I dont know about anyone else but I find Krug so hard to put a price tag on. We all know his defensive game is below average BUT his offensive capabilities are well above average, top 5-8 in the entire league. Our PP wouldn't be nowhere as effective without Krug, at least not until some other D'man proves they can replace him. I think he's worth 6.5-7 million a season, especially if he was on a team where he was the best defenseman. But problem being, he isnt in Beantown and I really cant see Boston being able to dish out even 6 a season. All depends I guess on what we have to give Carlo and McAvoy because this is Krug's last season under his origional contract.. All said and done, I hate for the day to come when we lose him, just hope it's not summer of 2020 where we get nothing in return. Maybe it's best to trade him as soon as possible so Bruins get an excellent return. He's easily worth a top 6 forward.

I'm seeing 3 year 15million on other sites. Bridge deal but not a bad comparable. 4 million in year one and two and 7 million in year three. Which makes it 7 million to qualify him in his next deal.

If he wants more then that then let him sit the season. I have not been posting much or following the NHL much lately due to summer and quite frankly the abject greed of the current players is beyond sickening.
Between boohoo Marner crying for 11 million when he is only being offered 9-10 million per season. Dear god the horrors of having to sign for only 9 million per season. How on earth will he survive on that? He may have to live at his parents house still.
The rest of the RFA's are all just as bad as well. They have barely played in the NHL yet want a home run contracts.
This is the first season where I could actually care less if it starts as the greed going on has actually sucked the enjoyment out of the sport for me. Took my son to the Sens Vs Red Wings games and got the cheapest seats...in the very top row behind one net. When all was said and done I was out over $150. That is the last live game I will ever pay for again in my life.

Most GMs today lack balls that’s why salaries are gone crazy. RFAs are not supposed to have leverage.

I get what you are saying but would you rather have a Marner/Laine player at 11-12m or two David Backes. The league has become a young mans game based on Speed and Skill and players are going to have their best years in the 22-30 range if the trend keeps going like it is. Might as well pay them for those years rather than have guys in the 32-35 range that you can't trade or move to the minors.

Nothing imminent on the Charlie McAvoy (BOS) or Ivan Provorov (PHI) RFA deals but with camp opening this week, and CBJ signing Zach Werenski to a three-year, $15M deal today, expectation is talks on McAvoy and Provorov will heat up considerably in the next day or two.
Werenski deal could be a catalyst for McAvoy and Provorov, but no guarantee either. Of the two big RFA D, McAvoy has proclaimed his love for BOS and it would appear he’s much more inclined to want to a longer-term deal (6, 7 or 8?) than a bridge (2 or 3). Bob McKenzie TSN ..

I wouldn't take 2 Backes because thats pretty much the worst example BUT I'll take Marchand and Pastrnak over Marner, in fact, just one of them and I still would be happy..

I would take that as well and there are a ton of great players on very good deals (Mackinnon/Sheiffle/Marchand/Pasta etc) The McDavid deal changed everything for the Young guys. Put yourself in Marner's Camp . Hes been as good for the LEafs as Matthews over his first 3 years so why should he take 7-8m per year when Matthews got $11.6/yr.

The league is making money, the players are getting 50% of the profits, everybody wins. We need more GMs with a pair of balls to take control of these RFAs, "don't like my offer, go play in the Swiss league and waste a year. We'll still own your rights when you're ready to wise up." They have zero leverage and the GMs are still running scared.

There's MORE than enough talent around to let the primadonas go to KHL or where ever!! Fuck them & & & THIER Agents!!! Thats iswho is the MAJOR backing on these High dollar $$ Contracts. BECAUSE they,THEY get a marginal % .SO they,THEY NEED to make a killing WHEN, THEY have a PRIZE TROPHY to present to the GM!! The GM's needs to say "OK He's worth xxxx for xxx yrs, BUT do NOT be SO fucking condesending that I will mortgage MY teams future!!!"

Not sure if I buy into the Carlo thing, people try to start lame ass rumors because he's not signed but really he's most likely waiting to see what Charlie gets. Either way we own Carlo's rights and the Avalanche would have to us with a big offer. Also Colorado are stacked on the blue line with youth and talent for years to come.

So Mitch Marner rejected 11 million x 7 or 8 years back in June. I'm assuming the Leafs accidentally on purpose leaked that to the press. Marner is taking a beating with the fan base and rightfully so. I wouldn't be surprised if the Loafs were actively shopping him right now but who's going to be willing to pay him 11 plus million a year.
If I was Marner I'd fire my agent, take 9 million a year and try to win back the Loaf fan base. If he doesn't sign and gets traded the poor bastard will never be able to go home again without being harassed.
