Thread: kravstovvov
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>Really don't think the term or AAV is what is blocking the deal but most likely signing bonuses as usual. Melnyk doesn't want to give any of that but star players want a good chunk of their salary in s.b. because of the financial gains it brings. Recent example : look at Barkov contract.

All the rest is speculation and rumors. I'm 99% certain this is the case as it's been with past star players.



Dorion makes a lot of questionable decisions so I hope they wouldn't do that. White is currently injured but he's younger, less expensive, Chabot's best friend and very well appreciated by everyone. On the ice, he's not a lesser player than Henrique, at least not in the upcoming seasons. There's nothing to gain by getting rid of White. Worst case scenario : very cheap buy out

Sens also can't afford to move Zaitsev now. That would create a bigger hole on RD than the current hole at center with White injury</div></div>

Barkov followed the Stamkos model making the contract only 1,000,000 in base pay making it virtually buy-out proof Tkachuk might be looking for that but I really think he wants a shorter term also.

Thread: Kravtsov
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>knuxles</b></div><div>If the Habs were to go after him, they could pair him with Suzuki and Caufield. That's a long-term 1st line. That line needs physicality/size but it also wouldn't hurt adding another player who can put the puck in the net just as well as he can put someone through the boards. Plus it would be good for Romanov to have another Russian on the team. He talked a lot about the language barrier last year, I kinda felt bad lol. A lot of teams will be going after Kravtsov and so if we really want him, I'd overpay. He seems like a good fit on the team.</div></div>

Does he become another Gusev? PPG guy in the KHL and kinda meh in the NHL. besides I really dislike me first guys who refuse assignments. What didn't Gallant see he wanted too?
