Rumor: Travis Konecny looking for ~10M/Y on a long term deal

[Accelleratii]

"he's their best player" is not the flex he thinks it is. The Flyers stink.

 

[Soul Assumption]

It wouldn't have happened if there were 32 Carolina Hurricanes in the league.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

He'd get paid close to that if teams were allowed to bid on him, II don't think it's crazy. He probably will end up signing a long term deal at $9M if he stays in philly, which I'd consider a slight discount.

Reinhart took a HUGE discount as he could've easily gotten $11M+ on the open market.

 

[Jovavic]

I haven't read this thread yet but has anyone said he's asking for this much because of taxes?

 

[PettersonHughes]

Nothing wrong with drawing an initial line in the sand for contract talks in the middle of summer. The middle of a Wednesday in July might be the perfect time to leak a minor bombshell.

 

[Breakers]

WTF..............

 

[miscs75]

When did Clutterbuck come close to leading his team in scoring by 7 points while playing 21 fewer games than 2nd place?

Such an insulting comparison.

Playstyle, not actual point production. He's a pest/grinder who has the ability to score 60 points a season. That's not a $10m player by any means, especially as a winger. At most he's a $7m player.

Calgary might do something like that. Maybe Anaheim if they need to reach the cap floor.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Me too, Travis.. Me too.

Lmfao

Would be hilarious to go a TK (signed) for Gauthier trade (who's signed now).

(P.S. Not arguing that he'd return Gauthier value-wise, but just funny to think about).

 

[dkollidas]

Is this real life?

 

[FlyguyOX]

Funny Briere said and he TK agent had agreed not to negotiate through the media.

Welp

 

[ManofSteel55]

I wonder if he really expects to get that, or if he just really wants out of Philly. How does he get along with Tortorella?

 

[Imgoingtowork]

Maybe Anaheim if they need to reach the cap floor.

Konecny remains at the Flyers instead.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Is 10 million the going rate for a sub 70 point 1 way winger?

Probably should be in the 7.5 range if going long term.

 

[The Burdened]

Remind me what did Sam Reinhart get again?

 

[crowi]

He should actually get around $7M when considering comparables, but he'll get something around $8M-$8.25M

 

[n8]

Remind me what did Sam Reinhart get again?

Discount aside, I think a lot of people were throwing around a $9.5M AAV as a pre-signing ballpark. Less than $10M

 

[Ignatius]

I don't know if I want to laugh about this now because I think it's ridiculous but I think I would rather laugh later when Philly actually signs him because I'm sure something like this could happen and it would be amazing.

 

[JPeeper]

Calgary might do something like that. Maybe Anaheim if they need to reach the cap floor.

That's the last thing Calgary would do.

 

[Michoulicious]

Gallagher 2.0 situation, but at 10 millions.

 

[Sol]

Just remember guys, Rob Blake paid 8.5m for 8 years for Dubois. There are GMs that stupid.

 

[BlueSeal]

Make the contract performance based and keep both sides honest.

 

[VaporTrail]

Please Danny don't phone GMKA about a trade...Please don't.
