Puck Pedia has Brown signed at 1x1?

1m is really good. Less than I thought. Maybe JJ playing hardball worked out.

Good deal if so. Probably gets paid a lot more the following year (here or elsewhere)

 

[Dazed and Confused]

That Reinhart extension is ridiculously good.
I gotta admit, it pisses me off that these Florida teams are always getting the discount deals because of their location and tax advantages.

Edmonton and Colorado are likely happy with this.

This deal should set the market for the tier just below Drai and Rantanen.

No for one simple reason. Florida has no State Tax.

Would be nice to get him on a 1 year deal low amount, coming off an injury where he can cash out if things go well.

Nice.

Weirdly enough, if they can get a healthy season out of Brown, he might actually be worth the 4.25 he'll be counting against the cap this season

if that Debbie Downer Rishaug tweet is true, could be a bad/quiet day for us.

Starting to dislike Rishaug on days like today.

How was it Debbie Downer? He literally said they're looking at a top 6 winger and to re-sign a few of their own.

1m is really good. Less than I thought. Maybe JJ playing hardball worked out.

I was saying yesterday that he'd likely sign cheap because he's already getting the bonus money, plus he wants to be here. Seemed like a no brainer that this would get done.

I read it as expect the Oilers to be very quiet today.

I want to go into days like today with an open mind and a bit excited, not being disappointed.

Glad Brown is signed. Now for Janmark, Perry and any other depth pieces. So long as we don't overpay.

 

[Frank the Tank]

No for one simple reason. Florida has no State Tax.

BriseBois was even openly bragging about that in an article. I'm hoping public slips of the tongue like that will eventually be used against these teams.

 

[Oilhawks]

Funny to see Reinhart and Guentzel sign below value on the two Florida teams. But we’re told by some that no state tax doesn’t matter

 

[smokersarejokers]

Good deal for Brown. Nice to have a former agent negotiating these things. The guide and record book would have told Kenny 2 x 2M.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Funny to see Reinhart and Guentzel sign below value on the two Florida teams. But we’re told by some that no state tax doesn’t matter

I think it’s something like an 8mill deal in Florida makes you more money than a 10mill deal almost anywhere else.

[Canovin]

Biggest win of a signing of them all.

 

[smokersarejokers]

Glad we didn't give Carrick that NYR deal. Good for him though.

I'm not sure I'd call Guentzel "below value".

 

[Heavy Dee]

It's odd Puck Pedia has the Brown signing but no one else has mentioned it.

 

[FlameChampion]

Bag of cash in a Bugatti in Turks and Caiko as part of this deal.

 

[Wreckus]

Yea that seems insane.

 

[Oilhawks]

I'm not sure I'd call Guentzel "below value".

I think it’s too rich of a deal, but I’m not as big on the player as some. That said, does he sign in Canada for less than $10M?

 

[Canovin]

The Devils are going to be good if Hughes can stay healthy

 

[Paralyzer]

I think we will be in for a big surprise on the signings. Just seems like we won't overpay and will hold our powder dry until someone is willing to negotiate closer to our terms. I have faith in Jackson. I think he will surprise us all.
