Sounds a lot like the Gaudreau negotiations. |
I wonder how much the "other guy" also being available could impact decisions to go to UFA or not...if both JG and FF hit UFA it might hurt their values a tiny bit, or at least add more uncertainty about whether they are choice #1 or not for their desired teams.
FF is 1 year younger, plays a 200ft game, and most importantly will be looking at a lower AAV (because JG is still the better player, and also more durable). Certain teams may prefer one guy over the other - presumably any team looking for a major upgrade on the wing is looking at both of them.
But if 1 of them re-signs, then the other will definitely be the prettiest girl at the dance and have less risk by going to UFA.
