Peaches Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I know a certain mainstreet amigo who is going to be ecstatic. Furthermore, watch landasbog completely bust. As a Canucks fan and lifelong nordiques/avs hater I'd be ecstatic if he were to bust... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander.Edler Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Thats almost Sedin money, and more than Kesler. He could be better than Kesler one day, but he would have to top 41 goals to be better than Kes in my eyes. Basically the same player (hit, score, pk, pp, Selke type player), Landy has more potential, but if he turns out to be less of a player than Kesler than bad contract. High risk high reward as mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Bettman instead of pushing for 6-7-8 maximum contract lenght, should have push for limited lenght on young player's 2nd contract. After the original ELC, young player should be limited to a 3-4 years contract to prove their worth before signing life long contracts. Proof was made that 10-12-15 years contract lenght blew up in pretty much every team's face. Luongo, Kovalchuk, Dipietro, Lecavalier, and maybe in a few years even Ovechkin. The only exception was Marian Hossa who signed a 10 years 40M deal with the Hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 shoulda signed him to a bridge contract that takes him to 1-2 year left on his rfa status then sign him to a bigger 7yr contract. if he continues to develop now it's a good contract.. but if he takes a step back because of the concussion this could end up a terrible contract.

Nuxfanabroad Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Seems most here agree this is somewhat of risk, contingent upon his health holding up. Kid's got a nicely rounded game-sure. But it's Duchesne that lifts yer arse outa' yer seat. That kid's dynamite! Looks as tho these 'Lanch are turning into Edm-south. Nice fwds, not much else?

a Fool Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Avs gave him the captaincy too early, now giving him a big money deal too early. GL will probably be worth it, but it just seems like a risk for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Subban signed a bridge and then won the Norris trophy, he can't be happy about that. Landeskog could very well win the Selke this year, but will also be compensated like the caliber of player he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
