Fluery extended 7 years 35 mill.

[Bigthuder1636]

per TSN Fluery signed a 7 year $35 mil contract with the Pens today. I really think this could be the benchmark for Miller negotiations. It would allow the Sabres to have some room to better the team which has to be a concern of his and still provides security to Miller.

My take for Miller:

5 years 30 million

6, 6.5, 7, 5.5, and 5

[Two or less]

I would not mind that at all.

I'm sure Miller might though

 

Is Fleurys one good year now make him comparible to Miller?

That sounds more than reasonable. Frankly, I think he will want more to stay in Buffalo. I have a bad feeling that the Red Wings are going to be after him if we don't get him signed before the end of the season, and he will go back to Michigan if the price is right. I have feeling that if Buffalo really wants him back, it's going to have to be something more along the lines of 6 years 44 Mil., averaging just over 7 mil per season. It would be pricey, but if they paid 7 for 50 for vanek, Miller is going to expect something similar. Without him, this team really implodes, so hopefully Regier and the FO don't screw this up with another 5 for 25 offer. That would send him packing to Detroit, and likely a Stanley Cup, pretty fast.

The average seems right but it will probably go 5, 5.5 6, 6.5, 7.

 

The decreasing later years only make sense for organizations interested in future buy out possibilities.
