More stories today. Working out on ice together:
Honestly, I think the comparables are too transparent for the deals not to get done. Like Seider isn't getting $9M and with Faber signing the deal he signed, he's not getting much less if any less than Faber. We're talking a range of 500-750k.
Raymond isn't going to blow Jarvis out of the water on his deal nor is he going to break much past Tim Stutzle who just recently signed. Also, he's not going to be behind Matty Beniers because he's just got so much more positive track record than Matty.
Honestly, they're going back and forth over a range of around 500-750k annually for both of the players on an 8 year deal.
Raymond's agent may want to push harder and say the cap is going up, but comparables are the name of the game.
My bet is that Seider 8x8.5 and Raymond 8x8.
Maybe you can convince them both to 8x8.25.
Next to Raymond, of courseSeider looks like he bulked up a bit. Or maybe that's just me

I'll laugh equally as hard when nothing happens and people start wondering what Yzerman and staff have done all summer.I will laugh if the whole summer of fretting was for nothing and the contracts are done and will be signed when they arrive at Training Camp.

7 pounds is a lot of muscle to add7 lbs tops.
Raymond's agent apparently commented today that they are not close on a contract.
Where'd you see this?Raymond's agent apparently commented today that they are not close on a contract.
That’s not what he said.Raymond's agent apparently commented today that they are not close on a contract.
And that's not even saying they aren't close. Just that they haven't reached an agreement yet.Ah classic posturing from the agent... not really any benefit to saying they are close and a deal is imminent if they tend to further negotiate term/salary.
Yeah...his comments have to be highly understood by translation. So saying they are not equal just means Raymond doesn't have a signed contract. Any speculation of offers has no context as well. Maybe they offered 3 different deals. One at 3 years/4-5M AAV, another at 5 years and another at 8 years. Zero context at all for any of this other than some reporter wondering why Seider and Raymond are in Mannheim.And that's not even saying they aren't close. Just that they haven't reached an agreement yet.
