I have little doubt they will try to move him for a higher price at next year's TDL as trading a guy retained with another full year would be more valuable than a partial season rental. The Hawks aren't competing next year obviously, so if they were able to fetch a 1st or more, they do it all day long IMO. For this offer, probably unlikely but never know...I'm not a fan of Lillypad personally but no idea how the Hawks view him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I'm open to the idea of at some point you make a quality vs quantity move. I get that part. Seems like a bit much for Necas. I don't dislike him at all. I guess I'd be hoping for something more efficient. Either a better RWer as a UFA or maybe Bowman's prospects like Colton Dach and Nolan Allan plus a 2nd. I just don't think KD is trading away 1sts at this point in time. He's still trying to get his picks/prospect developed/developing. In a summer or two...maybe I could see it then, but it just feels too early for this. Kyle's only had this job for 2 years 1 month and 15 days and Luke not even 2 years yet. I wouldn't rush the rebuild.</div></div>
I'd rather see Laine with 2 years left on the deal, and wouldn't cost as much in trade assets, and gives the Hawks the option of trading him at the deadline in 25/26 or resining him. Laine would light it up with Bedard.

I could see the Hawks doing this as his contract expires before they need to sign Bedard and Korchinksi and Laine could be either trade bait or potentially resigned if he develops chemistry with the Hawks.

Yeah but with Dach you even go back to when he was in the juniors. He's not a very smart player in my opinion, never thought that about him even the year before the draft. Has skill and size, but doesn't know how to best utilize it and protect himself

