Rumor: Panthers and Verhaeghe nearing 6 year extension in 8-8.5 area

[BB88]

He'll be 30 when the contract starts. I don't like signing players until their 35 closing in on 36, but I think if you can get decent production for 4 years it's worth it.

Florida is in all in window and with Barkov/Tkachuk/Reinhart/Verhaeghe they have a 5 year window

Verhaeghe is neither getting the max cap hit nor ceiling which is rare for top caliber UFA

It's weird to see people say it's too much. The guy is a gem and looks like a big player for Florida.

These are just people who’ve never watched him play and, I assume, didn’t even look up his stats.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Lol, discounts.

Meanwhile, in Ottawa, "We'll pay double for your damaged goods table scraps!". I'm jelly.

I think is the fact that he'll be 30 when the contract starts.

I think most non Leafs fans would take Verhaeghe at 8 over Nylander at 11.5 every day of the week.

Oh man. Thank you for the belly laugh.

Oh man. Thank you for the belly laugh.

Make a poll, you will be surprised, in fact I will, always good for a chuckle.

Verhaeghe @ 8per or Nylander @ 11.5

@HockeyVirus Let's have it folks, which long term deal will be better?

I think he's one of those players whose game doesn't decline as much with age given his playstyle.

HFboards polls are not worth anything. But left you some feedback

He's had two nice years, but seems a bit rich. Maybe this is what things cost in the new NHL? He'll be 30 yo before the new contract starts.

Not worth anything because they allow more than biased Leafs fans to reply, sure.

Two years? Ooooof.

Oh your poll is back firing and now it is biased Leaf fans. Maybe you are just off on your assessment of the two players. That doesn't mean Carter sucks, he is just no Nylander and pretty laughable to compare the two.

 

[FerrisRox]

After this playoffs, I think you spelled Evan Rodriguez wrong

Ironically, so did you.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

70+ point player plus proven playoff performer absolutely deserves $8-$8.5M

Crazy how well Florida's core player ages line up:
Barkov, Bennet, Verhaeghe, Reinhart, Forsling, Ekblad (might be on his way out, but whatever), Mikkola all 28. Tkachuk a couple years younger.

Possibly. It's just one of those things you don't know until it happens.

 

[Skeletorrr]

True that. I just judge these things as I see them. He doesn't rely on physicality, blazing speed or strength to score the goals and that usually bodes well for a players game aging well.

Lol, seems you may want to give it another look.

When Nylander is winning it is biased Leaf fans, when he is losing it is 100% unbiased and factual.

No I told you about biased Leafs fans, when you said HF polls don't mean a thing, and before I posted the actual poll, you declared a winner as soon as the votes were in Nylanders favor.

You really pick and choose your spots lol.

The results are what I expected, and predicted, you not so much.

Good for him 100% deserved

Not bad for a kid who was throw in as part of a package for a winger who couldn’t hit the Atlantic Ocean if he was standing in it.
