Can't see O'Reilly getting anything starting with a 7. Something starting with a 6 is possible for sure. I think he could be realistic though and take less to try and win, but I see the appeal for teams to throw money at him.A team willingly gave Kadri 7xforever last summer. Never underestimate the stupidity of NHL GM's with cap space. ROR looked good enough for us to believe the narrative that he's fine and worth the investment.
This I struggle with. He's no Hyman and was demoted for much of the second half of the season, made a bonehead move in the playoffs and the team started winning with Knies in his place. I think he stays for the local discount, but you're right that sillier things have happened.lol. keep going mate.
Bunting probably comes in at something in the 4-6 years 4.5-5.5 range. Ryan Strome signed 5x5 last summer, 34 yr old Reilly Smith signed 5x3yrs. Mason Marchment signed 4.5x4 after a single 18 goal season. Bunting is coming off of back to back 23 goal seasons without 1st unit PP time. Now, I'm the first to say "beware of paying the worst player on a line/PP unit/etc", but that's not really subscribed to around the league. His ratfuckery is going to be valued in addition to his offence.
I trust Dubas with RFA's. But also think Woll is the better goalie, so if he starts going there, I'd rather trade Sammy.Sammy's agent isn't going to give away UFA years for cheap but just for safety will probably prefer a multi year deal instead of a QO & show me year. His agent will probably try to value UFA years at 5 million, and the rfa year at 3.5ish. 3/13.5 total.
Could be for sure and I hope that's the case. But I don't think he's quite as comfortable as Gio to take the minimum. But we'll see.lol, why do people keep acting like a guy who has literally been a UFA a bunch of times and keeps getting offered vet min or damn close is going to end up at nearly 2x that at 33-34?
I'm good with bringing Schenn back, but we're talking about .9-1.0 here (basically the .850 he made this year + cap inflation).
Happy to come to all of these later on and see where they end up.
