They won’t give a 1st round pick either, maybe a 7th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just jealous of the ridiculous contract value that Jack Hughes carries and desperately want him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him an ultimatum that he needs to give an answer by time the playoffs start or they look to move him out and no playoffs for him. Two can play that game me thinks. Yes the Lotto line is playing well but Miller and Boeser were playing pretty good before he joined them. Hughes and Miller are our heart and soul guys and they will lead us into the playoffs with or without him. Ritherford is a legend and I don't get the idea that he messes around. I'm sure peteys agent will get exactly that message here soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When QHs gets to free agency year, don't be shocked to see him also do this. I'm sure there are others on our team as well. Just going by cap era. This is my point. Usually when it gets to this point after being offered any contract you want it means he wants out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT is tied for 4th in league scoring with the likes of 10-12M players. Dem is a top 5 goalie in the NHL and also getting paid at a good value Let’s not forget QH, the best defender in the NHL, also on a sweetheart deal. Our team wins more so than Jersey for value contracts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RookieFan Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) After the news today about EP attitude on his contract sadly there now has to be serious considerations to be made to trade him.

What’s the distinction in your view? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s earned the right to do that. Crazy that he wants to wait. He is taking a risk that could cost him upwards of 100 million dollars. God forbid it happens but if he had a freak accident whether it be a bad concussion, cut with a skate, blowing out his knee, stick in the eye etc he would have no guarantees for income. All this for what? Maybe an extra half a million per season that will be taxed to death? The kids got balls of steel I will give him that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I think there's no harm in putting this to rest, parking it and dealing with it in the off-season. If anything, it takes the distraction away. Let him play, let's go on a playoff push and decide once the dust has settled. He was scoring at 2PPG to start the year, then went dead quiet, now the Lotto line is back he's back on pace for over 100pts. No point signing him now when we don't know how good or bad he'll end the year. If he has a monstrous playoffs, he deserves a big payoff. If he disappears in the playoffs, that has to be taken into consideration at least a little bit. Let's get all the information and pay him fairly depending on how he performs, whether that be higher or lower than expected. I think it's a smart move to say that the negotiations have stopped and we'll sort it out in the off-season. Haven't heard any buzz at all about a Hronek extension and likely the same plan will go through. Busy off-season yet again for Allvin who's going to have to sign two stars to massive extensions and then deal with the rotation of Myers/Cole out and someone else in perhaps. I know it seems a bit silly too but these are contract years for Petey, Hronek and Myers and go figure they're all playing out of their socks this year. Always seems to happen, as much as players may not say so, they all play a bit better in their contract year so let's keep that buzz going.

Our team wins more so than Jersey for value contracts. I agree, our core players are signed at good contracts for at least the next few years. I feel very comfortable with this. We should a least get 3-4 playoff runs before worrying about the key players. Having JR around for this time gives me even more confidence in our team in this timeframe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the thing, he has the chance to set him and his family up for life, why wait? If he wants to win, there is a pretty good chance of him doing that here,this owner always spends to the cap and seems quite motivated on building a winning team. So why the wait then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
