Nah easier to use an inferior hockey player with just one good season

Typically it is positional. I think the Nurse camp pointed to the Werenski and Jones deals as comparables as opposed to forwards.

Maybe Bobrovsky used McDavid as the comparable when he negotiated his deal with Florida?

Just point to Nurse’s new contract and tell Treliving to pay up

Treliving can just point to Landeskog's contract and tell Johnny "sign here".


Last 2 seasons:


Landeskog - 44 pts & 52 pts + 26 playoff points
Johnny - 58 pts & 49 pts + 7 playoff points.


Johnny at $8 mil + will be a huge mistake.

Of course, they are not the same but it would be hard for Treliving to short change Johnny while the rival overpaid by a large margin

That’s another way to look at it

I don't think so. If you have an idiot of a friend who over pays for his house does it mean you have to over pay for yours?

No way you make a bad financial decision just cause the idiot up the road does.

This thread is so weird. Half talk about Johnny's extension, half speculation about an Eichel trade, with the occasional random tangent. All just randomly flipping between them.

It will all make sense at the joint press conference next week

This thread is trying to will Johnny and Jack into a real life pairing!

LW and D are not the same position. You cannot compare Forward contracts with Dmen contracts or Goalie contracts. It's pretty simple.

So if Treliving can’t sign him then it’s the Flames fault?


It also doesn’t say anything about him doesn’t want to go to Philadelphia

Most players would say the same thing they like to stay if the owners want to pay to keep them

It’s not arbitration

They can use whatever they want

Escalating salary for any hockey players can help their case

Well he also doesn't say he wants to ride a llama naked through West Edmonton Mall. Like you expected him to say during a press conference talking about the Flames season "Oh, I don't want to play for Philly"? Why would he do that?

It's promising, but honestly, what else is he supposed to say in front of the media?

The same thing Tkachuk did? Or nothing to report yet? He certainly didn't have to say he loved playing in Calgary and would like to stay.

[Psytic]

This would have been done already and they were probably thinking in the 8s at one time. With all these contracts signed recently though, Landeskog, Hall, Etc. its obvious in the current market that would be crazy. Now I suspect this drags out.

There are only 3 threads needed on this site:

1) GDT
2) PGT
3) Jankowski Stuff

I believe all this Eichel, Gaudreau and other miscellaneous talk can just go in the Jankowski Stuff thread.
