tonimator#19 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 2.5 - 3 mill max for 3-4 years i think we've seen many cases of young players having one good year and getting a huge raise like kris versteeg did.. and come back and have a mediocre campaign.. i'm sure raymond and the canucks can reach a fair deal... gillis is too smart to let go of this young rising star it'll be better to hold on to him for a couple of years.. then see where he's at and where our depth is at...

CanucksHomer Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Talking about players we need to sign, ive been searching for a free agent thread but couldn't find any. So assuming they will keep the cap at 56.8 mil next season, and we have $45.5mil locked up in 9 forwards, 5 defense, and 1 goalie. meaning we will have roughly 10 mil to sign guys like: Raymond, Wellwood, Johnson, Demitra, Hansen, Glass, Mitchell, O'Brien, Rome, Raycroft, Schneider. what we need: 4 forwards, 2 defense, 1 goalie Raymond - $2.75mil Wellwood - $1.5mil Johnson - $1.5mil Hansen - $1mil Glass - 2 way contract at whatever. O'Brien - $1.5mil Rome - $.750k Schneider - $1.5mil totaling 10.5mil. Letting guys like Mitchell, Demitra and Raycroft walk. p.s. i dont see anyway we fit Hamhuis under the cap like some are speculating, unless we move out bieksa or salo.

Totes McGoats Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Well, you either re-sign him for 2-3 million, or you let some retard GM out there offer a 5 million dollar offer sheet, and you take the compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kottonmouthed Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I believe it's gonna be around 2.250M or under for probably 4-5 years. I think we could see something like 12-13 Million over a handful of years that take up his prime or some of it. Then if this playoffs go very well you could see either the effect of players wanting to take less to stay or use their position to leverage into a higher paying job. To me that's when you really see what a player is made of I think we've seen a lot of Canucks commit to the franchise over the last few years and probably sacrificed some dollars in the process.

Millerdraft Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I think they should just do a 1 year arbitration thing, where he'll likely get about 2.25M. That way he has to have another good season before he gets his long term deal. As a comparison, Jiri Hudler put up 23 goals and 57 points last year, very close to what Raymond put up this year. He was also near the same age, but a bit older then Raymond. One difference though is that Hudler had a 42 point season that preceded it, whereas Raymond only a 21. Hudler in arbitration was given 2 yrs/5.75M or 2.875M per season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Vanderhoek Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 yep...i´d say not more than 2,5 2,0 would be fair compared to burr´s contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuckMaestro Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 $3,000,000.00 per year is Crazy Talk, I would say no more than 2. If we are so inclined to sign a 3 Million Dollar Man give me somebody bigger and more durable please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkpoet Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I am against giving anyone a huge raise based on a break-out year. Having said that, his contract is up and he does deserve a raise. I would throw a contract similar to what was given to Burr.. maybe with a few bonus clauses in there with relation to points/goals or?? to spice it up a bit. He has had a solid year but it was only ONE year. I'm aware of his skillset obviously, and he definitely has a gifted stride, but he had 50 points this year and that was preceded by a pair of 20 point seasons. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We have Schroeder and Hodgson waiting in the wings.... GO CANUCKS !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymondfan21 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 2.5 for 3 or 4 years. this kid still has potential to improve and he definitely has the work ethic needed to reach his potential i think it would be a mistake to let him walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
