Mackinnon 11 x 8 on his next deal (pay cut)
Matthews 14.5 x 8 on his next deal

With the cap increase MacKinnon should get McDavid contract. Basically 100 million at 8 years.

He said he was gonna take a pay cut

nobody really takes paycuts IMO whatever they say

Brandon Coe is a very tall human.Filip Bystedt measured at 6-foot-3.75 at the draft combine and when they are near each other on the ice, Coe is clearly, visibly taller than him.

CANT TEACH 6’4+ BABY

That is a paycut given his recent performance.

I want some Habs reporter do a similar kind of tweet, like

Lane Hutson is a very short human. Juraj Slafkovsky looks like a f*cking tower next to him.

You realize 10m us actually only like 4m back to the player...if that.

I think more

He should go 13 x 8yrs becoming the most expensive player till Matthews 14.69m x 8 year extension

And would anyone argue hes not worth it. At times in the playoffs he was the main reason that they were able to keep the run going

He also might not want to live in Calgary. I do agree that "going home" is overrated. However I feel like there is more to it than money and location. Gaudreau had the best season of his career last year and the Flames still got eliminated in the second round. I don't see them being able to get further than that. If he is still thinking about taking 80M+ from Calgary, he likely isn't committed to the Flames

As a consolation prize; if Johnny leaves Timmy Peel says the Oilers on a 5 year or the Flames are the front runners for Evander Kane.

I think Kane’s goal is to stay in the Pacific to spite the Sharks lol.

Oh no, only 4mil in post-tax dollars. Whatever will I do with this life-changing amount of money

Its kind of funny though when you do the little itty bitty maths how a guy making 11mill in Canada and a guy making 8 mill in Florida in the end once taxes come into play make almost the same amount of money

But hey in the end once all things are filed in they leave with Millions so I dont think they care yet people cry one guy is making more than the other without realizing once taxes come into play both are making about the same lul

The thing is, he has said repeatedly for years that he likes living in Calgary. Sometimes unprompted. So that would just suck all around. And I feel like you’re underselling the Flames. Markstrom had the worst week of his season against the Oilers, but he was consistently a high level goalie for most of the rest of the year, and we can essentially run it back with the same group that was seen as a top 3 cup favourite and the second best chance of winning the West (plus Colorado’s maybe taking a slight step back next year).

I dislike Tim Peel and everything he says. He was a terrible ref and needs to stay in his lane, which should be never getting noticed, except maybe to provide clarity on the rules that he doesn’t know and didn’t enforce.

That said, Kane + a centre (Trocheck or one of the Stromes, Kadri would be too expensive on top of Kane although I’d like him too, maybe Kadri+Marchment) wouldn’t be a terrible consolation prize, and might be the only way to stay relevant. But I feel like if Gaudreau walks, we aren’t gonna win free agency like that.

This was debunked anyway. A good accountant will get you 300k per million (after tax, escrow, etc.) no matter where you play in the league. And regardless, an extra year at 10mil pre-tax income is an insanely large sum of money. Like it’s unfathomable for a normal person. That one year could cause him to choose a random family member and say hey, you never have to work a day in your life even if you mismanage this sum of money and don’t invest it or anything. The whole taking a pay cut thing is such a stupid part of hockey culture. Everyone deserves to be fairly compensated for their work. And you’re only putting more money in the pockets of billionaires (who are certainly not taking a pay cut of any kind, ever) if you’re a pro athlete taking a pay cut.

If this is to be believed..

I'm told #GoHabsGo have a deal sending Jeff Petry to an Eastern Conference, said team is waiting for MTL to pay the $3M salary bonus tomorrow. Part of the Petry return would be packaged with Christian Dvorak and other pieces for WPG forward Pierre-Luc Dubois.

Holy sh*t if this is true

damn Martin Leclerc with some insider report

It has to be true, he's a true pro journalist

it's in french so in english : MTL working for PLD long term, the trade was almost done at draft day.

Who is this guy is he reliable?

I dunno, you tell me

it’s a funny coincidence that SevenLeg hated the Slaf pick but SevenLegg likes Slaf crushing dev camp - wonder if they’re related?

Why isnt Friedman quoting this perfectly accurate source

If this Dubois thing is correct, that Sevenlegg with two gg's will be bragging even harder than DucharmeTheDominator with the Lehkonen trade.

The Sharks have over 20 skaters and that’s without including Eklund, Bords, Knyzhov (probably starting in the AHL)….

This team needs to make some trades and move Labanc.
I mean we have a enough cap space for Ferraro, Kahkonen but our moves are clearly planning for something in free agency yet we have like a dozen wingers lying around.
