CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 He would be my direct comparative to Bo Horvat, and I feel Mika has done more to earn this contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Mika has put up similar offense to what Horvat did last year for multiple years now. Plus his underlying numbers are significantly better. Still think Horvat isn't worth more than $5 mil. If he's seeking more than that on a long term deal, I'd prefer a 2-year bridge deal around $4.5.

Rush17 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 perfect. another comparable for bo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I doubt this changes BoHo's extension much, if any. Bo's going to get the contract he deserves - everyone can calm down and just enjoy the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Man I wish we tried to trade for him... but I guess we didn't have a piece like Brassard. Not sure what's taking so long for Bo to sign... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what's taking so long for Bo to sign... Can't remember who was on the 1040 about a week ago, but it was mentioned that Bo's agency tends to not rush things. Seems to be a negotiating tactic. I wouldn't begin worrying until camp begins. Still time to work things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on recent interviews with Linden and Benning, the Canucks prefer a short term deal. And considering it's taken this long to negotiate a contract, I would say Bo's camp is on the opposite end of the spectrum, aka the long term.

Then trevor said not an 8 year deal. im assuming 7 would be too long as well. so more then a 3 which is standard and less then 7 leaves a 4-6 year window they are looking within.

If they are trying to sign him to a long term contract I would prefer they go for the maximum 8 year deal. At least that way they would be buying 4 years of his UFA eligibility.

If you have the source, please link it. All I see is an interview in November saying they want to sign him long term, but with the way things are going it definitely sounds like they've changed their stance.
