Unfortunately Heiskanen makes 8.4 million/season and Makar makes 9. I think Hughes will shake out at 8-8.5. hopefully over 6-8 years. I think Pettersson will be 10-12/year on a 6-8 as well. As he’s a top 50 player in this league and the only guys making less than 8 seem to be guys around 30 that are moving out of their prime. Heiskanen is a stud two way defender that plays in all situations While Hughes , doesn't play on the pk.... Hughes offense is the best, defense not the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Me I would give them both 7 and have one year of rfa left to resign or trade, plus a nice signing bonus!!! I do not know why we have 4 RHD's maybe one will be traded so we can get cap space and sign dickenson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes offense is the best, defense not the best That’s True. Looking through all NHL D contracts, there’s a whole plethora of unimpressive D-men making 5.5-6.5/season. I bet Hughes gets at least 6.5. The thing that worries me is having Brisson and Barry as his agents(same as Pettersson). Both are known to be real sharks.

RU SERIOUS Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 3 hours ago, wallstreetamigo said: This is not even close to being accurate. Quinn Hughes is statistically one of the worst 5 on 5 defenders in the NHL at this point. He has a long way to go to be in the Norris conversation or to be considered a comparable to Makar. Krug is better defensively than Hughes. Not great but not a black hole. Hughes has not yet learned how to create offense without sacrificing defensive play. He also has not learned how to control a game defensively using his skating, passing, and shiftiness. The hope is that he does start to do these things and he certainly has the potential to. But to say he is already there is just not accurate. Well said and good on you for reminding the Quinn Fan club about the reality that he is one of the worst defecemen in the entire league, Number #3 (worst) +/- rating (at a staggering Minus -24) out of three hundred and sixteen defencemen in the entire National Hockey Leauge and Number#7 worst +/- rating out of all Nine Hundred and thirteen palyers in the league. Mind numbing!!! Nothing to write home to mom about...............! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind numbing!!! Nothing to write home to mom about...............! He played 50% of his ice time with Hamonic and was -1 in that time on an awful team. That is pretty good. He played under 20% of his ice time with Tyler Myers and was -14 in that time. That is awful. While he definitely had his struggles it may have had more to do with extrinsic factors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to see an offer sheet for EP. Bergevin in Mon has really $&!# the bed this offseason. I coukd see him doing something stupid. I don’t see Bergevin offer sheeting anybody with only $23,630 in cap space as well as still needing to sign Kotkaniemi and Lehkonen. The number of teams with cap space and that would be attractive are dwindling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing an offer sheet doesnt make a player a douchebag. Not sure why people say that. If a UFA signs with a different team does that make them a douchebag? Because its essentially the same mechanism for an RFA with compensation attached for the original team. If Benning lowballs EP why wouldnt he consider an offer sheet? Or if he just wants a contract done and not have it drag on, whats wrong with forcing the team to match an offer sheet?

The only thing we do know is for some readon this contract is not done yet. Coukd be Benning trying to cheap out, could be EP and his agent waiting for the leverage the threat of an offer sheet gets them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it doesn’t make him a douchebag but I also doubt that he would sign one. If Benning offered him 3 x 8 or 8 x 9 and Petey’s agent was holding out for 3 x 9 or 8 x 10.3 would that mean JB was lowballing him? If EP waits too long and forces JB to sign Dickinson, Hughes and Juolevi first just to gain leverage then I definitely wouldn’t match and let him walk. Not that I think for a moment that EP would do that but if so don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. I have no interest in a player that puts every last dollar for himself before the interest of the team. But to reiterate, that doesn’t seem like Petey to me and I’m not the least bit concerned that the signing hasn’t happened yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The risk of an offer sheet is real though. Who knows if EP would sign one or not. But its definitely added leverage for his agent to let Benning think he might. I dont blame the player or the agent at all. EP and Hughes should have been done before anything else. Why tempt fate if you dont have to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think he should be paid well but reasonably you carry on with the rest of the work that needs doing while negotiating. I don’t blame the player, the agent or JB at all. That’s what negotiations are all about. Assigning credit or blame to either of the three is for later. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4petesake Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Anaheim, Seattle, Nashville, Columbus, New Jersey, Rangers, Buffalo, Detroit, or Ottawa are the teams with cap space to make an offer sheet. So ask yourself which ones would be inviting to EP? Which ones have the potential for those 4 first rounders to be very high? I’d take the 4 1sts from most of those teams if push came to shove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
