Hardball for discounts means I think they could be left with Bouchard while the other two seek greener pastures after running out the clock.

If you’re Evan boo boo then this is probably going to work out well. You can take the nurse overpayment comparable contract when presented, or you can wait to see what the glitter twins do, or you can use the desperation around the Oilers to drive the contract even higher, or even get a short term deal if you must to get to UFA even faster.
I think that the blank cheque approach would get all 3 deals done, but it wouldn’t leave a lot for everyone else. And even max term max money won’t make any difference if the player has emotionally checked out and wants to go elsewhere.
Draisatl’s agent should already know what contracts pissy could get on the open market in 10 months. Pissy may not get another contract after this one, so no one can miss the opportunity for maximum. $12 isn’t going to get this done.
On serivalli, is there any reason to think that pissy’s opening position wouldn’t be max/max? Why would they start at anything else?
