Schenn's Next deal

[Kin]

I see something 3.25-3.5 year for five with bonus's

Can not See BB getting tied up on salary cap with possible bonus problems. Will be straight salary

In part, I suppose, because there are no more performance bonuses allowed that could affect the salary cap on Schenn's deal.

Seriously folks. Pretty rudimentary cap stuff six years in.

A few sources (McKenzie, Siegel, Kypreos, Mirtle) are reporting the Schenn deal is close and will likely be done by Friday.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Great news.  Not that it was a distraction, but will be nice when it gets done all the same.

 

[Kessel Run]

Great indeed. Didn't want him missing any of camp.

 

[Zee]

I wasn't worried.  Much.

It's rumoured to be around $4 million a year. I like Luke and all but 4 million for a non-scoring dman? He might be worth that in a couple of years, but I had him maxed at about 3-3.25 max. Unless it's for 5-6+ years, I don't think I like it.... yet.

That would seem high. Bogosian just signed a 2 year deal for $5Million , $2M first. $3Million second , so avg. and cap hit of $2.5 Million

Well, I'd say Schenn has been significantly better than Bogosian, who has been really been a disappointment - porous defence and underwhelming offence . . . not exactly a combination that leads to high salary.

As for $4M being high, that all depends on how long the deal is. If we're talking 2 or 3 years, then, yeah, it's on the high side, but, if we're talking long-term, that changes things.

I'd just like to draw attention to the fact that Kyper was wrong on the Bogo deal. Don't know how long ago it was when I  made comments about Kyper being generally unreliable...but I think I still stand by it.

 

[Bender]

Yeah, they want BOGO to prove himself. I think it depends. $3-3.5 short term(2-3yrs), $4-4.5 long term (4-6yrs). Although Regier really broke the bank with the Myers deal @5.5 per.

Is the Myers deal official?

 

[maplesyrup]

What was the Myers deal?

 

[Bender]

What was the Myers deal?

AFAIK 7yrs, 38.5M. Should work out to roughly 5.5M/yr

Not yet, no.

 

[Kin]

I think 4 million per is just about right regardless of the term. Some here are undervaluing what a really good defensive defenseman is worth to a team.

I disagree, generally I find him to be quite reliable apart from the occasional  minor detail on contracts.

To me, unreliable describes hacks like eklund and his type.

 

[maplesyrup]

AFAIK 7yrs, 38.5M. Should work out to roughly 5.5M/yr

That buys what 3 years of UFA? I don't think that's a terrible deal for Buffalo.

Yeah, I've found Kypreos to be pretty sound.

I find some to that with forwards too. Far too often folks look at goals and points as the starting point for determining a player's worth. Any guesses on what Peter Zezel in his prime whould get as a UFA these days?

In a few years I bet that deal will look very similar to the ones that Burke gave Getzlaf and Perry.
