I-90 W Posted July 12, 2017 Report Posted July 12, 2017 Okay so question, if he extends this summer to lets say 8 years the new contract still doesn't come into affect until his ELC is complete though right? I know this may be stupid but I honestly don't know.
3putt Posted July 12, 2017 Report Posted July 12, 2017 Lol, he's just poking the bear But does so with a humorous consistency. I chuckled.
IKnowPhysics Posted July 12, 2017 Report Posted July 12, 2017 72 years x $600M It'll be a steal when the cap goes up. Nah, risk of poor late term asset management. Eichel could still be productive after age 92. 112 years x $952M That way, even if Jack's life span exceeds the oldest human to ever live by 10 years, we'll have him locked up. And if things don't work out, that $8.5M AAV is gonna make him pretty sweet trade bait in 2129.

I know this may be stupid but I honestly don't know. Correct. An 8 year deal and he's effectively under contract for 9 more years.
I-90 W Posted July 12, 2017 Report Posted July 12, 2017 Correct. An 8 year deal and he's effectively under contract for 9 more years. Okay that's what I thought just making sure thanks.
LGR4GM Posted July 12, 2017 Report Posted July 12, 2017 But does so with a humorous consistency. I chuckled.Yea, I kinda appreciate it.

Brawndo Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 Per Dreger I believe the Sabres want a long term deal and there is an eagerness on both sides to get a deal done. He doesn't anticipate this dragging out too much longer

darksabre Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 Duh. They need to give Rip enough time to sew the C on Jack's sweater.
pi2000 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 Per Dreger I believe the Sabres want a long term deal and there is an eagerness on both sides to get a deal done. He doesn't anticipate this dragging out too much longer Paul Hamilton just tweeted that he won't sign unless they agree to make him Captain.
WildCard Posted July 14, 2017 Author Report Posted July 14, 2017 Paul Hamilton just tweeted that he won't sign unless they agree to make him Captain. Solid effort pi
pi2000 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 Solid effort pi I'm just trying to get out ahead of it... it's inevitable.
Derrico Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 I'm just trying to get out ahead of it... it's inevitable. :w00t:
Randall Flagg Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 I'm just trying to get out ahead of it... it's inevitable. He probably speculated that it was Sam's suggestion, right?
GASabresIUFAN Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 8 years for 68 mill and throw in a case of Capt Morgan on his 21st.
WildCard Posted July 14, 2017 Author Report Posted July 14, 2017 8 years for 68 mill and throw in a case of Capt Morgan on his 21st. We want him to stay, not leave
Thorner Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 8 years for 68 mill and throw in a case of Capt Morgan on his 21st. 8 years, 80 million. Wouldn't sign for a penny below 10 mil a year if I'm Jack. 80 mil v Connor's 100 mil. Is he at least 80% the player McDavid is? His points per game mark last season says: yes.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 8 years, 80 million. Wouldn't sign for a penny below 10 mil a year if I'm Jack. 80 mil v Connor's 100 mil. Is he at least 80% the player McDavid is? His points per game mark last season says: yes. I think, based on the McDavid contract alone, if we can Jack to sign for 8 x 10, it will be a steal.
Thorner Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 I think, based on the McDavid contract alone, if we can Jack to sign for 8 x 10, it will be a steal. Agreed.
I-90 W Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 I think, based on the McDavid contract alone, if we can Jack to sign for 8 x 10, it will be a steal. Jacks agent can't even reasonably cite McDavids contract as a comparable. 8x9 and everyone should be happy.
Randall Flagg Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 I definitely still have hope for less than 10 million dollars.
TrueBlueGED Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 I definitely still have hope for less than 10 million dollars. Me too. Holding out for $9M.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 Jacks agent can't even reasonably cite McDavids contract as a comparable. 8x9 and everyone should be happy. If Thorny can do it why not a hot shot agent. Maybe Thorny is Jack's agent?