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>He played his whole career for one of the most prestigious teams in the league and helped put them back on the map, did his time as a rental in his home state for another extremely prestigious team with history then hand picked a third team of the same cloth. If he wants to continue with the original 6 theme, Montreal is off the board but it would leave Toronto or Boston as options.
It would fit his profile but I have to agree that he's probably not going north of the border. Buffalo would be interesting is he wants to go home and help them make the jump t the playoffs.</div></div>
He bought a home for $5M or $6M in the Chicago suburbs and spent a year gutting it and his girlfriend and baby moved in at the end of last year. I don't think he's going to venture too far as he clearly is planting his roots in chicago which makes sense as he has said many times, that he wants to work for Chicago after his career. I'm betting he ends up back in detroit frankly and ends his career for a season or two in chicago since Detroit is so close.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>You were the one who said $3M. I was just using your number. There are many ways to make the numbers work. Players and agents aren't concerned with AAV, they are concerned with real dollars. If the team can structure a contract in a way that both, makes the player/agent happy, and keeps the AAV down, it is a win win scenario. All I'm saying is they should be thinking about that. Because money will eventually get tight again, and if his offense doesn't pick up, a contract like that could become a problem. Also, as I stated in another comment, he is not arbitration eligible. They could make it work for both sides.</div></div>
Was saying that from the perspective of being an RFA, a hometown boy, and the Hawks getting extremely lucky on a bridge deal as a basement number. But market value is a different thing, $3M would be 100% underpaid on a bridge and even more underpaid as a factor into a long term deal thus taking the ability away for Vlasic to really cash in at the age of 24 or 25.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ht42</b></div><div>The Habs are the most likely team to make once again a big splash in the Draft.
Dach isn't a 3C, he is a top 6 foward. Likely gonna hit the 60-70 pts mark next season.</div></div>
Dach is a tin soldier...he has never been able to play a complete pro season after 5 years. I agree he's a top 6 player when healthy, but betting on him being healthy for a full season is a big risk. I would also argue, the 3C role is more important than a #3 or #4 winger in the top 6 role.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Sure. I could argue that too. But it just isn't how negotiations work. But players generally want to help their team too. AAV is just an average. If they can structure the payment schedule in a way that works for all sides while also driving down the AAV, then it's a win win scenario.
Also, Before anyone else was saying it, I WAS THE ONE who first proposed a $6.5M x 8 year deal for him, and everyone called me crazy for it earlier in the season. Might've even been over the summer when I proposed that.</div></div>
But an AAV of $5.2 over 8 years is just off. $6.5M AAV would be more inline with the first couple years paid out around $4m and going upwards from there.
That all said, I believe everyone is going to end up on a bridge because he did something incredible in his rookie season, vastly improving over last year, but it all being just one year. If they bridge him for 2 or 3 years he remains a RFA i'm pretty sure. Of course assuming he continues to perform like this season and slightly get better, in 3 years the Hawks will certainly be looking at $6.5M to $8M AAV against the rising cap and a more complete resume.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>All on shorter term deals, with way larger sample sizes showing consistency throughout their careers, and most of them putting up significantly more offense. AAV and actual salary are two different things. By combining the bridge deal with his third contract they can take the AAV or cap hit down to a more manageable level. If they see him as a long term piece, they should just skip the bridge deal and put it all in one contract to drive down the cap hit.
Also, I edited my previous comment with an example of a contract structure to reflect what I am trying to say.</div></div>
None of the players I mentioned showed what Vlasic has at 22 years old in his rookie season. They also all signed those agreements when there was a lower cap ceiling and thus taking up a bigger percentage of cap at the time.
Regard offense, all were playing on much better teams offensively then the Hawks so the difference between a 16 point player and a 32 point player for a shutdown d man could be largely attributed to that alone....seems like a massive jump offensive but really isn't. Shutdown guys especially benefit with point production based on the team around them so don't believe that's part of the argument.
I get what you are doing, but the first 3 years in your model he is severely underpaid against those comps, with Slavin being the closest one signing at 23 years old 6 years ago taking for $5.3M which was a much higher percentage of cap at that time. Brodin signed for $4.2M 9 years ago at age 22 coming off his ELC coming off a very similar performance as Vlasic. The math simply doesn't add up against what you are suggesting given the cap increases and looking at these comps 6 or 9 years ago. In other words, years 1, 2, and 3 would need to start with at least a number of $4.5m to upwards of $6m to remotely be considered fair value using Slavin or Brodin's first contract as a comp 6 and 9 years later.
There is very little question given these comps and considering the cap increases including going into next year and the % of total cap at the time on those comps that Vlasic will take anything less than $4m to $5m on a bridge deal let alone a long term AAV of $5M to $5.5m.

Yes, my thoughts IF the Habs can get Necas or someone similar. Sliding Dach over to the wing or moving him to 3C makes more sense if they land Celebrini.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>I disagree with this. Shutdown dmen don't make $8M. If he signed at $5.2M for 8 years, he would be overpaid for the first 2 to 4 years of the contract. Which means overall, he will have made more money in total than he would have on a bridge plus his contract after the bridge deal. At his peak, as a shutdown defenseman, $5.2M should be right in line with market value. The only way he gets $8M or more is if he adds a ton of offense to his game. Which is possible, but, again, the overpayment in the first few years of the contract should be able to make up for that discrepancy, and if they structure the contract properly and backload the deal, he will be making that much or close enough to it in the back half of the contract, just at a lower AAV, which helps the team.</div></div>
No way. Gudas just signed this season for $4M and he's 33 years old. Brodin signed at 28 years old for $6M 3 years ago. McDonagh signed at 30 years old for $6.75M 5 years ago. Slavin signed 6 years ago, age 23 at $5.3M which is probably the closest to Vlasic...6 years ago!
With a 22 year old on a long term deal playing at the level of those players today, and you're paying for future ability obviously and against a rising cap, those comps aren't going to land Vlasic. Player contracts are based on a % against the total cap obviously. When all those players signed the cap limits were lower and they were much older aside from Slavin. Not only would he NOT be overpaid at $5.2M next year...that would be about fair market value (at least in the ballpark), he would be way underpaid in a few years against a rising cap to boot.
