earned whatever he gets, and most likely more than what he signs for. Dude has been a huge player in turning this franchise around.

1 great year but ppg otherwise. Hard to justify paying him like he's a 100 point guy year in and year out.

There have been stories about this since August.
Just tell us when he is re-signed and for the length/amount of contract.
We all know he is going to be re-signed by the Panthers.

Good for Florida.
They turned it around just in time. They're set up for a handful of good years now. Shame about that Bobrovsky deal though.

... yeah, so you put that update in the thread where that extension is already being talked about with 4 pages of content. I understand the allure of wanting to be first to "break" a story, or be the OP of a thread but come on.
If we make a new thread for every time a different insider gives a different time line/comment then we'd have 5 main page threads for every topic up for discussion. Just common sense.
or, just allow a mod to do it if he feels it needs to be merged. I wouldn’t check that thread with that title if there was an update, but this caught my attention. I hadn’t checked Twitter yet after making breakfast, so it was nice to see.
