Really like the target, really hard to re sign next season. Adding Kubalik to the list of Tkachuk, Mangiapane, Gaudreau would be a tall order!

Kubalik is worth way more than that I’d assume

Love these moves.. Kubalik may need more but if we could get him that would be huge for depth.. also think we could make it work money wise if we move some contracts (Lucic, etc)

What are you thoughts on the contracts of those names? Been thinking about next year. a lot and am very curious what the market price is for them. Keep hearing Mangi would want short deal around 4-5mill

Unless he comes up huge in the playoffs or something, he won't be looking at too much of a raise. Probably 4x4. He has a pretty high ceiling but he has more to prove still. And if he already is what he is 4x4 should be right on the mark.

Gaudreau 5-6/ 8.75 - 9
Tkachuk 6-8/ 8.75 - 9
Mangiapane - 3-5/ 4.5 - 4.75

Those are just my thoughts, obviously you'd love to lock up Mangiapane long term but look at deals like Colton Sissons, Mangiapane is obviously a better player but the Predators thought they were locking up a 30 ish point per year guy and now they've got a 28 year old winger that has put up 15 in his last two seasons with a contract for 4 more years. 3 - 5 years could be really good for both player and team.
Gaudreau and Tkachuk ideally just sign matching 8.5M/year deals long term, obviously doesn't happen and I think Tkachuk get more term and money than Gaudreau, throw the full $9M for max term at Tkachuk, get Gaudreau between 4- 6 years, let him negotiate another contract after this one in Philly if he wants. Will be a very interesting off season, Treliving has been great at re signing his own guys but they've all been RFA's, hopefully he can get a good deal on Gaudreau and long term for Tkachuk to avoid that 1 year 9M qualifying offer!

Yah this is very accurate to what ive been reading… i think 5-6 is perfect term for Johnny. have read that mangi wants short term.. which like you said might not be the worst option giving the history of other contracts. Would of preferred to have both chucky and johnny locked up at this point as johnny value continues to go up lol
