JM_ Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 1 minute ago, oldnews said: I don't know - but prices seem to be tanking - and market value for players and the ability to move contracts appears quite low - so waiting might not hurt if the market continues to be set and trending low....if you sign players up front at high cap hits and then the market tanks....that's the counterpoint risk. Personally I'd be comfortable signing Tanev to 4x$4/5 range, and Markstrom to Lehner range - however if these trolls on TSN suggesting Edmonton may offer max term/a huge contract has any teeth, he might get priced out of sense... Oh, here's Ferraro talking about balls.... I think you're in the right ballpark there. But if Calgary wants to throw 40+ mil at Marky and 6 or 7 years, I say congratulations and goodbye Marky. I'm a little surprised Tanev wasn't offered a 2 or 3 year extension at his current deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we do know is that players tend to slow down on average as they hit their 30's and those who don't are not the norm. Peak likely being around 25-28 for most players from what I've seen/read. It's not about having a hunch...it's about going by history. He's recently had surgery and things start to impact play over time. Can we find examples of players who don't fall off? Sure...but look at them as an exception not the rule. Also have to consider who they play with, how they play, etc. With that and in comparison...some of those people are ready to write Brock off at 23?!?! But markstrom will continue to be elite and get better till he's 35?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Dizzle Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Just now, Kobayashi Maru said: Agreed, and if Arizona doesn't play by that deadline, I bet they have that contract on their books until the end. Based on what I hear, that would be the worst case scenario for Arizona vs moving him for next to nothing. JB has leverage for sure, but we can't wait to let everything pass us by. JB better have control of this whole thing. I mean when multiple parties are involved you can only have so much ‘control’. I think the most control JB holds is the ability to be willing to walk away.

I’m willing to take that gamble. Championship teams aren’t made safely. They need audacity and risk and courage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sort of hybrid bubble would work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Just now, Rush17 said: No Jim. Stay firm don't add. Hard to know what the first offer is and what the add could be but I'm more in the camp of find a way to get it done. OEL changes our team for the better especially with Loui not in the cards anymore. Other options are definitely in the status quo situation or worse.

-DLC- Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 OEL: Oh God....I think Jim has to have HIS limit set and it's now being forced on him a bit. Which scares me...we're in the position of strength on this and can walk away. He's maybe TOO focused on this one player and is letting pride get in the way. We don't HAVE to get this done...they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
