Speculation: Raymond Seider Contract Speculation

[better Red than Dead]

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

I should have stated the “later” Holland years, the 2000’s

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Good thing some of y'all were wringing your hands in worry. Made all the difference.

In other words, we will announce it this afternoon ha

Take us home Steve.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

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

Obviously to each their own. But the deal got done before the season and it's a very good deal. There's not cause for concern.

My main point was even if they ended up right about where everyone thought they would, that doesn't mean they could've just done it on day 1. That's not how negotiations typically work. Especially not ones involving 8 years of someone's life and $64 million.

If they aren't terribly far apart, then a deal is imminent before pre season. Even if he misses training camp. Not at all worried. Let's go wings!

Yup.

Negotiations are a bitch up until an agreement is made. For Raymond’s deal, I’d imagine that this very agreement has been on the table for months. But neither Yzerman nor Raymond’s agent had any impetus to show their hand.

 

[izlez]

Wait... training camp only lasts for 4 days??

Excuse me for shifting my goalposts a bit, but now I firmly don't give a toot if Seider were to miss it. I was thinking it was like 2.5 weeks long like in the NFL and I was kind of on the fence of maybe caring a little bit.

I'd wager they were asking around 8.2-8.3 and Yzerman wanted 7.9 and they finally caved and met in the middle

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Yzerman says Seider and Raymond both are still on their old work VISA's and should be relatively easy to get them renewed.

Said if Seider dragged out and his VISA expired, then it would take longer to get it updated.

Here's the full Yzerman interview. I thought it was pretty insightful

when people talk about "camp" they're usually talking about stuff like preseason too whatever the technical definition of "training camp" is, I know I certainly mean both of those when I say "camp"

 

[odin1981]

Sometime over the next 1-3 days for Seider.

 

[RedHawkDown]

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

This is quite a bad argument. This means you also shouldn’t be happy about anything the team does as you are 100% ignorant either way. To have any emotion in response to the teams actions is foolish as you are not an NHL player or executive.

 

[lilidk]

Whatever it takes as long as possible please

Id argue having an emotion in response to unsigned players during the offseason/training camp is foolish.

Just let the process playout and be happy/upset when they sign/actually miss games.

Who is seiders agent?

Who is seiders agent?

The Turtle himself ha

 

[SirloinUB]

What if…. Everything is fine ?

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

What if it’s not and everything is on fire?

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

I will not stand for this erasure. If you're going to post this one... why not the original "Ain't nobody got time for that?"

For shame.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Whats the max term we can offer Seider?

 

[jaster]

Whats the max term we can offer Seider?
