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

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

What in the f*** is this nonsense.

 

[GAGLine]

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

 

[Memento]

I absolutely adored that movie as a kid.

But anyway, Florida, can the Blues interest you in Jordan Binnington?

 

[frederixx]

He's turning 38 in september, this has to be a joke

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

All of you jokers are laughing at Bob and his agent. I wouldn't. You know what, with Stan Bowman being Stan Bowman, a man with a long and storied history of handing out fat cat retirement contracts in his days with the Hawks? If I'm Bob's agent? I would be Steph Curry for the day and shoot my damned shot, even if it's from half court.

 

[Pavelski2112]

Lmao I literally just watched this again the other night

 

[SI90]

Bob you gotta relax.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Classless Panthers org. After the two cups he won for them they can't take care of him like they did Marchand? Pay the man don't be disrespectful.

Players notice this stuff.

 

[Frank Drebin]

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

You say that as if they are similar goalies lol

Thats like saying one of larkin or alex kerfoot are going to join the wild this summer

It's not that they're similar goalies but it's pretty clear they are the best 2 options that will be available to Florida if/when Bob continues being unreasonable in his contract demands.

Just like Larkin and Trocheck are likely the 2 best available centers.

I don’t think Florida has the assets or is willing to pay what Chevy wants for helle. We saw what he got for pld who demanded a trade.

I would find markstrom to fla amusing, but I can’t see zito doing that.

Knies for Bob?

Someone will give something stupid to Bob. Looking at Toronto or Edmonton.

Chevy would absolutely ask for Lundell coming back for Hellebuyck. Zito hangs up the phone. Next option is Binnington, he would be cheaper too.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Thank God the Devils let go of Fitzgerald or he absolutely would have done this

I could see the 9th OA for Helle. So Winnipeg would have both the 8th and 9th OA, good way to start the rebuild.

From a neutral fan perspective 9 + Samoskevich for Helle makes a ton of sense. Then again Winnipeg may mistakenly think they can legitimately contend. I don't think they can. Lundell for Helle makes no sense to me from a Florida standpoint.

I don't think goalies have that much value. It's not like this is prime Carey Price. Also his contract isn't that great due to the lenght.

 

[shortfuze]

Good for him. A players value is based off what a GM is willing to pay.

Gms typically overpay in free agency, just to get the player. Cost of doing business. Doesn't mean that the player is actually worth it.

 

[Glorydays22]

He's asking for 6 or 7.....Tell Bob to go jump off a bridge. No one should sign this guy at any price or term after the year he had plus his age.

He has to be sniffing some real good shit.

 

[eojsmada]

Calling BS on this. No way a 38yo goalie has the leverage, especially after the year he had, to command a 6-7 year deal.

 

[T_Cage]

I mean, if he wants 6yrs @ 3m per, sure I'll give him 6 years

If he expects 8-10m.....not a chance

 

[Vector M2B Edition]

One of the worst goalies in the league last year.

If GMs had a clue he'd get a 1Y league minimum contract with performance bonuses. Someone will be dumb however.
