Rumor: Panthers and Bobrovsky discussing contract extension

[GoldenSeal]

Sign him, pay him and start planning ahead.

 

[SI90]

2 year deal would be perfect.

 

[AvatarAang]

he’ll sign for less than he’s worth since he already got paid, won a cup, and gets to retire with warm weather and low taxes

Or you can choose to believe that Zito is so amazing at being a GM that he can convince players to sign for less money

That contract is already expiring? Damn I remember when it was signed and thought it would never end but it has aged surprisingly well after a rocky start.

No he has one year left. NHL and NHLPA may send a reminder to the Florida that according the CBA a new contract can not be discussed until July 1st 2025. He current contract expires July 1 2026.

If teams could already start discussing? This board would be filled with threads about McDavid not resigning with the oilers. July 2nd 2025 I expect the entire board to be filled with threads speculating he wont sign with the oilers

Yeah I know. It's just a marvel to me that we are at the point of potentially negotiating an extension for Bob.

I think the Panthers owe him 8 x $5M AAV so if he retires he still gets paid. Also gives them wiggle room for more contract extensions.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

13m x5 lets goooo

I’d be worried about that 8th year if I was the Panthers. But whatever it takes, just get it done.

He’s not getting more than Carey Price

 

[TotalHomer]

Ehh not sure what the hurry is. Why not just see where he is at in a year and go from there. Regardless I'd give him max 5 million per, 1-2 years.

 

[Dread Clawz]

5M x 3

 

[Mogo]

He could play well into 42-44 years old. Dude is a athletic freak

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Crazy to see this contract work out pretty much the whole duration. Everyone assumed this contract was going to age horribly but instead it worked out fantastically

 

[Wats]

Crazy how he looked like a UFA overpayment to be a great signing.

 

[VaporTrail]

Bob's going to be the Mayor of Miami when he retires, isn't he ?

 

[BKarchitect]

Goalies are voodoo so if you have a guy you can count on in the playoffs, it makes sense to ride him until the wheels fall off.

Shouldn’t be too hard to get a better/more potential backup than Vanecek. Hell, with how weird it is trying to draft and develop hotshot goalie prospects, it wouldn’t surprise me at the end of the day if an unheralded guy nobody knows exists, like Cooper Black, an undrafted college UFA signing, develops into the next guy up.

 

[boredmale]

My Guess is 4 years since that will take him till 40, 5-6M

That would be a 3 year extension, since Bobrovsky still has one year left at the $10M/year cap hit.

I'll change that to 3 years 5 million
