LFG

wait 8? Lord have mercy

I love the player but not the term or dollar figure. Obviously in Zito I trust but im surprised. And this means near 10 for Reino.

ppl will disagree with me, yet again, but Verhaeghe has been on the same tier with Barkov and Chuck. 8.5milx6 is totally worth it.

[barkovcanfinnish]

He’s part of the core. 8 mil is a little steep but he’s proven to be a great top-6 winger and a major contributor come playoff time

 

[ScottyMascotty]

I did the math and considering cap rising to 92M$ in 25-26 and probably increasing by 4M$ every year, 8M*6y would be the same as 6,55M*6y if using flat 23-24 season cap (83,5M). 8,5M*6y equals to 6,96M*6y in this projection

 

[batting1k]

Willie Mitchell will be back before the end of Verhaeghe’s new contract

 

[wampa13jku]

HockeyVirus already said this is a terrible deal on the main board, that means Zito will manage to get a steal here and Carter will help bring another cup before the Leafs even sniff the ECF. If he hates it, that means we are good fam

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Is that a speculated figure? That’s probably what he would get on the open market, but hoping he’d take a little less.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Rhino should be valued in the same range as Swaggy

 

[PSLguy]

If the cap goes up enough next year, 8 for Swaggy is fair.

 

[Felidae]

It's obvious what's going to happen.

Everyone takes a discount and we keep the entire roster...

 

[Boothinator]

8 is a fair deal. Cap will go up. Percentage it takes from the cap is more important. 8 Mio Dollar the next few seasons isnt the same like a contract with the lenght signed 5 yrs ago

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

True, cap may be 92-93 million. Hard not to be stuck in a flat cap mentality

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Nope

 

[ShootIt]

Inb4 Zito flips it to 8 years 6mil per

 

[KW]

Hey guys, Zito is obviously just winging it and getting super lucky just like the team was worse than everyone but just lucked into the Stanley Cup. Lucky motherf***ing idiots.

[FinlandPanther]

Swaggy ain’t taking a discount but to be honest he deserves it. Guy was clutch and is a 40 goal scorer. 8 is CHEAP.

Sign em all.. play prospects.. love it

How can they afford it? Stone on LTIR incomin

 

[Beezers Mask]

To be honest the Bob and Knight contracts are really making things complicated. It’s just way too much money tied up in goaltending.

As far as Reinhart, Verhaeghe, and Bennett while they were huge pieces of our cup win we cannot pay top dollar for them unless it’s maybe one. That is the way teams like Pittsburgh screwed up their cap, they spent too much money to keep guys who weren’t Crosby, Malkin, and Letang. And it made it way more difficult for them to get back.

 

[BabyBennettov]

I still believe we can do Swaggy under 8M and Reino under 9M…

We’ll see !

 

[iam76]

I really hope knight takes off next year
