Thread: Tanev
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>In general its all about who gives in first

If CGY holds on to long they may lose the chance to move or lose a dance partner if the price is to high

Thats what negotiating is for</div></div>Yes, but it's not just Flames vs Leafs, the Leafs are also competing with a plethora of other teams, teams that haven't traded away all their second round picks for the next 3 years and have much better prospects to move.

It's rumored the Canucks have already offered a 2nd and a prospect but the Flames never said yes, there is no way Tanev ends up in Toronto unless they are willing to move their 1st or Cowan, they just don't have the assets otherwise because plenty will be offering a 2nd+, so later picks and the Leafs meh prospects just aren't going to get it done.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>Dubois and Tkacuck were traded at the beginning of each season in an RFA year. Hardly the same and if you can’t see that, you might be blinded here. Them signing was the difference between locking in generational wealth vs. being paid a bridge deal.

Gaudreau to Philly was one option. There is a difference between going to a team that has lost consistently vs. going to the team with the best regular season record in the last two years. Things can change, but I’m very comfortable Boston will be in a great position to sign an impact player with Hanifin being the most likely.</div></div>

They both still chose to sign long-term extensions with Florida and LA after fans ran their mouths for years about how they only wanted to play in "X" city. I'm not saying he won't end up in Boston, but teh reality is he's likely to either sign an extension, or go to teh highest bidder.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>It does

Retention applies to entire contract at time of trade (same % to earth year of remaining term at time of deal). An extension done prior to trade would be considered part of that contract (it’s not a new contract, it’s an extension to existing contract). Examples:

-- If Hanifin extends tomorrow, then traded next week, the % retained to count towards all years including extension.

-- If Hanifin does not sign extension, is traded with 50% retention, that applies to 2023-24 only.

-- If Markstrom is traded with 25% retention, that means 25% for remaining 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-25.

To retain one year, you’d have to trade him as pure rental before March 8th, then anytime between March 8th and July 1st, he would be eligible to sign 8-year term while with new team.</div></div>
actually in the NHL is is a new contract, because when they introduced the salary cap they also put in a rule about renegotiating contracts, also there is a rule stating contracts are a maximum of 8 years. We may call them extensions, but based on teh CBA they are new contracts.
