Update on the Freidman post:
"The problem is Panarin’s known this kind of money was available from the Blue Jackets for at least a year. So, unless his position on staying changes in the last hours before July 1, it’s unlikely. I wrote earlier, “The expected outcome is Panarin and Semyon Varlamov to the Islanders (Panarin at seven years, between $11-12M).” Since that was published, a few people reached out to indicate that they think Panarin is getting $12.5M or close to it, wherever he goes. The Rangers are not inclined to get there, but multiple sources indicated Colorado offered it, albeit on a shorter term. Crazy times."

14 minutes. If $ is all that matters to Panarin, he takes the deal. If not he is likely a Ranger tomorrow AM.

Why does he only have 14 minutes to sign with CBJ? Panarin controls the market, can call his shot.
They can't give him the 8th year beyond that point. If he was willing to sign there, he would have done so already.

after midnight he can only get 7 years from anyone...prior to midnight columbus can give him an 8th year.

8 year extension off the table once it's 00:00:01 July 1st. If they can't get it done at 8 years $96M-$100M, they're not getting it done at 7 years $84M-$88M
 
When there’s a question of a player, no matter how skilled, fitting a team both in timing and position and that player is UFA and there are half a dozen teams in on him... the best bet is to walk away.

A huge mistake is the only outcome. Term. Money. For what? A talented player yes... but not the center we desperately need. Not the prime, elite #1 D. A VERY skilled winger.

This isn’t even a debate in the poker game that Gorts plays.
