[To Be Determined]

Don't ya think?

"It's the good advice you just didn't take".

Well now that's just idiotic.

"It's the good advice you just didn't take".

Well now that's just idiotic.

Moronic, even.

 

[DaveG]

that's lower than expected for aav

Really? I thought whoever paid him 6 would be idiots

 

[ElmCityGuy]

I wasn't aware of the thing that is "wharrgarbl". Now I am. It is a bit sad that my life is genuinely fuller now that it was just moments ago.

Well I was aware of the word but it's just tough to work into everyday conversation with a friend or co-worker... sort of like "Gonorrhea".

I don't know... the older I get, there more aware I become of the existence of persons in this world who could most aptly be described as "warts-onna-dick".

Nurse got 9.25....

 

[DaveG]

Nurse got 9.25....

and it's the worst contract in Hockey, though Bob is back to making that argument as well tonight

 

[Unsustainable]

I keep forgetting Corey Perry is still a player

 

[Stickpucker]

It's like drafting the Aho of your dreams and then seeing his beautiful beautiful Finnish cousin.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Glad we didn't bite on Hronek, he fed off being with Hughes the same way TDA was able to thrive being sheltered by Slavin...feels a bit OEL 2.0. I'd much rather have Necas @ $7.25M than Hronek (of course that saga is still ongoing so who knows).

 

[CandyCanes]

If correct, that's a nice lil hometown discount by Slavin.

 

[A Star is Burns]

If correct, that's a nice lil hometown discount by Slavin.

That would be amazing

 

[Lucky Lindy]

If correct, that's a nice lil hometown discount by Slavin.

Yes please!

 

[WreckingCrew]

I'd prefer 6x$6.5M but basically the Staal treatment, 2 extra years to bring down the AAV and get to retirement

 

[CandyCanes]

Those final 2 years or so have the potential to look bad. But we’re going to get really good value the first 5-6 seasons of this contract if Friedman’s numbers are correct.

You also imagine in 7-8 years, the cap has risen at least 25-35%, so this contract won’t hurt as bad if he tails off.

Overall I’d give this deal an A grade still.

6 years from now 6.5m for Slavin will not look bad at all. Between the cap increase and his style of play whatever drop off he has will be nullified cost wise.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

6 years from now that contract will be what 5th defenders will get.

Food for thought:

I wonder if it is presumptuous to think that as the cap rises over the next 10 years, that small market teams will continue to spend to the cap.

Of course, if much of the cap rise is covered by League revenues then it won’t matter.

However, if not, then the large market teams with their significant revenue advantages will slowly but surely again have a personnel advantage.

 

[robbieberns]

I’m less worried about Slavin at that money those last couple of years because unlike Burns, Slavin shouldn’t be playing top pairing minutes if Nikishin pans out how he should.

Thats an interesting thought. It hasn't happened in the NFL yet but they have an almost complete revenue sharing model with very few exceptions (I think the Cowboys merch is the only thing not shared) and the NFL's TV deals are something like 75% of the leagues total income.



Edit: I just looked it up the NFL shares TV deals and merch 100%. Ticket revenue goe 60% to the home team 40% to the away team everything else is kept by the teams that earn it (IE advertising, stadium profits if they own it, ect.)

So Carolina would be max probably 6.25 on long term deals with Pesce and Skjei no way they would pay them more then what Slavin is getting.

I mean they'll look bad in the same way the last couple years of the big Jordo contract was bad. Wasn't great, but we were able to make it work and still remain incredibly competitive.

The cap will be around $90m when this kicks in. It's a great deal from the start, and should only get better even if the cap only rises to $95m when it's done (in all likelihood it'll rise more than that)

Some would call that a gentleman's contract

 

[CandyCanes]

Thoughts on a Skjei 8x6.5M deal as well?
