GDT: Free Agency 2019

[Off Sides]

Annoyed, no. Expecting a similar deal when his contract is up? Bet on it.

As will any player else who equals or surpasses Panarin at time of their extension, whether RFA or not.

Toronto has changed things concerning high end RFAs coming off their entry levels.

WHAT?

 

[haohmaru]

9M for Lee? This is getting all kinds of stupid.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

You have to admit the lack of scope of the business by the fans is kind of funny.

It's what keeps me going day after day.

 

[NYR Viper]

Is Lee that much worse than Skinner? if I were Lee, that's what I would be using as a comparable.

Kreider is going to get $8-9m

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

I wonder how much Panarin would get if he didn't have a shortlist of destinations

About the same unless some one was a moron and maxed him.

His short list also let teams like the Flames know that they could cancel his holiday inn room they booked on Orbitz.

 

[Inferno]

Who cares about paying girardi or staal an extra mil or so, or giving them an extra year or so..it's no big deal

A few years later....

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Gold jacket ...green jacket...who gives a ****?

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

When was the last 27 year old 75-85point player available for nothing but cash

Last year. John Tavares.

Literally last year.

Some people never learn, just see the shiny new toy.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

We are also going to have more assets than we can fit on this team, so we'll be able to make enticing packages for high-level players....assuming we have the cap space.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Last year. John Tavares.

And the Rangers probably would have been pushing for him hard if not for the fact that he played for Islanders

 

[Inferno]

Stamkos was a few years ago, hall could be next year, etc.

If that's the case then it's time to pack his bags and enjoy that money elsewhere.

Alanis Morissette sang about this.

Na it was from Lamb of God's unplugged album with Lindsey Buckingham on vocals iirc?

 

[NYR Viper]

The fact that they are hanging around makes me believe Panarin wants to play for the Rangers and Gorton isn't budging on his offer

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

And the Rangers probably would have been pushing for him hard if not for the fact that he played for Islanders

I can pretty much assure you that they wouldn't have been.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

?
The Rangers once hired Brian Trottier as their coach, I'm not sure they really care what team he was coming from.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Crazy how FA hasn't even technically started and it already feels like Panarin is taking way too long.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

I'm all for signing Panarin, but can you imagine how annoyed Zbad will be, if he ends up outscoring the Breadman when he's making half his salary?

[Kovalev27]

There it is from shannon. We’re in this big time

Panarin obviously wants us to up the offer or he’d be committed to the islanders by now

 

[Thirty One]

I wonder how much Panarin would get if he didn't have a shortlist of destinations

Well we know Columbus offered at least $12M for 8 years and Colorado offered $12.5 for a shorter term, probably 5 years. So in that range.
