It would be comical if PLD signed for 8 years with the Jets and then the Jets were unable to find a team willing to take on the contract.

He can sit at home and pump gas at $ 15 an hour or take an NHL contract

Hope Carter likes Philly

Not worth 9.

They obvs don’t sign him until Brisson gets another team to agree to the terms

See Tkachuk and Florida last yr

Agreed - but don’t know what PLD camps ask is, $9M is Basu / Godin’s projections

If the best PF in the game gets 9.5 , PLD is not even in the same zipcode

 

[CH1]

Also Brisson should ask for 9 and work his way down

Sure. But… eye-rolling waste of time…

That's Hughes speak for I might consider 8m. Nothing more . Remember the cap is set to rise significantly the season after next.

It’d be nice to see PLD’s point totals rise significantly. Tkachuk didn’t see Calgary as a long term destination,yet he still found enough drive to get 100pts. We’re still waiting for PLD to break out.

The irony would be if Jets were the only team to offer him 9M but still had to trade him

 

[Habsy]

The way I see it is of the cap is going to be as much as 100m then 8m is not that high a percentage if he's over 70 points a year.

I am still interested in PLD but he hasn’t shown me enough to go 8x8. There is a “headcase risk” that should lower his price or term

 

[lecoqsportif]

7X7

We need cap for core guys like Guhle.

 

[CH1]

He had 52points in his first 52 games last year and then limped along to just 15pts in 26games (including playoffs)

Might also be a tactic to scare off other suitors.

exactly, the only reason to sign there is to get the 8th year which he could not get as a UFA

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Minnesota, hahaha, why, it is basically a rich man's Winnipeg

Sorry, but Dubois at $9M is nauseating.
