LGR4GM Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 SJS IMPO would have to send a 2019 1st, Josh Norris, Dillon or Braun and something else in this deal. Maybe Roy or Merkley. Would be a big trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like his aav could be north of Jamie Benn’s $9.5 mil. Very surprised Seguin accepted less than Eichel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"To be perfectly honest, we had advised Jack to play out the year because we feel that there is a greater potential for more money at the end of this season. But it was important for Jack to get a deal done that was friendly for both sides and it would not hamstring the Sabres going forward. He wants to help the Sabres win a championship someday." ...meanwhile, in Toronto, AM is demanding at least $12.5/yr... because that's what's important to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're aware that "anonymous Western conference GM" have been reported to say things like that all of the time, and have been flagrantly wrong all of the time, right? That does not constitute an actual report. Nobody with a shred of credibility has yet said Auston is demanding that money. And if you were so inclined, with the evidence available, you'd have a much easier time construing Jack's contract as detrimental to the team and selfish, and you'd describe Peter Fish's words (it's his f*cking AGENT for christ's sake, of course he's going to say that) as cover, and point out that 10 million per year for a player who hadn't hit 60 points ever as outrageous, while AM is humming along quietly scoring more goals than anyone else in the NHL per game on his elc.

Just curious hat's your prediction for AM's contract extension? When will he sign and for how much? And do you think that's a fair number? As an example of other GM's being obtuse - an NHL GM actually "bet his house" that Lou was going to offer sheet Nylander this summer. The Matthews quote was merely a bet of a steak dinner. I predict he gets 11 million and signs sometime before training camp of the season that his contract actually doesn't cover. It is completely fair, considering Jack got 10 million for a 56 point season and a 76 pace season with no awards. Matthews has an award, has the 2nd best goal scoring rate of all NHL players over his first two seasons, one of which was a teenage season, and has experienced far more team success. He had a 69 point season and then paced for like 84. He's won them a playoff game before. 11 million would be completely fair if it were to be inked right this second, and he has an opportunity to increase that value. It would be reasonable, if he played a key role in a playoff run and won a Hart, Richard, or Rocket, to maybe even match McDavid's number. It depends on what happens and when he signs.
