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

[JohanFranzenstein]

Love him as a player but let's be real bro.

 

[TLEH]

He's a 30 goal, 60 point player at this stage, he's not getting 10 million lol. Everyone knows that. Even him. Even with his grit and entangibles.

 

[TheBeard]

Makes sense. He almost broke a whopping 70 points last year. At this rate he’ll be a PPG player by the time he’s 33.

 

[CanMerc]

I’m guessing he signs around 8 yrs at 8.65m

 

[NyQuil]

Aren't we all, Travis.

 

[PelagicJoe]

That's one way to get picked for a drug test.

 

[hamzarocks]

8M x 8 is max end of what hes worth

 

[mr4tno]

I could see him getting 8.5 for 7 or 8 years.

At is age 8 years is too long. He break down real quick. Everyone thinks -- Marchant. But he is the outlier. You already have a broker Couturier getting paid almost $* until he is 35....

Being ufa scoring 30+ goals back to back.

Cap is going up. We will see some players be overpaid and then they aren't actually super overpaid.

Cap is going to be 100 million in 2 to 3 years.

People do not underestimate the stupidity of the Flyers. They will blink and give him at least 9 is my guess. They fact he wants to stay is a red flag to me.

 

[mr figgles]

Konecny is also an all offense winger. His defense is atrocious

I think you are in the wrong thread

 

[66-30-33]

Cool, can I go to my job and say I wanna get paid $100 per hour? No? but I wants it.

Konecny is also an all offense winger. His defense is atrocious

I never said he was a good defensive player. The comment was that he’s more capable of being an (offensive) line driver (than the likes of Cat). He drove production last year with almost zero help.

 

[GKJ]

It’s the Tortorella Tax

 

[BiPolar Caps]

 

[dirtydanglez]

i think he has a good case for timo meier money

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Negotiation tactic.

 

[sxvnert]

Interpretation: "I want 10m to stay in Philly...will accept less elsewhere."

 

[DingDongCharlie]

He won’t get over 8

 

[PDX Flyer]

The Nashville Predators initiate the arbitration process with their filing, but likely cost themselves substantial money with an offer of $4.75 million US, a minimal increase for a player nominated for a Norris Trophy. Weber's group put forward $8.5 million.

The arbitrator awards Weber $7.5 million.

2000: LeClair​

John LeClair sets a new mark and then some after he was awarded $7 million. LeClair went for the moon at $9 million, while the Philadelphia Flyers submitted a $4.6 million proposal. Thus, LeClair got himself a 92 per cent raise from the previous year's salary.

These are just arbitration examples. Its the same thing.

Johnny L was also coming off 3 50 goal season iirc. He was on a dirt cheap contract and kinda got paid from past performance

 

[FlyguyOX]

And nearly half the goals of Reinhart.

Ship his ass out. Doesn't fit the timeline anyways.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Aim at the stars to reach the moon

 

[Qward]

I am also looking for $10,000,000 a year. My work has countered with minimum wage. I am hoping to meet in the middle.

 

[Zbynek]

7.777 x 7

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I'd be fine with my team giving him $9M.
