IIRC I'm pretty sure he was difficult for Holland to sign two years ago after a 33 point season..

He has arbitration rights now but his agent is smart enough to know that he has no leverage right now. I think he signs a 1 year deal knowing he can cash in on Mcdavids wing.

Maybe he does sign a one year deal that isn't too bad, but if he does cash in on McDavids wing, I dont think it'll be a very team friendly deal after that..
Like I said its tbd, but from what I remember Holland had a tough time dealing with him and his agent after a 33 point career high season, now he has a 30 goal 54 point season in the bag and if he does well on this team next year, I dont see the negotiations getting any easier..

Thats a rather basic and simplistic was to look at things without any regard to what the contract could look like..
You have to pay good players. Yes, it's that simple. There's no such thing as a free lunch in the NHL.
You're welcome to going back to enjoying the Chiarelli era where we just had sh*t players that were a boat anchor for McDavid and Draisaitl and paying the likes of Lucic $6 million and we didn't have to worry about paying anyone because the team had 2 good players total.
The only trade that was really going to happen was a 1st, Yamamoto and Samorukov for Rakell by HFOil fans playing NHL20.
As Don Cherry puts it, same sh*t, different kind of pieu. Won't change a thing. Draisaitl's got this locked up barring injuries.

Why are all of your posts dumb nonsense?

Why didn't the Sharks take anything, a 7th whatever, and let Joe Thornton move somewhere else? That seemed kinda disrespectful to me, guy isn't going to likely have another shot at winning a Cup.

I'm fine with paying good players, but I'm not a fan of paying a guy for the 20 point boost they get playing with the best player in the league.. Which is what I'd expect to happen if AA thrives on a line with McDavid based on the prior difficulties he gave Holland in contract negotiations
That applies to any one that plays with McDavid or Draisaitl. Think Zack Kassian is getting 3+ mill playing with Haas and Sheahan?
If Athansiou fits into our top 6, I'm happy with paying him accordingly. If he wants some exorbitant amount, guess what it'll be because he had a great season and worse comes to worse that means he has likely high trade value.

Rebooting myself
Depending on the source, Jumbo Joe had only a few teams he would go to and they were not interested
Just seems kinda weird to me. Shit, we would've taken him, why not give it a shot somewhere for a few months. You can stay retired in San Jose for the next 40 years.

So if everything works out and AA produces lets say 35G 35A on McDavids wing next year, you have zero problem signing him to a 7x7 contract per say?
