Sportsnet: Nick Kypreos: Sergei Bobrovsky asking for a 6 or 7 year deal

[BB79]

What kind of idiot would give an old goalie who just had a terrible season that kind of deal?

We'll soon find out..

 

[PatRoy33]

Good luck with that...

 

[PatRoy33]

By golly that's Edmonton's music right there

Bowman's thinking that's his job safe for the next decade.
Probably asked him already if he'd like working with Babcock.

His name is Stan Bowman

 

[DFC]

He'll sign in December. 1 yr, 2m.

 

[ZombosNose]

Why did you put max money in the title? That's not even close to max money.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Toronto will probably be all over this

 

[JKG33]

One of Hellebuyck or Markstrom will be a Panther in the next 3 weeks.

I wouldnt wish that evil on them.

Binnington or Gibson

 

[A1LeafNation]

Zito gave everyone else a retirement contract...why not bob.

 

[MoneyManny]

He wants to LTIR into the sunset.

Would make sense for Edmonton, they're running out of time and a bad contract in 3 years should be the least of their worries.

 

[crowi]

As long as Florida and Ducks don't pay that, get wild.

Him asking $6M-7M isn't max money as well, he wants term. Putting it on thread title Bob wants MAX MONEY is clearly false.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

At his age, it better be one of those bonus-laden deals where it's like $2.5 million in base salary with the potential for triple that if he finishes top 3 in Vezina voting or something.

 

[Emerald Duck]

I hope Bob likes Edmonton winters.

 

[EXTRAS]

I wouldn't pay him 4x4.

Would rather just try and get a guy like annunen for cheap.

 

[Silky mitts]

1 team was willing to give a crazy looking contract his last UFA

 

[jackjohnson]

Welcome to Deadmonton. The goalie graveyard

 

[Oddbob]

On what planet is any GM giving a 38 year old goalie 5 or more years at high cap hit?

Edmonton usually does. Just look at their history lol

 

[CaptainScrewy]

1 team was willing to give a crazy looking contract his last UFA

And if everyone hated it (including Panther fans), yet it turned out to be a great deal.

 

[IronHookem]

I dont blame him for trying. Their GM signed Marchand to a deal that keeps him in the league until he's 43.

 

[kevsh]

Okay, now here's the question: Putting aside where, anyone want to take a stab at how much he actually gets & the term?

I'll throw out 4 years x ~$8M.

The gamble that he bounces back in year 1 or 2 and helps a playoff a team go on a run? I'd guess there's a GM out there that takes that bet.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Why did you put max money in the title? That's not even close to max money.

Yeah, had me confused as well. I wouldn't want to sign him to 6 or 7, but that's far from max money.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

At his age, it better be one of those bonus-laden deals where it's like $2.5 million in base salary with the potential for triple that if he finishes top 3 in Vezina voting or something.

Performance bonuses won't allow that.

 

[Schennanigans]

lol. Florida walking away makes alot of sense now.

 

[McShogun99]

Oilers going to do a sign and trade to get that 8th year to bring his cap hit down to 6
