I'm kinda with you right on for Mantha at 6 x 6. I think if he could have played the entire year then we're looking towards the 6 x 6.5 or 6 x 7 that a lot of people seem to think he's gonna get on here. We all know how good Mantha is but let's be real, the guy has never had a 50 point season or a 30 goal season yet in his career. He's been on pace to shatter both of those last year and this year but he couldn't stay healthy, which he hasn't been able to do at all yet in his young career, so I think 6 x 6 is pretty fair. I think $7M would be an overpayment, at least right now. We have a good chance to take advantage of a tough situation for Mantha and get him signed long-term on a team friendly deal, Yzerman won't let that slip by.
I do agree with others that Bert gets more than $4M. I think anywhere between $5M and $5.5M for 5-6 years is fair for him. I also think Fabbri will get somewhere between $3M-$3.5M on 1-2 years to see if he can continue at his pace and stay healthy and earn that larger contract. $2M is too cheap though, he's earned more than that. Personally I don't think we bring Perlini back but that's just me.
