What thread on this board hasn't turned into a thread about the Leafs...

Our BBQ and BoJangles threads.

 

[Borsig]

Svech was on sale.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Couturier just signed for the exact same contract. Svech setting the market.

 

[cptjeff]

You can do both now, old man.

But I lold anyway.

I mean, you always could. Back in the day you could get banks to mail your canceled checks back. Now get off my lawn.

 

[VAcaniac]

This deal makes me love Svech even more.

 

[Joe McGrath]

I think I said $7.5 for 8 was about right so price is right rules, I win.

 

[DaveG]

If the rumor is true…my guess would be $7.75M x 8, which would be surprising, considering most Canes fans have been expecting a bridge.

I’ve been expecting a Laine-type deal, $6.75M by 2-3yrs.

Close, but Spock here gets the trip to the wheel spin.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

The amazing thing is that even this year it's a good deal. Once the new TV money starts kicking in and revenues normalize? This has the potential to be absolutely ridiculous in only 2-3 seasons.

Yeah we could see similar caliber players to him in 2-3 seasons getting $11-12M+ if the cap goes up and if Svech takes the jump forward we all hope/expect.

We broke @Bunch of Jurcos

Couturier just signed for the exact same contract. Svech setting the market.

Somewhat different mechanics, though. Couturier, entering his age 29 season, traded the maximum possible salary that he could get on the open market in exchange for an 8-year term. Svech, entering his age 21 season, agreed to buy out 4 UFA years in exchange for a higher salary now. I think that both contracts are good for all sides.

If we mention Marner love Bojangles and Eastern NC BBQ they'll come

No he gets 100 out of Bob Barkers pocket.

@bleedgreen I believe you've got the right of this. He may get as much as $8 million, but I think the Landy contract sort of put a monkey wrench in Svech's agent's arguments. Sure he's 7 years older but has also proven much more. There's a bit of a premium you pay of Svech's youth, but that's hardly more that a million a year IMO. I think this contract comes in at $7.75 - $8 million ACV.

Close second.....

DUNDON SO CHEAP

 

[bleedgreen]

Glad that it’s done, really glad it wasn’t the AAV rumored. We’ll see if he plays to the level of it, which we’ll need because you build through the middle and it can be hard when you pay your wings a lot to pay two good centers too. We need him to be worth this much, he’s seemed like a good bet.

Lavalette really needs to change his profile picture.

We can just double shift Aho all game

I have not seen much out of Svech's game that has me worried at all about this AAV for 8 years. Put it this way, I'd much, much rather have this deal than be stuck with the one that Dougie signed. This deal has 'buy low' written all over it.

I don’t disagree but you have an interesting interpretation of “buying low”. We didn’t get any discounts here. He just didn’t sign for what some random Russian dude made up and tweeted.

It seems high right now, but I fully expect Svech to break out in the next couple seasons, and when he does, this is going to be an absolute bargain of a contract.

$7.75m isn't a buy low. Locking that price in for 8 years, in my opinion, is.

 

[mikeyfan]

Love it, Now to work a deal with ST. Louis where we send Gardiner, prospects and/or draft picks for Tank.

 

[Svechhammer]

Love it, being lectured by someone from New Bern on what the Raleigh demographic is really like

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Lavalette really needs to change his profile picture.

Nah, it's associated with him now. Easy to spot his tweets when you're scrolling through feeds. If he changes it, he gets passed over/ignored

 

[sheriff bart]

I hope Dundon is able to still feed his family

 

[Brock Anton]

We got lucky that Svech had a down season, otherwise we're probably looking ar $9M+ for this contract. If I were the FO, I'd be doing everything in my power to get Necas done this summer.
