The point is, he didn't take a paycut.
He did.
Because his estimated value was ~400k higher than 8.7M.
The point is, he didn't take a paycut.
Still multiple of scenarios for reasons to wait.
A) Raymond waiting for what Jarvis will get. That will affect on his caphit.
B) Yzerman wanting to bridge or go shorter term either of the guys, but doesn't know which one. Is ok with either one. Who will blink first? Like, if Raymond takes 5 years, Seider will get 8, or other ways.
C) Yzerman waiting for some trade-scenario, to still fix the team. And if he has to add cap load, it will affect on those Raymond/Seider terms. Maybe he'll cut both then to 5 years, and has to keep that option open.
If there's no such a trade scenario, after this waiting period, he'll sign them for 7-8 years.
But at first you have to wait for. See what happens. Some teams have problems to be solved. You couldn't predict the UFA-market, Edmonton offer-sheets or Askarov-market at April etc. Things will happen, which are unpredictable.
Reason for waiting could be to keep all those scenarios open, even for unpredictable scenarios.
I thought we only have 18 million to sign Seider, Raymond and Berggren, or I missing something..Larkin has same kind of structure. 10+11+10 million for first 3 years.
MSN Yep, sure looks like we're ready for the season...

Copp get traded?
can't believe seider and raymond are missing all these games going on right nowExcuse after excuse - you have had all damn summer.
can't believe seider and raymond are missing all these games going on right now
It will be nice to see one of Danielson or Berggren have some games on the top line , but I hope Seider doesn't miss any gamescan't believe seider and raymond are missing all these games going on right now
He still didn't say he took a paycut thoughHe did.

While possible, but I doubt ANYONE wearing the Winged Wheel this season will make more than Larkin.I put on a tinfoil hat just now and thought to myself
What if Mo and Ray are asking for 9+ each and we have to clear space before they're signed? And that's where the SJ Sharks future consideration comes in, where they eat Holl or Petry or someone of that statures caphit so Steve can get the kids contracts done.
Just a thought.
source on this? Only thing I have read is that he indicated that he will take paycuts in the future.
He did.

Haha.Y'all see the article about Raymond possibly being traded to VGK?
Red Wings Plan Blockbuster Trade: Lucas Raymond to Vegas Knights
The Detroit Red Wings face pressure as they have yet to sign RFA forward Lucas Raymond and defenseman Moritz Seider with training camps approaching. A proposedbvmsports.com
This is getting out of control. Are people just bored? That is so outlandish.

Bridge deals just make no sense for the players here. Get paid while you’re worth 8M a year, don’t risk injuries and all the other things that could negatively affect your value, you’ll have one more contract in your lower 30s and you know GMs love paying for what you’ve done, not what you’ll do.While possible, but I doubt ANYONE wearing the Winged Wheel this season will make more than Larkin.
That said I could see both signing bridge deals and then getting more than Larkin with a long term contract.

The thing is, are they worth $8M a year though?Get paid while you’re worth 8M a year
What would you view as more likely:The thing is, are they worth $8M a year though?
Seider has been consistent, but we need him to take steps offensively and add more points as well as being even stronger defensively. I think in Seider's case it would make sense to offer the long term deal.
In Raymond's case he has been trending up, but defensively still ways to go and should one better season after his good rookie year and sophomore slump be enough in his position to demand such money and for Detroit to give that money? It's a bigger risk than with Seider I think, and would rather see him been given 3-year deal than 8 at the moment. And if Yzerman doesn't want to commit to 8, then it needs to be like 5-6 which is a risk on both ends. Raymond could not live up to deal or Detroit could end up losing him earlier if he wants to test market elsewhere.
Taking into account other contracts and with the cap right now I'd value Seider at 8.75-9.25 and Raymond as 8.5-9 over 8 years. With Berggren there is just not enough cap space. The bad but logical outcome would be bridge deals.
