I think he gives you guys a hometown discount, just lengthen the term.

I don’t think Borowiecki gets that big of a raise— I think he’ll get a pay cut actually. But I’m open to bringing him back.

I’d prefer Forsberg to be similar to the Landeskog deal, but I suppose this wouldn’t be the worst since we have the space right now— but could be right next season with multiple players to extend. Maybe something like $8.5m x 5 or $7.5m x 7?

I’ve never minded Olivier like some other Preds fans have, but I’d be interested to see how Afanasyev would look on that line instead. Still open to Olivier if it doesn’t work out.

An alternative lineup could be:
Tolvanen - Granlund - Duchene
Forsberg - Johansen - Kunin
Jeannot - Glass - Tomasino
Trenin - Sissons - Afanasyev

I feel like Jeannot could help Glass and Tomasino. And then spreading out the talent a bit in the top 6. But there’s nothing wrong with your lines either— though I wonder which of Tomasino or Kunin would end up at LW.

I have a feeling he's going to want more than Duchene/Joey but Poile won't give him as much as Josi obviously, If he wants more than 7, than he shorter term it is. If he wants 7 or below then 8 years would be fine.

I don't think he will take that deep of a discount for shorter term. If he takes 7 or less then he will want max term plus NMC/NTC. I woudln't mind giving him more if the term is less.

I truly think that it Jeannot was playing top 6 mins he would be front runner for calder. He's the next Lucic/Wilson.
