They are gambling he gets better and he is then locked in
- LeafMan

eller was HORRID for like 40 games straight last year, i remember cause my hockey pool.
- big_dion

But how was his CORSI?

- DoubleDown

That is the only reason for making sense of it, they feel he is going to improve a lot.

eller: I WANT 3.1

HABS: NO!! ARBITRATION

eller: FINE

HABS: okay here's 3.5
- Dozzer

His deal is actually 2.5, 2.5, 4,5 4,5.

So yeah... take that!

Kadri's agent is salivating.
- 1979AD

Yeah no kidding.

Booth gets his game back and joins them on our top line

Leafs don't have to worry about that.

its our eller insurance

in fairness.. those 26P last season were invaluable
- Dozzer

led the team's forwards in points in the playoffs. i think that's what earned him the deal.

It's not a timeshare.

It's vacation ownership!

They're not tights

They're Meggings

No, Meggings.

- Dozzer

Yeah no kidding.

Kadri will be in the 4.75 to 5mil range, I can see it.

His deal is actually 2.5, 2.5, 4,5 4,5.

So yeah... take that!
- Scabeh

Hmmm 2.5x2 = 5 and 4.5x2 = 9. 9+5 = 14. 14/4 = 3.5.

What are we taking again?

It was his best/only argument.

But he can be a better player than he was last year for sure.... And, that one's important, he's our only center over 6 feet tall.

not a word about the Eller contract. not one (frank)ing word from any of you. kapish?
- DoubleDown

What's so bad about it.

Every player is getting paid these days. He's useful. Useful = 3 mill +


(well, except that it was more than he reportedly asked for ?)

He didn't get more than he wanted for the first two years.

I never said it was a solid argument.

Is that what swayed Bergevin to give him more than what he was asking for?

"I can be better than last year, fo sho. Plus, I'm your only C over 6ft."

Omg kill it with fire.

decapitate it first, you can never be too carefull

Well he "bought" 2 years of free agency I guess.....

And yeah...... I'm sure his potential and size did play a major role in this.

What's your prediction on PK's re-up? Keep in mind that he's also over 6ft tall and players talk, so Eller's deal will likely lead him to declaring that he'll be even better next year too.

Honestly, the longer it takes the longer I fear he'll sign for over 9M per year.

my biggest fear is that he signs something along the lines of 2 years, $17 million.

I hope not! he seems to enjoy Montreal and Montreal love PK. Let's "pray" for a long deal

- Aetherial

i guess. it's not a cap crippler. he's just been such a disappointment every season except for the lockout season. he's got size and talent, just cannot put it together. there is no good reason for him not to be similar to a Travis Zajac.

That's probably what he'll get if it goes to arbitration.
