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

[SpezDispenser]

That is a ton of money...wow

That is a ton of money...wow

Even if it's true - what are people expecting an extension to look like for a guy who is 7th in the NHL in ES goals the past two years and 1st in the playoffs in ES goals? He's one of the very best, most clutch, dangerous even-strength stars in the entire league...

 

[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

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

And people on here say that Guentzel won't get $9 million

People are still stuck in 2011 when it comes to salaries

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

The cap hit is not too bad but 6 years is a lot considering he will be 30 when that extension begins…

 

[Riggins]

It's going to be a good summer for him, a day with the Cup and a cool $50,000,000 contract extension.

After this playoffs, I think you spelled Evan Rodriguez wrong

 

[ScottyMascotty]

Pretty terrible contract. He got worse as the year went on is already 29

Of course it's gonna be terrible for you, you would've given anything to bring him back to his hometown Leafs, so maybe they would get past 1st round more than once in 20 years

 

[Gentle Man]

this contract has nothing to do with Reinhart. Different years

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Will never forgive him for the 12 points in 6 games vs the Caps a few years ago. He single-handedly dragged the Panthers to winning that series.

Just kidding, all is forgiven. Good for him for going from the ECHL to making generational money.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

YIKES!! Bye Sam

 

[Chaos2k7]

Gonna be alot of hand wringing over the Panthers window not slamming shut like many are hoping for.

Carter deserves every penny.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Thank you Bolts for letting this guy go to free agency

 

[Sota Popinski]

Panthers could be in serious cap trouble. Rumoured to be re-signing Tarasenko as well or at least intereted in it.

with $19 million in cap space, Montour, OEL, Kulikov as UFAs and 2 other RFAs on the blue line. Bennett needing a new contact as well as Cousins, Okposo, Lundell and Reinhart and questionable depth for chasing the cup and a couple large trades over the past few years.

What happens to their role players? Reinhart?

They are in serious cap trouble. But Reinhart is staying. Montour, Kulikov probably gone. Okposo probably retiring. Lundell, OEL, Tarasenko probably depend on how much they want

That is a ton of money...wow

?

Superstar money today is 11M+

Verhaeghe is easily, easily worth 8M as a top line player in his prime

 

[SnS]

Worth it.

Lmao. Cup 2 incoming.

 

[Paulinbc]

Damn. That is aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lot.

 

[iam76]

Rhino signing coming next

 

[cheesymc]

WoW definitely an overpay especially for a Florida team, but hey, they just won their first cup. Plus he is super clutch. Doesn’t matter if they regret it 5 years from now… they want to win another now. But that means goodbye to Monty, Forsling, or Reinhardt.

Fair enough. It looked like a lot, but if he's worth it, great.

Forsling signed an extension a few months back.

 

[plank]

no way he's getting 8 mil.

 

[FinlandPanther]

no way he's getting 8 mil.

He has 42 goals and 34 goals and is a playoff beast. He most certainly is.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Verhaeghe is so legit. Hope we can re-sign him.
