David Poile thinks of the cap first before making any moves

What's an expected time table to lock up our restricted free agents?

Saw this earlier. Wonderfully written. Lots of respect there.

What's an expected time table to lock up our restricted free agents?

Arvidsson and Watson filed for Arbitration, which happens in early August. Unlike MLB where the arbiter comes up with a number, in the NHL it's either the teams number or the player's. If the arbiter decides on the player's number, the team can decline and the player is instantly a UFA. You can negotiate up until the hearing is complete.

Preds kind of screwed themselves with Johansen now that McDavid's extended, whereas the top salary in the league was 10.5 last week and now it's 12.5. He didn't file for arbitration, so he's probably shooting really high. That one might not get done until Traverse City.

What kind of numbers will they be looking for you think?

I like the 10 year one better

Looks like the Wise Potato Chip Owl logo

Aberg signed for 2 years

Love the Aberg signing! Thing he is gonna show out this year

 

[YankeeVol]

Arvi - 7 yrs, $29.75 mil!!!!!

:rock:

 

[SDV]

Yes!!! No letting up on momentum. We will be very strong again next season

Heck of a deal, even if the past season was a minor outlier.

 

[38401]

Locked him up! Love that it is also pretty team friendly.

 

[05_never_again]

Looks like Arvidsson took more years as opposed to more per year. Interesting move for him; hopefully his 5'9'' frame holds up. I'm not so sure that's a good deal for him.

 

[YankeeVol]

Watson has been re-signed. 3 yr deal

 

[38401]

Johansen signed for 8 years! Let's ride boys!

 

[YankeeVol]

That's a lot of dough for anyone, let alone RJ

The McJesus contract shifted the pay for 1C by a lot. If not for that it would've probably been $7m per.

All depends on league revenues (more or less the value of the Loonie) as to how good or bad it is.

I think it's a fair deal for all involved, expires as he nears the end of his legitimate #1 years

If we get playoff Johansen from now on, it's worth it.

He's young enough to where I don't think it's a bad deal. Still about $5 mil from the cap I believe as well

 

[05_never_again]

Mr. Underwood retired. Good for him. I'd go home to Carrie too if I were him. He wasn't going to play for just a couple mil a year.

 

[SDV]

Happy for Fisher. Gets to retire and stay in Nashville

Wonder who becomes captain? Think they give it to PK?
