I fixed it. Typo started saying 8x5 (like 8 million for five years and instead reflected the total for some reason, but didn't move the years number).
Not that simple.
But I don't understand why anybody would think Detroit would be willing to pay him $9M a year. If it's public that Ottawa is taking him to arbitration to try to get his AAV down to $7.65M, why would the Wings pay significantly more?
I dont know what your talking about regarding marchessault and his size
Nothing wrong with preferring one player/prospect over another. I was just refuting something as being completely impossible.
Cant see us winning a cup with debrincat and larkin on the top line and short wingers on both top 6 lines . No clue what's on the left yet but buchelnikov is there I believe if he makes it
Dude, people will say that guys like Raymond can't be part of the future core. Way too many here deem 24 as when a player's career is basically over. They're like "if you're not gonna win in three years, you might as well trade Raymond". You may as well rebuild the rebuild if you don't have your core after their ELCs expire.
If you look up DeBrincat's metrics he is not as one dimensional as fans here think. He isn't a Selke winner but he's not abysmal defensively. +/- on bad teams doesn't tell the whole story.
Because a team is committing financial malfeasance if they're not trying to get the AAV way down in Arbitration. Like for TyBert and Vrana, the Wings offered like 2-3m to them each in the years when they got 4-5M at the end. Team always shoots very artificially low (but somewhat reasonable by the shittiest comparable) and the player artificially high (but somewhat reasonable by the high-end comparable).
Your right, larkin should be dealt on draft weekend
Yep. So why would Yzerman go any higher than that? He's normally even stronger on negotiations than Dorian.
I think this is pretty dead on. We were all expecting a 30-40 goal scorer because that's what a lot of the analysts/scouts were saying, but for some reason he just kept falling in his draft.
I am pretty confident, obviously could be wrong, but pretty confident that they elected for arbitration to extend the life of his RFA signing status. So, by adding the extra month, they have the ability to still do a sign and trade past the usual deadline to have whatever team trades for him be able to get the 8 years for him still. If the RFA window for resigning ended and they didn't do a QO, they would lose him for nothing and he walks. If they signed him to a 1 year deal to keep him afloat before they trade him later in the summer, then whatever team that trades for him has to have a lower cap situation to eat the 7.65-9 mil contract.
He also was trying to fight seider that one time. Yes, it was laughable because seider scoffed at him, BUT he didn't back down right???? Right???? am I right???
I would put kubalik on the first, then killorn on the second if anything.
i did just read on twitter that someone claimed yzerman has the ability to grind another gm down as much as humanly possible and the other gm usually just says "here is my final im done" and it usually works in yzerman's favor or he doesn't like what he heard so he just backs off for another day.
