I will sing from the rooftops if that's where it comes in at. I think it will be closer to 8x8.5I think we'll end up seeing Guentzel come in at 8.15 to 8.2 million per for 8 years.

Another interesting pick for pick(s) swap before the draft. A bit unusual. I put here because of the Buffalo/Necas rumor.
But... what kind of moron would trade a pick to a pair of lower ones?Sabres just traded their 11th to the Sharks for 14th and 42nd.
But the only real risk of not having Necas next year is if he sits out right? And I can't see him wanting to tank his value like that.If I had to guess, we're waiting to see if the deal for Necas emerges. The return for that deal will determine how much we're working with and what we can offer Jake.
Of course, this leaves the risk of having neither Necas or Jake next year
He was reportedly someone they were after last summerForgive me if it’s been discussed already but Tyler Bertuzzi seems to be a fit. If he can be had around or at the 5.5 he got last season
$9M per. book it.I will sing from the rooftops if that's where it comes in at. I think it will be closer to 8x8.5
8.5 for 8 is already too much. 9 is absurd.$9M per. book it.
Ugh. Someone is going to pay Reinhart for unsustainable career-best performance. Let it not be us.If i’m spending more than 8.5 on Guentzel I’d rather bring out the bag and spend 10.5-11 on Reinhart. Guentzel is a reliable ppg guy and a decent playoff performer but he’s ultimately a complimentary piece to Aho. Reinhart I’d be happy putting him on the 2nd line and let him drive the play from there.
I see Guentzel as a bit more of a proven quantity at his highest end and we have proof of concept here. I'd easily take Jake in that scenario.If i’m spending more than 8.5 on Guentzel I’d rather bring out the bag and spend 10.5-11 on Reinhart.

Do you see him getting 12-12.5 on the market? Almost 60 goals and almost 100 points in his contract year will definitely get him solid offers, but he’s a beast and has been exactly ppg if you average his last three years. I maintain that we could probably outbid Florida while staying at a respectable number, but he will definitely get wild offers out there from teams with more cap and if he bag chases that’s just how it is.Ugh.

I don’t think that’s unfair. I like Reinhart’s size and solo game changing ability and view those as cons purely when measured up against the idea of reaching overpayment territory for Guentzel. I’ve got more reservations about hitting higher dollar for Guentzel just cause his size and complimentary play also comes with the context of our top 6.I see Guentzel as a bit more of a proven quantity at his highest end and we have proof of concept here. I'd easily take Jake in that scenario.

Buffalo or NJ, step right on up!Good luck to whoever gives Reinhart $10M+. That has terrible idea written all over it.
I was going to disagree, then I saw he shot 24.5% this year which is flat out absurd.Good luck to whoever gives Reinhart $10M+. That has terrible idea written all over it.
