Speculation: Raymond Seider Contract Speculation

[better Red than Dead]

Well the good news is at least Yzerman drafted two players who are worth max contracts, what a change from the Holland years.

Why did it take this long to get what pretty much everyone thought he'd get at 8x8 done?

What did it taking this long hurt?

Nothing.

Because Yzerman would have liked a lower cap hit and Raymond would have liked a higher one. With training camp about to begin, they settled their differences.

Ray, bring Mo back with you.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Great deal, under the 8.125 I was seeing most often for him.

When's the last time you negotiated a $64 million contract?

8.5x8 for Seider?

Well every time I feed my dog, I do get the feeling it is an intense negotiation.. I also do not win every time

I bet you would have gotten it done by June

Seider will now come in at same as Larkin's 8.7mil.

 

[odin1981]

Great deal that will age well as he enters his prime.

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

False dichotomy. Every other team this summer got their young stars signed by now, all of which have been solid contracts fair for both parties.

These bad faith arguments get old quick.

You can be annoyed. But honestly, until they miss games, it's meaningless. And between this post and now, Raymond signed at 8x8.075.

Raymond's contract actually seemed like the thornier one, so I'm even more confident they're both taken care of.

It would be nice to get rid of Copp, or Holl's contract and give Seider his long term bag.

Last Wednesday.

But that was a dream, and then I woke up! Really wasn't that hard of negotiations I have to say.

Seider will get 8 years without either of those 2 meaning anything to the deal.

The good news is those guys will be gone once we have to pay someone like Edvinsson, Kasper, Danielson or MBN. Hopefully we got a couple more high end contracts to give out then.

8 defansman and 3 goaltenders, someone needs to go

I haven’t, but I’ve also never filmed a movie either yet I’m permitted to go to the movies and say I didn’t like what I just saw.

I texted Stevie earlier and told him that, and that he better get Seider done by tomorrow morning.

Those two things aren’t analogous.

A hockey game is the movie. You’re complaining about how long it took for CAA and Paramount to negotiate Tom Cruise’s deal.

If I were invested financially and emotionally in the later, then what’s the issue with voicing concern over it?

Just like Datsyuk, Zetterberg, and Franzen weren't worth max contracts.

Nothing. You would be voicing concern over something you are 100% ignorant about in both cases.
