Rumor: Rantanen Extension is Close???

[AvsFan4]

About time, it's by far the most important piece of business remaining in the offseason

Please don’t disrespect our Lord and savior LOC. (Please also try to sign him to an extension CMac).

[Balthazar]

7x11

Jesus, that's very optimistic.

Are you the new Sea Eagle?

 

[The Moops]

Please be a sign and trade

 

[the_fan]

8 x 12,599,999.99

Overpaid by .99

 

[Raucherhusten]

If it's under 12, i'll welcome him back.

If it's over the "MacCap", i'll kill the bastard myself.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

It has to be less than Nate's cap hit, ideally below 12M

 

[LOFIN]

Under 12 is discount. Over MacK is overpay. 12x8 is good for 96

 

[Vaslof]

Please don’t disrespect our Lord and savior LOC. (Please also try to sign him to an extension CMac).

Especially since he'll be our 1st line RW if we don't re-sign Rants.

 

[Grigowski]

Just hopefully less than 13 and ideally under 12.

Said it in another thread. Everything that starts with a 12 would i consider as "too much".

Again, my personal opinion.

And no way he gets more than Mac from ther AVS. And he knows that.

 

[VikingAv]

I hope it's 8 years. Anything to keep the AAV down, even just a little bit.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

$11,969,969 x 8 years.

Full NMT.

 

[missionAvs]

He's signing for the Duchene cap and my a cent more.

 

[MaKarter]

Sakic called Lehky's dad and ask for his approval.

Mikko's been working hard enough this off-season for the new deal.

 

[LTCPain75]

It's only fair for him to take a $100k discount for every shot wide last season

Subtract another $25K for each stick Big Moose broke over an opponent with a cross-check!

 

[BobRossColton]

It would be a bit "cheeky" if he just took marners contract. 8x10.9

How much money does he owe us?

 

[henchman21]

My expectation is this is done in Sept or Oct just like MacK and Toews. Avs will want to get it done and not worry about it. With where the cap is going, upto 13.5 wouldn't be shocking... but I'd bet the Avs are targeting 11.5. I'd say market is around $13.25 (~14.25% of cap). On an 8 year deal, the traditional 'discount' the Avs have gotten is between .5-1m. That would point squarely to ~12.5m. IMO 12.25-12.5 is the realistic outlook for a discount. Rants wants to push it, $13m is probably as realistically as high as the Avs would go. Anything below $12m is a decent chunk under market.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

If Rantanen makes more than MacK on his next deal I will roundhouse kick myself in the crotch.

 

[LOFIN]

If Rantanen makes more than MacK on his next deal I will roundhouse kick myself in the crotch.

Is this a promise?

 

[Pokecheque]

Please post the footage on here

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Overpaid by .99

This is a bit confusing. Do you mean 99 cents or 99%?

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Is this a promise?

A threat

 

[dahrougem2]

Sometimes you gotta operate a lil' like Vegas and ditch the bad before the bad arrives.

Unfortunately I think the Avs are content becoming the new Pittsburgh Penguins and hoping they can pull a rabbit out they ass ala Penguins 16/17 Cup wins

 

[sethro109]

Maybe the cap will go up a significant amount in 2 years.
