Confirmed Signing with Link: [FLA] F Aleksander Barkov signs extension with Florida (8 years, $10M AAV)

[topshelf15]

Likely everyone got the term and the value on this deal ...Lol...No real surprise here

 

[Akrapovince]

Congrats Florida fans!!

 

[CupsOverCash]

Fair deal and good player locked in for long term, hard to argue against this.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

If you are a panthers fan , this is a really good news for the start of the season , locking up the captain for 8 years with good terms

 

[Edgelord]

I wonder what his take home is on that and what the cap hit would be in MTL/Tor for the same take home?

 

[KevinRedkey]

Not just TSN. The NHL also has Crosby & Matthews ahead. So does NBC sports. So do the Hockey Writers. So does ESPN.

EVERYONE out there ranks Barkov outside the top 5-6. Except you few Florida fans in here, who get so easily offended by the facts.

I personally see him as 7th or 8th best, as far as Centres go. And I'm right.

HF ranks him 6th FWIW
Center Rankings #30

I think 4th to 8th is reasonable.

 

[LASTAR]

A great deal - and made better for both team and player due to the Tax situation in Florida. I wonder if players are taxed (for away games) for their whole salary or just the base salary.

The reason it is great is because it's 2022 season, and salaries only go up with time. If he was a UFA to be next year and the 5th best center (I think he is better) - he should be making more than all on this group of forwards except McDavid - there are a couple of dogs on this list.

Worst 3 for this year only = 1 Eichel, 2 Malkin 3 T0ews. --> because of injury... and your not sure what you are going to get with them going forward

Things will be interesting next summer for the Panthers and the cap. I believe they now have about $72M locked up for next year plus another $6.5M in dead cap from Yandle and Scott Darling. So not a huge amount to round out the roster without moving someone.

Hornqvist is as good as gone

Seems fair for both sides if he can stay healthy enough. He has only played 82 once.

He’s missed an average of 2.5 games per seasons the last 4 years. Hasn’t really been an issue

 

[Spender]

That's a damn solid deal for Panthers.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Heck of a player, congrats Florida

 

[Breakers]

Surprised he didn't try to defer more to avoid escrow next year.
It does drop next year, but it drops to its lower amount the year after

but he had to give something back in that contract

 

[Homesick]

This is a good deal now, great deal for years 4-6, and will be a good deal for years 7-8 unless he pulls a Benn

 

[Big Empty]

... 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.

Hey fella, just wanted to offer you my sincerest apologies for making this thread. I hope I didn't upset you.

A great deal - and made better for both team and player due to the Tax situation in Florida. I wonder if players are taxed (for away games) for their whole salary or just the base salary.

The players are taxed for their whole salaries (base salary + signing bonus) if they play for teams which are not located in Florida, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas and Washington.

Base salary are paid during the regular season meanwhile the signing bonus are paid mostly on July 1st. So players in those states with large signing bonuses doesn't pay any state income taxes on them. That's why they can take favorably "discounts".

 

[Legion34]

I wonder what his take home is on that and what the cap hit would be in MTL/Tor for the same take home?

bout 11.5-12ish IIRC

Although state taxes play a role they are often exaggerated on hfboards. In Colorado they are for instance currently at 4.63%, regardless of income. California has the highest rate of 13.3% for the highest tax bracket.

 

[Fisticuffer]

Fair deal. Always been a big Barkov fan.

 

[kp61c]

nice bonus

 

[TheBeard]

That’s Bobrovsky money!

 

[Zamknij kurwa ryj]

Great term. Great dollar amount. Fantastic player.

And he's pretty hot.

 

[HarrisonFord]

I believe Barkov’s take home salary is higher at $10MM than Matthews at $11.64MM

 

[Nucklehead Supreme]

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

 

[danktopshelf]

Florida is the best state. Our cap is 13% higher than the rest of the league. This is dope. Cats gonna be filthy

How do you figure?

 

[Laus723]

Hornqvist is as good as gone

I don’t think so, guy is phenomenal in the locker room and did a ton to change the culture here. He brings a lot of intangibles, think he’ll finish out his contract here.
