Sam Bennett: Contract Negotiations

[Ratsreign]

Pay the man

If he stays, I’ll guess half way between what Verhaeghe and Reinhart got. So I’ll say give or take around 7.8125per. Ideally at this point, he gets an identical contract that Verhaeghe got. Can’t justify paying him Reinhart money and certainly not more, but he’s getting over 7. If we can retain him as our 2nd line center and Ekblad on the top pairing, which keeps jones on the 2nd longterm, would be incredible for us longterm.

Between the ownership group, the GM, the coaching (and rest of the staff), having Barkov, Reinhart, tkachuk, Verhaeghe, Lundell, Forsling, and jones longterm. South Florida. No state income tax. State of the art practice facility in FTL. proven track record in the playoffs. We’re a premiere destination finally. Players would kill to play here now. I think those pending ufa’s would take a cut to stay, how much is the only question

One thing’s for sure: Benny has no motivation to outdo Reino or Swaggy. That’s not a driver. It doesn’t matter.

Therefore, he’ll get 8x$7.5M, and he’ll take it.

And I think that’s a completely reasonable deal and I’d like to think he takes that. If Samo gets 2.75per on a 2 or 3yr bridge. A backup G for 1mil, a 4th line center for 0.85mil and 1 mil for a 6th D, we’d have 13.4 mil remaining for Bennett and Ekblad. We could give Ekblad what Forsling got at 5.75 and Bennett would get the remaining 7.65. Then bob becomes a free agent the following year and takes something cheaper to offset the cost of resigning Mikkola. The raising annual cap should cover luostarinen when he becomes a ufa in 2yrs. It’s feasible to keep the team together. I just don’t see us retaining marchy, as amazing as that’d be

Or let Ek go and keep Marchy

I wasn’t being facetious before when saying we LTIR Chucky. If we make the Finals, that will extend His surgery. If the rumors are true that it can be a 6-8 month recovery, why it sit him for the season? Most likely we will lose Marchand, but it may be an option.
