SilentSam Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 14 minutes ago, Elias Pettersson said: We’re not signing Zadorov to an 8 year deal. He’ll get 6 years. Open market is $6 million. He’ll take less to stay. I think the deal gets done at around $5 million. Give or take. His wife has literally told him to sign in Vancouver. Get his wife to sign ! She can write Nik into a pre - nup agreement.!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 12 minutes ago, Elias Pettersson said: Check my username. I’m already on record as saying Zadorov is 100% re-signing in Vancouver. I said this before Elliotte Friedman did. Check my previous posts in this thread from Monday. Can I borrow a small $116,000, Elias? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 (edited) 9 minutes ago, HKSR said: A contract in place means he will be paid that amount regardless of what his performance is. It doesn't need to be front loaded. You're mixing up cap hit with actual salary paid. If his contract is $38M over 8 years, he WILL be paid $38M over 8 years. If he's being paid $36M over 6 years, he WILL be paid $36M over 6 years... we just don't know what happens after those 6 years. The 8 year deal guarantees him that extra $2M. That’s not true. He could get bought out at any time for 2/3’s of what’s left of the contract. Or he could simply retire and walk away. 8 years is a long time. At 6 years he could still play and get a new contract if he wants to continue playing. Edited June 21 by Elias Pettersson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 34 minutes ago, SilentSam said: Hmmm .. Sounds hopeful. I’m guessing Big Z has agreed to a total dollar (36 mil?) and now it’s about the term. F it. Go 7 years and get the cap where we need it to be. Go eight years if we have to. Sign this guy! MOFUs!!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSam Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Let’s put it this way, we might be concerned with what Niks contract looks like now,. But in another year or 2 .. and On, I think we realize what he allowed the Team to do with a Term contract that did not hurt them. I hope , with Niks play, that we realize how grateful we are that he was looking for a true home here , and a Team he could call his at the end of his Career.

Zimmyparttwo Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 1 minute ago, Devron said: And then in between that. “They are far apart and won’t resign” There isn’t an insider inside enough to be able to report anything with any level of accuracy. What purpose does it serve the negotiating parties to have inside information made public? Does anyone honestly think that individuals dealing with tens of millions of dollars are going to be influenced by what is being reported by these insiders? I’d prefer if the entire roster of insiders were referred to by what they are : speculators. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s his wife’s money regardless if she signs or not. The wifey and the kids aren’t leaving Vancouver. That’s guaranteed. So Big Z either signs here or goes elsewhere without his family. This is what I was told. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if he's like Luongo and decides at 36 he doesn't want to go through the vigors of 2 more nhl seasons but he's locked in to plsyingbthem if he wants his money. He can play like absolute crap and still get paid. In fact, he could play so badly that he sits in the press box or gets demoted, he still gets paid.

Her favourite city is Vancouver. So she’s staying here regardless. And his daughters too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
