EE, what's your prediction for PK's deal?

Michel Therrien brings out the worst in everyone

I think he'll be done by the end of the weekend, but I can't say that for sure.
And I'll say it's an average of 8.5-9M per, 8yrs

Well, I think it's pretty good. It's balanced. But it could be better if Galchenyuk can push through and be at least a 70-pt guy this year.

Galchenyuk hits 55-pts & I will be happy.

um... not happening. and this is assuming he gets the 18-20 minutes a game he should be getting by now, which is far from a given.

Of course but to hope for 70pts or more is just silly at this moment.

I think 55-60 points is possible for Galchenyuk next year.

Quick question for you Eric. Do you think that Glachenyuk will be given more offensive responsability this year? I mean second line minutes + power play time.

Personally, I think it's time for him to play big minutes and let his offensive potentiel explode!

It's very average.

It could be pretty good with Galchenyuk at 70p.

But then you'd have to move one of Eller, Desharnais or Plekanec.

Personnaly I think Galchenyuk is a center and Eller a winger.
