I always find it strange how long these negotiations take. Obviously it can be complicated but I always feels like if the agent and team spent a full day at an office working on it, it could be done that quickly.
Treliving has likely accepted that if you are going to sign him, it will likely be for 8 years and will likely include some kind of NMC/NTC. So once you have those things in place, it’s finding comparable numbers around the league.
I think the final number is $8 million. Gaudreau’s camp might be asking for $9 million while the flames are likely offering $7 million.
Obviously I’m over-simplifying it. It’s a complicated process that every team/player goes through. Just frustrating that if both the team and the player want to get this done, it should be easier to get it done.
