DoughtysCheck Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hampus Lindholm won't come cheap. The 22-year-old Anaheim Ducks defenseman is a restricted free agent, and it could take an eight-year contract worth more than $48 million to re-sign him, reports TSN's Bob McKenzie. Lindholm, who made his NHL debut in 2013, recorded 10 goals and 18 assists last season - good for second among all Anaheim defenders. Only the Ducks' Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf, and Ryan Kesler account for more than his request for more than $6 million per year, with Perry being the most expensive at $8.625 million. Sami Vatanen owns the blue line's biggest cap hit at $4.875 million. As it stands, 16 NHL defensemen carry a cap hit of $6 million or more. Two comparable deals are Colorado's Erik Johnson and the New York Islanders' Johnny Boychuk, who both signed seven-year, $42-million pacts. Lindholm won't attend the Ducks' training camp prior to signing a new deal. http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1115039-report-lindholm-seeking-8-year-48m-extension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bur14Kes17 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Why wouldn't you sign him for that??? He may not be worth it next season, but guaranteed two years from now 6 million will seem like a bargain for the next 6 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Tanev/Jesus for signing such a great deal. For what it's worth, all three of Horvat, Hutton, and Gudbranson are RFAs next summer. I hope they improve to their level, but I also hope their contract demands won't go like a Monahan, Lindholm, or Trouba.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sygvard Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Mental image of them literally neutering agents. "Ok boys, anyone who advocates a salary hold out is going to get sniped". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 6 million a year is a bit much but for what he brings, I think it's worth it. Anywhere from 5.5 to 6 is good in my eyes.. Technically and skill wise speaking, him and Vatanen are the future of the Ducks d-line. He wants to be paid for what he's worth and what he's bringing to the team.

Rex425 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Lindholm is pretty good, but a tad overrated. But 6 mil is fine IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I'd be absolutely fine paying him 6x8. If he's not worth it this year he will be next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I hope he gets what he's asking for and it financially cripples their team! Also, hope it gives Burns leverage and he also financially cripples his team. I hope all RFA's hold out for max money/term and cripple their teams financially.........wait a second!

Except for Horvat, Hutton and Gudbranson don't hold out for more money and sign for a reasonable price. Same with Tryamkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and Alf agree on this point for sure. All the younger hold outs should get paid a super high Cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning will, hopefully have Miller and Burrows coming off the books, as well as Sbisa possibly. It remains to be seen how it will shake out, but it will be interesting.

Rush17 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 He's asked for an arm. Would he like a leg too? LOL 6mill isn't terrible for him I just think hes asking for to much to soon. I would want to see a few more years of equal or greater production before I gave him an 8 year deal that could completely destroy that franchise is his play dips off. I would be pushing for a bridge deal if I was them. Yeah it may cost you an extra half a million each season but you will at least know what you are getting with a bigger sample size.

I bet Hall for Larsson trade completely f*cked up the way defenceman view themselves. If Larsson = Hall, and Hall makes 6 million dollars, then any defenceman who thinks of himself better or similar to Larsson now can think they worth 6 million dollars.
