Popular Post King Heffy Posted September 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2021 That's a pretty brutal AAV for for the worst term possible. This isn't good for us at all. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goalie13 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 While I hope EP's deal is for less (for selfish fan / cap hit reasons), hopefully he will sign soon now that this domino has fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Kaprizov contract will actually end up being like 25 million AAV cause they had to buyout Suter and Praise to make it work 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hopefully if Petey signs for that AAV they can tack on 2+ more years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 24K PureCool Posted September 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) I am totally open to trade Hughes and Pettey now or sit their asses for the year if they are gonna significantly increase their ask after this. JB hold the line! Edited September 21, 2021 by 24K PureCool 7 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Provost Posted September 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) No thanks to that deal. Not buying free agent years and giving top dollar. None of these kids have earned those salaries with what they have brought on the ice yet. Sit for a while and watch the team play while losing money every day if that is the price/term expected. The two players tried to get leverage by going with the same agent. It also gives us leverage to simply choose not to sign Hughes and let him sit the year if we can’t get a combined deal good enough for our liking. Hughes doesn’t get to sign until Petterson does at a reasonable rate. 3-4 years @ $7-7.5 5-6 years no thanks 7-8 years @8.5-9 Edit: I had calculated his free agent day year wrong. No to 4-5 year term. 6 year term for $8 million Edited September 21, 2021 by Provost 2 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
204CanucksFan Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Has to be good news for us as far as using KK as a comparable for EP. KK is 2 years older than EP so a 5 year term is buying up more UFA years. That would put EP at around 7×$9 million as a same contract. I could live with that contract.

Coconuts Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 There's one domino, who's next? If either of our guys get that kinda dough we'd better be getting UFA years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberz21 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 WoW, if that was a hard négociations and it ended at 9, what was he asking?? 10-11? Who does he thinks he his, Mcdavid? hope EP values the Tampa Bay models. Yes taxes are a factor, but it’s more than that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dixon Ward Posted September 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2021 Another Russian prima donna. He has 1 year under his belt and now makes more than Draisatl, Crosby, Aho, Heiskanen, Hedman, tell me which one you would trade for Kaprizov? The Wild screwed everybody, including their own internal salary expectations. This is just dumb. 5 9 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to remember that KK is 2 years older the EP so the Wild bought up 3 years of UFA from KK. Edited September 21, 2021 by 204CanucksFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK was only three years from UFA, so two of those five years of this contract are UFA years. Petey would need to sign 9 mil x 7 years to be the same, no? Personally id love to see a 9 x 7 for Petey and 7 x 3 for Hughes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And OV is the greatest goal scorer in the league’s history, and is a beast of a power forward. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
