I-90 W Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3putt Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Lol, he's just poking the bear But does so with a humorous consistency. I chuckled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share 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.

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.

Jacks agent can't even reasonably cite McDavids contract as a comparable. 8x9 and everyone should be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Thorny can do it why not a hot shot agent. Maybe Thorny is Jack's agent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
