I'd gladly take 6 year 5 million... If Jimbo pulls that or 8 years 5 million I'd be shocked. 2 hours ago, theo5789 said: There are other things to consider as well. For example, Horvat is two years younger and has played as many games and has more points than Pearson. Horvat's best season is already better than Pearson's. Bo plays more PK minutes, lesser PP time and more ice time overall. Horvat is a center and Pearson is a winger, therefore Bo has to take faceoffs and be more responsible defensively as well. Pearson's only edge is probably his physical game. Honestly if Bo gets a long term contract for 6m, it'll be a steal, but it seems like a lot of people will cry about it anyway. Pearson's contract seems pretty standard for what he provides. If he continues to trend up, then his contract will be a bargain in the 3rd and 4th years. You make some great points and I agree Bo is worth more. Long term contract at 6 mill is surely not deserved, at least not yet. If he wants 6 he has to sign a short bridge deal... If Jimbo can do 5+ years at anything under 5 mill, that'll be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jimbo can do 5+ years at anything under 5 mill, that'll be fair. He can do a short bridge and continue to improve and he will be looking at 7-8 million long term if he does all that he provides and gets his points up to 70-80. If we sign him long term now at 6, he gets overpaid for about a couple of years but then he becomes a bargain. Of course I'd take him for 5 million a year, but I'm thinking if he does a bridge contract, it'll already be at 4-5 million. If it's long term, he has to be asking for more, especially if it's long enough to buy into UFA years which is only 4 more years away I believe.

I rather take that risk TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to put faith into him, he can sign a 4 year deal and walk. There's an added cost to buy UFA years. Even at 60-70 points a year plus everything else he provides, 6 million a season is not going to be much especially if the cap continues to rise. If Benning can get him to sign for more than 4 years at 5 million a season, I think people will need to stop saying that he cannot negotiate contracts.

Hell he'd be more likely to get a contract starting at 7 then 5. 6m minimum at 5 years minimum for Bo. Bank it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Monahan is a good example of a player clearly better than him by a notch. He got 7 x 6.375... If Bo gets 7, he should really be thanking his agents and Jimbo's disabilities when it comes to #'s. 7 x 5.5 for Bo should be the max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Bo but at best he should be in the 5-6mil range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I'm thinking around 4.5m for a 2 or 3 year bridge deal for Horvat. If he wants term I'd say 6m is the highest Jim should go, no more. I also think Bo is a character kid who won't demand the moon in negotiations. I think they'll come to a deal thats fair for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
