I’d go 6. Not ideal but if it gets him here.

I think Eichel could extend his lifespan

- sbroads24


Taking another look...

Patch is gonna turn 30 in Nov
So he will be turning 31 right at the beginning of his next contract

I don’t think I’d go more than 5yrs
Not at the 7mil or so he will command

He's going to very careful on medium/long term deals imo. They can't afford to make another mistake, before their window to contend even opens.
- Lunaion


Yeah, this makes sense

Probably don’t want to add another “Okposo” type contract when he’d probably like to get that one off our books

Wonder what it would take to get Namestikov out of the Rangers.
He could be a bood fit on the left.
Played center, but listed as LW/C, shoots left.
Fast and talented...could be a nice add.

- IonSabres


He played LW last year without Stamkos & Kucherov and lit it up

aquaman the movie has to be released


then if aquaman does not beat the avengers infinity wars in the box office for the first 120 days in the theater, over 2 billion dollars


he then has to go away for a month


if by some chance aquaman beats the avengers, not likely as it is the 4th highest grossing movie of all time, I go away for a month


aquaman is released dec 21st, so april 21st, gerbe will be out of action for a month when the sabres are in the playoffs

Rumors around the draft were that we had interest in him.

I wouldn’t be thrilled with a long term deal, but he’d be great with Eichel IMO

- sbroads24


He's a guy you have to inquire on. If 6x6 wasn't enough, there isn't much to discuss. I wouldn't want to make that deal.

We don’t agree often,
but we see this the same

Patch will turn 31 next Nov

5yrs is the top deal I’d wanna give him

Some team will likely go more than that

That’s another reason why I can’t see anyway in hell he gets 7 or 8 years though.

Sign and trade, give them Okposo. Either that, or rent him for the year, but it sounds like Botts wouldn't do that

Any reason to think they are still talking? This feels like a deal that would have been made by now.

Can't see them wanting Okposo or JB wanting a rental.

Montreal is actually one of the few teams with room (and plenty of it) for KO.

I would make a bet with him that Shazam out grosses Aquaman, but he won't pay up, so it's pointless.

A rental could be interesting if he acts as a stop gap until we see what we get out of Nylander and Goaloffson. If one of those 2 looked good at the trade deadline, we could move him for something and then bring one of them up.
It would all come down to what he would cost.
There's probably a select few teams he wants to sign with and a few of them probably cant afford him. MTL can take the best offer or trade him at the deadline if he's definitely not signing with them.

- sbroads24


Probably true...
but ya gotta think he’d at least check out the market

If we are offering 6yrs, 7mil per

Doesn’t hurt him at all to see if someone will give him a 7th year
Or if a Contender will give him 5 years
