Rumor: LeBrun: John Carlson looking for 10M+

2 years sure

More predictable than the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, NHL fans pretend to not understand how a cap increase results in larger contracts.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Chicago offers 2x12.5 per and selects Reid at 4...moves Rinzel or Levshunov in a package for Knies or Robertson?

Reid won't be there at 4 lol

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Reid won't be there at 4 lol

Who is to say SJ doesn't explore Byram for Eklund then take Stenberg and offer Andersson a bag in free agency and thats their top pair next year?

Dream on, Pal

Dmitry Orlov got 7.75x2 on an 83 mill cap and people are losing their minds about Carlson the vastly better player on a 10x2 on a 104 mill cap

Dougie Hamiton says hello again!

Dougie said "screw you" to us last year, and now he wants to come here? SJ has higher self-esteem than that!

Nah just kidding. We'll give you Col 2nd for him

 

[Ivan Friggin Drago]

Wait, how much?

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Chicago will give him 2x10 easily if their plan is to move out a RHD for a top 6 forward if they end up with Reid at pick 4...Carlsson would be the perfect stop gap...whether the money is more important than competing for a cup who knows

 

[VanillaCoke]

Guaranteed trip to Regretsville

 

[SavBigMoneyAtBedards]

$10M for a soon to be 37-yr old defenseman who has already logged over 1100 games and 27,000 minutes?

Please no.

Would be disaster for Hawks to move out one of our young RD and then compound mistake by overpaying for Carlson to come and suck ass like he did with Ducks when they needed him to show up

 

[TimeZone]

People aren't adjusting for the cap rising on this site, there's going to be some real large salaries paid out over the next few seasons, the flat cap era is dead.

 

[Deranged Oreo]

10m+? Carlson can get f***ed

 

[SirKillalot]

Looks a lot older these days, really aged.

 

[Dirty Dog]

I don’t get the disbelief in this thread. Dude is very good and probably worth that per year. So on a 2 year deal, it makes sense

At one end of the rink. His legs are shot and he can't keep up defensively for 20+ minutes a night. There's a reason almost all Ducks fans don't mind him walking at that price.

 

[OversKy]

It's fine and even an easier deal at 2 years than today's Raddysh contract in my eyes. Not a bargain but fills a need for teams looking for a solid stopgap.

With all due respect, given Carlsson's age he likely wants to play for a contender not a team that's still in a rebuild.

Tampa makes a lot of sense now that Raddysh is gone, immediately fills a hole and the length of the contract is pretty much what both sides are comfortable with.

Just don't see him going to a young team.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Yeah, and I am looking to score with Emily Blunt...

He'll absolutely get that somewhere lol.

It's pretty much the Orlov contract, except it accounts for cap inflation and the absolute lack of talent on the UFA market.

Agree that TB makes the most sense. The Chicago broadcast mentioned on a pregame show at the end of the season that Carlson would be a potential target so it would not be a surprise if they come in with an inflated bid on a short term deal if they go Reid at 4 and want to move a RHD like Rinzel out for a forward and JC becomes a stop gap until Reid is ready...But there was already a report Carlson wants to go back east so...

 

[Jumptheshark]

2 to 3 years? He will get it

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

After the Loss of Raddysh you got to believe this is Tampa, it almost has to be.

If it's not they have a big hole on the defense

I don’t think 2 x $10M is that extreme and the Orlov signing is the first comp I thought of for an older defenseman.

Wouldn’t hate him on the Flyers to give Bonk and Jiricek more time to cook in the AHL. Think this makes even more sense if they move on from Risto in the offseason.
