not that the offer sheet is reality, montreal would have 8 million in space with Price on LTIR.MTL doesn't have the cap space after the Laine signing.
And Detroit would match that on day 7 after going radio silent for a week just because they can. So it doesn't matter what the compensation is in 2025. Because the Habs retain those picks and don't get Raymond.As a Habs fan i would Offer sheet Raymond.

I’d trade Copp for Suzuki.I’d trade Caufield for Raymond
oh, i know. i was just attempting to get a rise out of montreal fansCall me crazy... Demidov may have a ton of hype now that Montreal grabbed him but Ray is 70 point, 22 year old and you know what your getting with him. I won't pretend to know a ton about Demidov but I'm keeping the sure thing at this stage.
I think Stevie takes the 4 1sts if it's Montreal making the offer.There isn't an offer anyone could make Detroit doesn't match that isn't completely stupid. I think they might even consider matching at 11.5M despite the four firsts.
He's not worth that amount right now but on a long term deal, he absolutely will be imo.

Lol, I bet you would.
Honestly, from my third-party POV, Raymond is the most important piece on the DRW roster. Seider is second, and Larkin is third.
I absolutely love that kids game. He's going to get a lot better.

I’m not sure how that’s relevant to the real world though?

Seider is far more important than Ray. Seider logs all the hard minutes on the blueline and Detroit would be way worse off if Mo was gone and Ray was the only one left. Larkin is the most important piece overall and if you watch Detroit for any length of time it is painfully clear the difference the team has if he is out or playing hurt.
Contenders dont have the cap and bottom feeders dont want to give up the picks.$8,580,251 to $10,725,314
for 4 years
Comp: 1st, 1st, 2nd, 3rd
That's the 'sweet spot' that makes DET think twice, as it brings him straight to UFA. No one will offer it though.

Wings fans, if each of Raymond and Seider got offer-sheeted, which guy would get prioritized in retaining, and what would be each guy's walking price? Thanks.
Gun to my head, Seider is probably more important, but not by much. Losing Raymond would hurt the team big time. It would take whatever the price that gets you four 1sts would be.Wings fans, if each of Raymond and Seider got offer-sheeted, which guy would get prioritized in retaining, and what would be each guy's walking price?

Hmm very valid point, with a prospect pool like that you guys could easily shed someone like Copp (and you've already dumped Walman this offseason) and afford to match without batting an eye, when there's prospects ready to fit most roles (Kasper for C, ASP for RHD, Wallinder/ Johannson for LHD).Both would be prioritized equally and you’re probably looking upwards of 10 million before Detroit even considers not matching in a meaningful way.
Keep in mind they have 17.5 million of cap space and an ability to easily create another 2-3 million if necessary.
