TrueBlueGED Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Anyone interested? Dennis Seidenberg has been informed he will be bought out by the Bruins. Good left shot D on the market. We already employ Dennis Seidenberg, he just goes by Josh Gorges while in a Buffalo uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 If McDavid is smart he'll sign an offer sheet that's a 4 year deal once he's eligible. Edmonton will match it for sure but that will still set him up to reach UFA status after the minimum 7 years and he'll be able to punch his ticket basically anywhere. He'll be the best UFA ever at the age of 25. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Aaron Ward @NHL_AaronWard 7m7 minutes ago With the flexibility of the Seidenberg buyout, expect an announcement soon of Boston Bruins and RFA Torey Krug agreeing to a 4 year deal.

Hoss Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Brian Campbell said publicly he would take a major discount to play in Chicago. This seems like a foregone conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Also, earlier this morning Andy Strickland reported that Campbell is expected to sign in Chicago on a 1 year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton will match it for sure but that will still set him up to reach UFA status after the minimum 7 years and he'll be able to punch his ticket basically anywhere. He'll be the best UFA ever at the age of 25. And if he continues his trajectory, an offer of around $15 million per year likely would be matched by EDM, but put them in a big bind. The trick is that the offer sheeting team likely wouldn't want him just signed for 4 years either, but they could later extend him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton will match it for sure but that will still set him up to reach UFA status after the minimum 7 years and he'll be able to punch his ticket basically anywhere. He'll be the best UFA ever at the age of 25.Would be smarter to offer him 3 years. He wants out of Edmonton & would go arbitration in 4th year & then out if he's back there. (Could always re-offer sheet him then also but to a 1 yr deal, so when Eulers match, he'll be UFA the following year anyway.) If the offer sheet weren't matched by the Eulers, the team that signed him would have 2 years to get a LT deal done; the last year of the 3 yr deal & then that last year of RFA status. (Assumes he doesn't get another offer sheet, but now the team that gave him the original offer sheet gets to match or take the 4-1's.) If they give him 4 year deal, only have 1 year to get the deal worked out before he's UFA. Note: this is from signing team's perspective, not McClavicle's. Though, assuming no career ending injury in yrs 1-3, this nets him the most money as well & still has him out of Edmonton at 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Another solid Risto comparable. Not really. Krug is 4 years older, and has 3 seasons in a row of +40 points and is a cumulative +40 over the past 3 seasons. Risto only has a 20 point season and a 40 point season thus far is a combined -53 over the past 2 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risto only has a 20 point season and a 40 point season thus far is a combined -53 over the past 2 seasons. This is fair, but at the same time they are both good, young, all-around defensemen who are/were RFAs. I agree that Krug's numbers justify a higher contract than Risto's do.

I agree that Krug's numbers justify a higher contract than Risto's do. I agree Risto's upside is very close to a Torrey Krug, but he's not quite at that level yet, which makes it seem like a bridge deal is in the best interest of both parties.

Taro T Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Interesting...do we know this as a near certainty or is it speculation? Speculation & following from Drunkard's premise. IF he wants to stay there his whole career, that's an option for him. But even Ryan Smyth had to get the #### out of Dodge for a few years. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
