Yes! But when has a 15 goal scorer landed a $7 million contract?? - Snots33_77
there's more to that, if you compare numbers for his 5 on 5 play, his hockey IQ, consistency, etc.
he obviously isn't getting 7M, but why would he ask lower as a starting point, since the whole point of negotiating is getting down to a number both parties agree upon

habs will counter-offer with 3M lololol - Pat1993
yep, I'd be happily surprised if it ends up being below 6

He’s not even close to 7 and I understand his negotiating point but he couldn’t bury a (frank)ing goal if his life depended on it. He’s good without the puck and we have Lehkonen and 17 other idiots that can’t score. Get what you can for him and get some scoring. If we upgrade our D then we can afford to be more offensive. I love what he brings defensively but that’s all our team is and it’s still a failure. We need to score. With Price, If we score we win.

how much would you be willing to give him? - Pat1993
5.5 - 5.9 tops. I love the guy, I really do. But then you have to factor in where the team is trending and what he wants. I wouldn’t pay that for a 3C so I’d trade him tbh.

well there's a 1.1M difference there between his 7M and your offer... during negotiations they probably go by chunks of at least 200K, so asking for 7M isn't completely out of this world imo, even if he knows it won't be that number on his paycheque

I think you'll be disappointed.
ROR, another very good 2-way center, makes 7.5M. he had 12 goals.
