Barzal already said no to 7.5, he's not gonna agree to 7

Did not know that, source?

Sorry, I don't have a source. I heard this from someone else. But its probably true. I mean marner is getting paid 10 aav.

7 mil for Barzal lmfao

I wouldn’t do this - mcdonagh is already declining

Y tf do rangers fans always call Barzal terrible but now all of a sudden he needs to get paid they’re like “BarZaL iS WorTh At LeaSt TeN mIllIon AaV.” Make up ur damn minds

Yeah but players have to understand there’s a flat cap. We’ll see what happens

Yeah that’s fair, although this move would help us win now

not on a 3 year deal he isnt

Finally, someone who understands that the amount of years you get affects the contracts AAV!

I disagree - mcdonagh won’t make much of a difference.

A good win now move would have been to buyout Leddy and sign toews.

He’s referring to NRD - barzal declined 7.5 mill on a long term deal, not a bridge.

Yeah, he’d take it on a bridge I think (and hope)

McDonagh is a good 2PP option (although I’d want Dobson to have those duties) and he’s a real shutdown guy. Only problem w him is the contract

Mcdonagh regressed last season - no doubt he’s an upgrade over Leddy , but not by much. I can see mcdonagh falling off a cliff as soon as next season. Look at how vlasic went from one of the leagues best two way D to one of the worst D in the NHL within a few years.

The isles have enough vets with playoff experience on the backend to insert a few younger players

That’s fair, I’m j desperate to get rid of Leddy 😭

His contract is very buyout friendly lol - they should just buy him out next summer.

I saw on Friedman’s 31 thoughts that toews and the isles were far apart on a deal. Toews signed for 4.1 mill , did they offer him 1 mill per? 😂 They could have signed him for 3.5 x 2.

lmfaooo. I believe he’s worth 8-9 and I believe that he will get in that range. Ur high if u think he’s getting 7 mil but keep dreamin bud

Lou is hardball in negotiations w all the wrong players smh 😓

7 on a bridge is fair value. Look at Point’s bridge. I can assure u I’m not high

He won’t go on bridge. I could see him going on bridge if Johnny didn’t get hurt and his cap was taken out of the question. There is still speculation your clearing cap and u have 9.9 in cap rn (im pretty sure). I can assure you he won’t take a bridge deal at 7 but dream big rock star.

You know barzal personally?

Lol seriously. Another thing is how tf did pulock only get 2 years if he knew boychuk was going on LTIR. I’m confident pulock will re-sign but why not get him on a 4-5 year deal and then let him walk when he’s 30.

it’s been reported he’s looking for 7.5 to 9 mil. I think they come to a deal at 8.245, maybe 8

It was reported that he decline 7.5 mill on a long term deal. On a bridge he’ll get between 7-7.5 mill.
