Speculation: Roster Building Thread LV: One More Day

[Tob]

Before 12 tomorrow I believe.

I remember it being 12AM when Tavares was going down to the final hour the night before and NYI fans saying "Well, he could still sign with us for 7 years"

 

[NYR94]

Panthers projected cap space right now is $25-million. Minus $10-million per for Bobrovsky is $15-mil. Minus let's say $3-million for Connolly is $12-million left. Signing Panarin to these rumored amounts puts them right up to or above the cap, plus they still have their RFAs to re-sign. Must be why there's that rumored Hoffman to Buffalo trade.

 

[bobbop]

No one wants Panarin more than me, but $13MM? I’m afraid I’ll have to pass.

Jake Gardner May be getting a piece of that.

Not only is 13 million a factor here, its the ability to go to 8 years.

Unless he really, really, REALLY doesn't want to stay in Columbus, Lou is going to have to at least match that dollar figure, if not exceed it.

G'luck with that.

8 years by Columbus is only good until midnight tonight. Anything after that is a max of 7 years, including CBJ.

 

[Stasis]

If we’re spending 13 mil it should be on AHO

Man I don't have that kinda dough for one night.

Yeah they have time to hammer that out.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I'm as big a fan of Panarin as anyone but paying him more than McDavid and possibly Marner is ridiculous!!

 

[Trxjw]

Gonna love that lockout.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Gonna love that lockout.

Cliff notes:

Offer is believed to be somewhere between 96-100 mill over 8 years.

Rangers did circle back with Panarin's camp tonight.

 

[bl02]

Wow thought it would be Edmonton or Montreal. Zucc is clearly far in the rear view mirror

 

[Anzi]

So I guess that 13 mil number is coming from CBJ. I guess its pretty much down to money vs lifestyle.

Thats funny, I was told over and over again that we wouldnt even be interested. That JD and company said this and that.

But here we are and they are circling back.

Hopefully to say "enjoy that money, we're out."

 

[Kovalev27]

So portzline implying Rangers haven’t given up here yet. Still communicating.

Interesting

Yeah I think after hearing the money being thrown around, we're probably out.

You wonder what took them this long to pony up. Maybe they had some hope Duchene would come back? Either way, this is great news for AP, he's going to get paaaiiiidddd.

Theofanus is ****ing DANCING right now.

Do agents have their own little professional association annual awards/banquet thing? Because he's agent of the year.

 

[Kovalev27]

But here we are and they are circling back.

Right? Remember when there was zero evidence we were in this and I was crazy saying we’d be all in? This is all in. All in doesn’t mean blank check of course but we’re obviously making a significant offer or offers

 

[bl02]

Does anyone feel that if Panarin gets 12.5ish Marner is really gonna want in the 12-13 million range?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Right? Remember when there was zero evidence we were in this and I was crazy saying we’d be all in? This is all in. All in doesn’t mean blank check of course but we’re obviously making a significant offer or offers

All in is doing what Columbus is doing.

 

[LORDE]

Funny because I recall hearing we would be interested but ONLY at our price. Weird.

 

[Pugs35]

Portzline is just citing the McKenzie tweet when he talks about the Rangers though.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Yeah I think after hearing the money being thrown around, we're probably out.

I'm guessing the Rangers circled back, which explains Bobby Mac's tweet. They got wind of the CBJ offer, and that's where Shannon's tweet comes in.

 

[Priorae]

Keep in mind the owner is getting his face rubbed in feces right now. A crazy bid wouldn't shock me.
