jimmyking8888 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Money well spent. Still cost less than Eriksson and Sutter combined, but triple the goals. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s only worth 1.5m than skinner at 9m? As far as how Skinner looks at it? Make sure you factor in the value of a desperate team, and a depraved deprived market. He might have got as much on the open market? But why bother. Make em pay! CDC ought to lean a lesson in patience. The guys who run teams can say they don't feel pressure all they want... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised one bit now if Boeser signs in the $8m range. We've had moments of sanity. The summer of 2011 we let Ehrhoff walk, because he wasn't worth $40 mill. Sometimes you have to let them go... And moments we did not? ''Weaponizing'' both cap and real dollars to take on Keith Ballard & David Booth. That worked out great? In any player you want consistency, that they turn up. Roussel and Beagle both play their guts out. Easy to take. Vanek, not so much, but he produced. I guess that's so, so. And was only a mid value deal, 1 year. Buyer beware with guys like Duchesne, who take 2 & 1/2 of every 4 years to cruise. Another 1/2 on full pout. Practice consisting of lobbing eggs at the coaching staff, on the way past the rink from a cab. Presto, magic in a contract year? Panarin has always played hard at the opposite end of the scale of give a sh!t metres? Produced and drove play, even on average teams. On his own worth the price of admission.

This contract will be almost as bad. That's brutal. I remember that press conference. Ehrhoff said something like “I want to win the cup and i feel buffalo gives me the best chance”. Had nothing to do with the stack of cash. That was all about chasing the cup. Obviously. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not how agents are approaching it anymore - young players salary are going up much quicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes & No. Nylander got $7 mill x what 6? He had to hold out to get it. And he was coming off back to back 60 point years. We think Boeser is better? But he also has not done that yet. Nylander got what Pastrnak got. Pasta's been better than either. I think Brock will land just above that, simply due to inflation.

messier's_elbow Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Buffalo has to overpay to get good players to play there. It’s an overpayment for sure, but what else is Buffalo supposed to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His points per game is much higher. He would have easily gotten over 60 points if he had played all 82 games. Brock will get well over $7 million no doubt not only because of inflation but because he is an overall better player than Nylander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Lol. Same team that brought you Ehrhoffs contact and eventual buyout. I attached the Hoffs's buyout contract. $850,000 per year till 2025, lol. Skinner's contract is gonna look real bad sooner than later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 They know they are going to be building around Eichel for a long time. They signed Eichel to a contract he hadn't earned. They know that Eichel and Skinner have chemistry. They had no choice, they had to sign him and 9 mil is about the going rate. Now you have two forwards earning about $20M that have never won anything. Have either of them even had a whiff of the playoffs? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, there have always been questions surrounding Eichels leadership abilities. Skinner was run out of Carolina because he only plays hard in the offensive side of the ice. Doesn't sound like a winning duo to me for 20 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 8 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: Sure we will - Toronto is going to need a 120 mil cap by then so we'll be good The cap increase is a sham. It’s the escalator clause. What’s the claw back now - 20%? Teams signing average players to insane dollars are not going to be forgiven by cap increase. Skinner will be one of many buyouts after the next bargaining agreement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave my projection for a target salary for Boeser; aprox $7 mill x 6. No I don't think anything will come to him walking. My impression is Brock likes it here, will work with us.

Watch the dissention in the room as players like Wheeler and Sheiffele play their butts off for way less dollars than that floater. With the way contracts are going its quite possible.

That’s like saying urine looks better than feces if you’re Bone Spurs. Contract is really terrible but imagine the Canucks with another 30+ goal scoring winger (we have the centers on this team).
