Thread: Habs 2021-22 w Jones
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsRafiki</b></div><div>Jones will get top money or term, probably not both. Romanov? I am not sure what kind of $$$ you imagine he'll get, but unless there is a marked improvement next season (year 3 of his ELC), he'll get a modest bridge that starts with a "2". Suzuki is a more interesting question. His numbers suggest a Domi-like contract, which is $5.3M. He'd get something close to that if the Habs can get 5 years of term from him. Otherwise, he'll get 2-3 years in the high 3s and go for the big number on his next contract.</div></div>

I was pointing out the fact that in his projection, there wasn't any "provision", cap wise, for the salary increase of those 3 players.

I'm ok with what you're saying. I'm not foreshadowing a huge contract for Romanov, even with a great season next year. I'd say a 2x2.25-2.5 would be realistic, if he continue to develop.

For Jones, since he's willing to test the market, I doubt he'll settle for less than his true worth, which is between 8.25 &amp; 9.25 AAV on a 7 years deal.

#14, now : I've seen enough of the kid and what he's capable of that I would throw max term right now! I mean, summer 2021, not after his ELC ends in 2022. Sign him NOW for max term and get yourself a HUGE bargain deal for the years 4 through 8 (maybe even starting year 3). GM'S have to take risks and that Suzuki kid is totally worth it.

Thread: Caps with Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DogDayCaps2</b></div><div>the value is off by 500k lol hardly worth your overreaction lol . i imagine he doesn't have much negotiation room since he missed a lot of time with the quad accident last year and COVID / Suspended this year. should the capitals sign him to a 5m deal or what lol?</div></div>

This guy was to be the #1 goalie for the Caps. Played very well last year, this year too, but got hurt long term and Vanecek (a nobody) got hot in his absence. This doesn't mean Samsonov's bad and will sign a back-up level contract at 24 years old lol! Please! If he signs for 1.5M$-2M$, then it's a 1 year contract. (which I hardly believe both party wants). If it's a 3 years contract, it'll be based on Jarry contract (3.25$'$ per). More for 5+ years. The more reasonable option for both parties is a bridge contract. They might also part with him and keep Vanecek, but I don't think it's the right move. #my2cents

Thread: Another Marner trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>treemos27</b></div><div>I think Hyman gets more term.
If the Leafs are going to get a deal on him, they will make up for it with a 5-6 year contract.

The Columbus trade has promise, but it leaves a gapping hole in our forward group. It might break the deal, but I'd need Roslovic as well.</div></div>

Be realistic, now. Roslovic just had a breakout season, for them, and is the surprise of the Dubois-Laine trade. He's also a local dude on a great deal. CBJ isn't trading him anytime soon. Jones for Marner is a pretty close deal, in itself. I'm still scared of what Jones will ask, when summer 2022 comes...9M$ AAV? More? Because if they do this trade and Jones doesn't sign an (affordable) extension right away, then it's a HORRIBLE trade for them!

Thread: Another Marner trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dekes</b></div><div>Every single one of those ufas are being underpaid. After Spezzas great season no way he signs for less then 2 mill and if you say he will stay to be on a cup contender then you are stupid toronto is a first round exit contender. Hyman can get 5-5.8 mil on the market don’t seem him taking a 1.8 mill discount. Foligno is still worth 3.5 mill with the leadership, physicality and net presence he brings. Forbort it will sign for close to 2 mill aswell, nice try though bud but no one is taking discounts for Toronto every realizes they are a bunch of choke artists now</div></div>

Hahaha you are correct! I'm not disagreeing with you at all. I still think that players WILL take discount for Toronto, because history tells us that they'll do, even though they're "choke artists" as you said :tearsofjoy Remember one thing, though : with the flat cap for another 2 seasons, there wont be many 5-6-7 M$ AAV contracts. Hyman's great, but I strongly feel like he won't get offers for 5+M$ AAV this summer.

Thread: A team
Let's take Rackell OUT and place Verhaghe IN (+2 789 444$).

Then, take Lowry OUT and place Couturier IN (-1 416 667$). "We are still at + 1 372 777$".

Then, take Coleman OUT and place Fiala IN (-1 200 000$) "still +216 667$" (we'll place Fiala on the 3rd line &amp; drop McCann on the 4th line).

With the 1 108 773$ of remaining cap space (892 106$ + 216 667$), take Hyman OUT and place Hintz IN (-900 000$). We'll switch Verhaghe with Hintz, from 2nd line to 3rd line.

Then, take Toews OUT and place Ekholm IN (+350 000$).

Then, take Pelech OUT and place Dunn IN (-275 000$).

You still have 283 773$ of free cap space and here's your lineup :

Marchand-MacKinnon-Ehlers
Huberdeau-Barkov-Hintz
Fiala-Couturier-Verhaghe
McCann-Bennett-Roslovic

Hedman-Makar
Ekholm-McAvoy
Dunn-Weegar

Hellebuyck
Grubauer
