Thread: Next Three Years - Year 3 SEA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Heiskanen4Vezina</b></div><div>Well just a rule of thumb; if you're going to offer 7+ years to a player, they are going to want to see significant money coming back their way. You'll have to initially overpay for a contract of that length, because with a 7+ year deal, it's likely the biggest deal some of these players are going to see. Tkachuk is going to see money similar to what just about every 70+ point player is seeing. He may not get it right now, but when he gets his 7+ year deal, he'll see $8.5M+ per season on his contract. Same goes for guys like Valimaki &amp; Dube. You may be able to get away with the money you're paying them here, if they sign 3-5 year deals. If you want them to agree to a 7+ year contract, you are going to have to bump up the salaries of both significantly.</div></div>

Disagree, those young guys are going to get 2-7 to 8 year contracts. The first could be for a bit less.

Thread: Realistic Leafs with John Tavares
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFutures</b></div><div>No I didn’t I addressed both your concerns in one comment. I’ll restate the day he signs the 1 year contract is the same day he signs the 8 year extension. Meaning if he were to get injured the leafs would still have to pay him for the next 8 years.</div></div>

No, because the second, contract extension is dramatically less AAV than the initial it is not allowed via the CBA, and he would be forced to go all the way to UFA status before being allowed to do so (1 year later). Thus the earlier concerns apply and there would be dramatic risk all upon Tavares.

In any case, why would Tavares sign with Toronto in any case? He is supposedly interested in winning the Cup and clearly both Tampa Bay and San Jose are in a much better position to do so both long-term and short-term, offer much better quality of life, would not be living in a fishbowl and, at least in Tampa's case, have a much higher take home pay with zero state taxes?

Thread: Bring Back the Battle..Alberta Strong - Both Teams Get Better Filling Needs
I admire the willingness to deal, even with your arch-enemy, but it completely baffles me why in the world someone would even consider that Yanamoto for Brodie &amp; Gillies is even remotely in the realm of a fair trade? What, because at some point in the distant past you could look at it like a 1st for a 4th &amp; a3rd? Completely baffling. Maybe if you exclude the actual only true NHLer, Brodie and make it Yanamoto for Gillies there would be something to discuss. Potential for potential, a higher-drafted, lower worth position guy for a lower-drafted, higher worth position guy, both at or near the thresholds of the NHL. Now that would be reasonable. If you want to throw in Brodie, then throw in RNH, or perhaps Puljujarvi plus a pick?
