Half his salary. It’s significant.

[AH$$$]

Now someone do Gauthier same day.

What are they gonna do now ? Tell Gutter he is only worth 10 after paying Leo $18M?

Anaheim is cooked they can’t afford both and a half decent D.

 

[Habsy]

Anaheim doesn’t front load contracts. Going to be interesting.

 

[Thurston]

The Carlsson offer sheet makes me like the Demidov contract even more.
If Carlsson's going to get $18 million and Demidov signs for less than $10 million, that's a slick piece of business by Hughes.

 

[Habsy]

Wish the Habs would do something like this for a center. Maybe not 18m but fuck the picks if it’s a rising stud.

Now what will SJ have to pay Celebrini?

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

I would take the 15 mil from Seattle and have my family and kids set for life

They will be set if he waits. You don't have to take where don't want to play when know money will come anyway.

 

[CH1]

Everyone credits Hughes for these team friendly contracts but at least half the credit should go to the players — they are fully aware how much money they’re leaving on the table… But they’re signing anyway because they want to be part of a cup championship team

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

not the 8th year

So he gets 14 for 7 and then in 8th yr gets 17

 

[GEEMAN]

So he gets 14 for 7 and then in 8th yr gets 17

or maybe not

 

[Rolex]

or maybe not

Although money is kinda everything.....i'm sure he'd rather sacrifice a year if it means getting a NTC

Make the enemy of your enemy your best friend.

Unfortunately Gauthier isn’t eligible for an offer sheet

 

[Sal_Butera]

Time for HuGo to strike on Robertson 5yrs @ $14M w $59M paid in bonuses

Or better yet just be an asshole and offer up 1yr @ $14M ($9M in bonus) walking him into UFA

 

[AH$$$]

Those Marchment, Nurse and Trouba contracts will look extra fugly when they can’t match the $25M per year offer sheet.

Sal....how does bonuses work for teams like Habs ?

In terms of taxes.....are bonuses taxed less, hence why Canadian teams can offer them to players ???

A lot less. It works with American residents

Not so much for Canucks — see CRA vs Tavares
