Huh

Maybe GMMG's options were limited by who Timo would commit to an extension with

Or maybe Timo's like "yolo just gimme that 10 million and let's talk $100M contract after next year #nocommitments"

Be malpractice by him or his agent to take that risk on a long term deal to scrap out an extra million for a year.

Please no one that hurts the tank

 

[spintops]

Or it’s the best he could get.

Seems like the "reported offers" we turned down would have to be totally wrong.

Seems like the "reported offers" we turned down would have to be totally wrong.

That’s what I’m holding on to for dear life.

 

[Alaskanice]

I'm scared but hopeful.

Same

 

[Jwec]

Or it’s the best he could get.

The offers he turned down was better than offer with Mukhamadullin as centerpiece.

Seems like the "reported offers" we turned down would have to be totally wrong.

Would that be shocking?

 

[NWSharkie]

If we take all rumors at face value, NJD had wanted last chance to beat all those Seravalli-reported pick packages, so the return might be better than I we fear?

 

[Friday]

Please dont break my heart

 

[seroes]

I'm hoping this will be great but dreading it at the same time

 

[pappaf2]

Guessing one of those offers was Vegas?

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Just give me Nemec + 2 2nds straight up and I'll be happy. I just want Nemec.

 

[Mafoofoo]

The offers he turned down was better than offer with Mukhamadullin as centerpiece.

For all we know that could be the Sharks front office trying to get ahead and save face for the incoming disaster “oh we believe so and so is way more valued than a 1rst from anonymous team”

 

[ThorNton Apologist]

Or it’s the best he could get.

I highly doubt that

 

[Alaskanice]

I’m still holding out for Mercer.

Shoot me.

 

[OffSydes]

Fire MG

 

[hohosaregood]

You never get fair value for a star player unfortunately

 

[hockeyCEO]

I wonder how's Timo's upper body injury. New Jersey taking a big risk. Just kidding

 

[Jwec]

You never get fair value for a star player unfortunately

Erik Karlsson trade had fair value. Ottawa definitely did not lose that trade and did get fair value.

Exactly it, for reasons I’ve explained many times, Timo’s value isn’t high because he’s so close to free agency and about to make big money.

 

[mogambomoroo]

Don't know how much I trust this, but I'll have some hope

Not on the day of the trade. They got lucky the Sharks had their worst season in 25 years and Norris took a huge step forward developmentally the year after he was traded.

 

[Sysreq]

People are freaking out about an extension on the main board, but he is an RFA still after this contract. Between team-elected arbitration and the offer sheet return, its kind of a no risk deal. Give him a 1-year QO at 10 mil and then trade him at the deadline for what it cost to get him. If someone offer-sheets him take the 4 1st and run.

 

[SjMilhouse]

Don't know how much I trust this, but I'll have some hope

This can't be true. Devils fans said he's basically McDavid untouchable

 

[Juxtaposer]

Don't know how much I trust this, but I'll have some hope

If Friedman was saying that, he’d have tweeted it already, don’t you think?
