Saying “I am willing to stay” vs “I want to stay” definitely sounds like a guy who needs a big contract on his terms so I expect it could have a full NMC, heavy bonuses, and as high of an AAV as possible. No different than Huberdeau, Weegar, or Kadri. Players are willing to play here but unlike many US markets it would t be their first choice. It is not like this is new information.
