Nope Alot more players would have suspensions if they did. Can't hit players that are 5'9" in the NoHitLeague. I'm not surprised players go easy on him though, he looks like he's still in highschool.

That's as much as Stamkos re-signed for. 6.5M I think they'll agree with. 8M is too much I think Stamkos signing for 8 million had something to do with Florida's tax laws. Making 8 million in Florida is probably the same as making 9+ million most other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stelar Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 47 minutes ago, Where's Wellwood said: I'm seeing comparisons to when Edmonton signed Hall, Nugent-Hopkins, and Eberle to those similar 6M per deals. Gaudreau shouldn't make a significantly different amount than Monohan and Bennett should probably be in the same ball park, if he continues to develop, once his ELC is done. Not in the same ballpark yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised players go easy on him though, he looks like he's still in highschool. Players don't go easy on anyone no matter what they look like. Players like Gaudreau and Kane have the agility to make lining them up much harder. The newer crop of undersized prospects like Marner and Aho are following the same template. 10 minutes ago, Warhippy said: $6.65 million per year over 5 years.

Owners throwing stupid money around, agents demanding stupid money for marginal players or very short resumes regardless of production The owners seem think the system is working quite well according to Bill Daly. “I don’t think on our side there is anything major that would need fixing. I think there’s a general satisfaction with how the system is working. From time to time, tweaks are needed. I think the sign of any healthy collective bargaining relationship is, particularly when you’re talking about tweaks, you try to deal with them mid-term and try to make adjustments. I think we’ve been successful with the Players’ Association, at least during the first four years of this agreement, in being able to do that – on both sides of the table. Where there are things that might not be working well for the players that aren’t kind of fundamental to the operation of the system we’ve been able to reach accommodations, and I think the same is true from their side of the table." http://www.todaysslapshot.com/from-t...louds-horizon/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 For me the comedy is remembering how flames fans mocked the Sedins' toughness and harped about "The Sisters" for a decade ...and now their offence is built around a hockey gnome that weighs 150lbs soaking wet. The Sedins are like Bob Probert compared to that squirrel. Yeah, 8 million, lets see him survive 4 rounds of playoff hockey vs guys that will be trying to kill him....

They'll make little adjustments to their roster to squeeze in who they'd like to keep. Complaining about how a GM manages a cap is just part of the fun of being an armchair GM. Truth is I'm pretty happy with how competitive each team is in regards to one another, and with league wide revenue the way it is I'm not surprised that owners and players are happy too.

Stelar Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 He is a bit of an enigma as his home stats are through the roof and his road stats are sh!t. Not a good sign for him. Also, he has no leverage other than sitting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that we have reached a stage in CBA negotiations where neither side feels that there is enough to be gained from a lockout. The only issue that imo needs to be fixed in the next CBA is the bonus structure on contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 He's not worth that yet and there's no way he and his agent don't know it, it's just better to ask high and work down. I could see him not wanting to bite on term though, Flames are gonna have to pony up if they want to buy up his prime UFA years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
