I don’t think Bennett ages well. Loved his game back to Calgary days. He probably gets to much term like Stephson type of deal 7x7

Boeser isn’t that old and I think he scores into his mid 30s. Not sure the comparable for him in a contract negotiation

Point being in no world do you give Rantanen or Marner 8 figure deals. It also absolutely crushes our pay scale for retaining Bedard down the road. Exactly what Leafs did with Tavares

I don’t know. Can Bennett still not do a pull up?

Edit: found the link. Can’t believe this is 11 years ago

 
Regarding SJ, is the thinking that he is fairly priced at 5 million per real money, or 7 million per? Because in the last five years of his contract his cap hit is significantly more than his salary. Someone else said that he would be more attractive after his 5 million signing bonus is paid next summer because then he's owed about 7.2 million real money per year. If the Hawks retain 2 million per SJ would be paid about 5 million per by his acquiring team. Wouldn't he be a bargain at that price?

When I was looking at the Avs they don't have a lot in the pipeline at rd and Manson is breaking down. Manson has one more year left at a 4.5 hit but 3.5 real money. If they traded SJ for Manson its effectively like the Hawks traded SJ after (most of) his signing bonus is paid because the Avs are no longer on the hook for Manson.

I don’t know how much that matters to competitive teams anymore tbh.

Just IMO, but with most contenders at the cap it is the cap hit and not the real $ that significantly impacts the trade value.

IMO, SJ has significant value at $7M if he'd waive his NMC. Would think that COL or DAL would be looking for an upgrade on the blueline.
