Ok, all you other signed RFAs...you are up...
Today Jared Spurgeon signed a 7 year deal at 7.5 per...the biggest contract in Wild History...and somewhat surprisingly higher than either Provorov or Werenski...and the BIG Fish is still out there..
Charlie McAvoy, who some are calling among the best American born D-men in history, has yet to sign with the Bruins...If this stays true to form McAvoy should be over $8M per...and the Bruins want to go long term..which could push that number higher still...
Is the Marner Contract going to speed up Rantanen, Point, or Laine?
I talked to one agent who said it wouldn't have any effect on the three other big names yet to sign because the belief is Marner got around $2 million more per year than he would have in Colorado, Winnipeg, or Tampa...
of those three....Rantanen is the only one I am hearing any positive possibility of signing as of now...I will be updating tonight though...the calls are fast and furious...
more to come
