Dreger: Speculation that Panarin asking price is just over $12 million a season

[Chardo]

I would rather give a Marner at 22 years old 5 years then a Panarin 5-7 years. At the same Aav. But as a devils fan if he would take 5 years at 11. It ends the rebuild and starts the playoff years.

So would everyone. But unlike Marner, Panarin only costs money.

 

[TorontoTrades]

Hell settle at something like 7x10.25

 

[Nocashstyle]

Is this the guy who flaps like a bird
He's good

No, that would be Kuznetsov. He’s also good tho

 

[ffh]

What would I rather have?

A) Mitch Marner at 11 million

B) Panarin at 12 million plus 4 first rounders each of which can be as good as Mitch Marner

Most of HF would unironically prefer option B

people over estimate the offer sheet. Toronto wouldn't even think twice about not giving marner 11aav. it would have to be about 20% of cap for them to think about letting him go. which is why offersheets don't work. who would be willing to give up 20% of cap and 4 1sts. not to many teams.

 

[AvsCOL]

$12+ is absolutely insane in my opinion. Panarin is a great player, but come on...

 

[Rivet52]

Why would he come down anytime soon? He sets the price and let the market play out. It takes one GM wanting to add an elite top line player and he has his money. He is going to end up around 11 million without a doubt.

Because I don’t think any GM thinks he’s worth McDavid money and I don’t think he’ll get it. If you think he’ll get $11 million per year, he most certainly came down and met there.

If he stays at an asking price of a $12 million AAV and doesn’t come down, I think he’s going to be waiting for a while before realizing no GM is going to give him that. I love the player but that’s a couple million too much.

 

[Hale The Villain]

And cue everyone going crazy by mistaking an asking price for a line-in-the-sand salary demand

Panarin asks for 12M+ hoping to get 11M, which is probably fair market value.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Imma tell you what Wu told me, cash rulez everything, around me, singing dollah dollah bill's yall! Singing Dollah dollah bill's yall!

With that said, GTFO Panarin!

 

[NewLife]

Can't think of anyone offer him that much.

 

[Hire Sather]

not worth it, no player outside of McDavid is

2 or 3 million too high

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Is this the guy who flaps like a bird
He's good

No, that's Chris Anderson.

 

[Kamina]

Bread man gets paid

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Man. These idiot GMs have shot themselves in the foot with the term and magnitude of the contracts handed out in past years.

people always say this but teams always manage to get out of it. You only get in trouble when you give big contracts to scrubs like Lucic or Bolland. Paying big money for good players is fine.

 

[boredmale]

All of a sudden 10M for Duchene doesn't seem so bad. lol

 

[Multigrain]

If he wants 12 what does Mitch want?

 

[tradenashnow]

Thank the Flyers imbecile GM for paying a 45 point center 7 million.

 

[Shad]

12 mil and will only sign in two places. Character

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

All of a sudden 10M for Duchene doesn't seem so bad. lol

Yes it does. Panarin is easily six fifths of the player that Duchene is.

Certainly many of us Flyers fans would rather have paid Panarin 12$m than Hayes. Not that I think Philly was ever really a live option for Panarin.

No thats koko b. Ware

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I'll be shocked if he gets 12

 

[Syckle78]

Meh figured it was a foregone conclusion he'd get around 11.5.

 

[Get North]

Build a team like the Raptors, not the Warriors. Why would you pay this much for a player who has never got past the 2nd round in the playoffs. Kucherov got 9.5 and I know he was a RFA, Radulov got 6.25 2 years ago and the cap went up by 7-8M.

10M for a 5'11 winger who hasn't got past the 2nd round and only contributes offensively is a good way to ensure never winning a cup again.

Fold.
