They will certainly get better offers

Bruins need to add their best player in Sean Kurlay to interest the Sabres.

Hall is gonna want way more.

Not enough.

Well, he'll have to go somewhere else to get it. I think he takes a slight pay cut to stay in Boston tho. It's the perfect combination- the team doesn't have to rely on him for all their scoring, and he gets to work with Krejci and Smith, who he did really well with. Also, 6 Mil is no small number.

Agreed, for a chance at winning I expect Hall to resign for below market value. He'll probably want term though as he's about to hit 30 so he might push for more than 4 years.

Eichel trade above is a bad joke. You get hung up on. They'd be better off benching Eichel for 5 years.

That's a pathetic offer

Jake Debrusk + Vladar + Vaakanainen + Studnika + 2 or 3 1sts

cause who needs picks when u got Eichel in between Marchand and Pasta in 2 years lul

$6M is well on it's way to becoming average amount. 121 of 932 standard are $6M+ so about 13%.

Yes he does. About once a year when he is playing for the Kings, what a ****ty offer brah

What makes you think that? I think between 6-7 is realistic.

Didn’t he drop in an interview that he was going to sign long term with Boston like unprompted?

Vaakainainen is exactly what Sabres need. Vaak + Risto could build a new dream D-pairing. Think Sabres should go for this decent bid.

I mean, maybe they backload his contract so they pay him 6 M for the 1st few years, 7 M for the next and 8-9 M for the last few years

Yeah but I don't Boston keeping him around he is playing very well right now which is exactly what Boston wanted but after a great season in NJ he hasn't played very well in the regular season he was injured in his 3 season in NJ. But the year after he had 52 points and this season he was on pace for 48 if this season had 82 games. With a flat cap you are right $6M is a lot and his regular season play isn't worth that if he decided to take less money because there is always a team willing to over pay a UFA. Looking at the decisions like this Boston maybe be on the conservative side but they also don't make a lot of bad choices and that why they always seem to be in the hunt. Now once the cap gets back to normal where is can raise more than $1M in an offseason the average player salary could shoot up $6M.
