Haha no,
is one of our biggest enemy, i don't like them at all. Especially, when Marchand does dirty stuff.
Also, if New England Patriots didn't win 10 superbowl in 20 years, i might've liked them. But it's just boring.
Rantanen contract:
I wasn't really invested on that player contract yet, but with a quick research it shows they are still not close.
I'm torn between 6 or 7 years:
has a history of offering 7 years contracts in the last years. So they are pushing for 7 at all costs for sure. 8 years is out of the question imo.
Rantanen's camp for sure pushing shorter term: 3,5,6 years only tops.
For me it looks like they can't agree in this case on 7, so i project right now 6 years.(AVS doesn't want 5) But maybe Sakic is just as tough as they say = good negotiator. So it can still be 7 years.
Moneywise it's quite clear it's 8.8 - 9.6 mill $ range.
Current guess: 9.125 million @ 6 years
One thing i'm 100% sure: it will be under 10 million $, if Sakic offers even 9.9 mill $ that would be shocking for me.
In my heart
i hope it's under 9 million $ for whatever years, so MacKinnon(top3 contract in league) wouldnt feel that bad for 4 more years...
That would be also a huge win for Sakic.
