Paying Gigensons $2.2m "Covid pricing", should translate to $8.0 for Sam

But Boss is good about taking it his way unless you think he’s being called a Karen lol

Playing devils advocate: Would think if Hall was talking with Buffalo, something would have leaked out from his agent to drive up his price for contending teams?? Only teams really linked to him on TSN are Nashville and Florida.

Are you concerned about the slow signings , and covid intangibles? Like maybe no gate revenue for a while?

I think those #'s looked good last season.
I'm thinking a 20% covid discount.
Sam = 5.6
Ullmark = 2.2
Olo = 2.8

Maybe shorter terms to make up for less years?

All 3 are kinda in bad contract spots as rfas too
Although arbitration is possible?

You’re thinking almost exactly what I’m thinking. I think oloffson gets a little more though

I’m noticing these contracts are like a million or more lower in the first year than the next year.

Owners/GMs are being smart that way in actual cash considering they won’t know what the attendance policies in each state will look like in 3-4 months.

This is one of the reasons why I've never done fantasy sports. Real actual sports (especially Buffalo sports) are aggravating enough. I don't need the added stress.

Do you guys enjoy fantasy sports ? Or do they cause you stress ? Do you wish you could just walk away from them ? Or do you love them and vow to participate in them forever ?

For the same price of 2.2 million. X 3 years ?

I appreciate your opinion. Seems fair .

Patriots was a player who was in the building, that’s why they made a decision already.

The Titans was a coach who hasn’t been in the building for 12 days. If he got it from the initial outbreak they’ll shut it down. They’re doing the contact tracing now.

I really haven’t had much stress doing them and I do 4 football leagues and one hockey league.

Hockey is a little more involved with rosters because of when teams play. Football is easy until this year anyway.

I did baseball one year and never again lol

Detroit and Buffalo have been talking with @GoldenKnights about a Fleury trade, both teams want a first round pick and prospect attached to the deal. Yzerman has demanded Cody Glass.

Interesting.

Solid post

I'm pretty sure NY teams are gonna need to be more careful than Florida or Texas.

The pegulas have to be worried x 2 teams

According to the flight tracker website. The departure time has updated with an expected departure now. So they’re leaving.

As they should demand the world. Especially if there’s no salary retained.

You got there in the bolded.
Higher-end players won't get squeezed...like him or not, Sam is a relatively high-end player.
You have seen me post numerous times about moving Sam...not because he sucks, but because he is a considerable trade chip...so I don't believe he is untouchable.

Sam signed a short-term, prove it deal 2 years ago..and he proved to be a 1RW.
Arbitrators are forbidden to consider the economic conditions of the club or league, and I believe they also ignore current year UFA signings (can't remember where I read that as it was 14 months ago)...so your Covid Pricing logic goes out the window.

Do you think Sam, after being screwed out of say $3-$4m in the past prove it contract is actually going to be Club-friendly? If so, why did he file for arbitration?...as he could have just continued on with club-friendly negotiations.
