Honestly Tavares would be a fool to sign a one year deal

Hawks trade hossa's contract and AA 2022 1st to the islanders because Tavaras is not going sign back with them . so islanders will be looking for centers they have the money to cover it . then sign jvr to a big contract and dehann. Its an hypothetically but would the hawks be looking to get back.

Anyone have an idea what 80 million bucks of insurance would be for 1 yr? Leafs pay him 15 mil and 80 million of insurance for 1 yr.

Seems to me with the cap going up a good chunk this year, our recent contracts will start looking better and better. Seabs at $7m don't look as bad with Doughty at $11m. AA at $4.5 (?) looks like a bargain against some of the reported centers that are looking at $5.5m. I think that was always the plan starting w Toews/Kane at $10.5, but the flattish cap for last few years has slowed the contract growth around the league

If the league and teams are staffed with good business people - they won’t assume that this year’s almost $5MM cap increase will be the future norm.

But - the reason there is a cap at all is because the owners can’t control themselves and hand out contracts they can’t afford - so who am I kidding.

I think the smart people will just know they can't predict the short term, but league revenue has been growing approximately 7% on average over the last dozen years or so. I'd think that is a good baseline to plan around or be conservative and assume maybe 4-5%.

Coyotes aggressively in the mix for free agent left wing James van Riemsdyk and could get decision as early as tonight. Arizona competing with a couple other teams, including the Buffalo Sabres. Would be a HUGE get for the Coyotes if they can pull this off. Likely a 5-year deal.

Tavares has to accept an NYI offer tonight if he wants an 8 year deal correct? in 95 minutes he will be an UFA officially.

SO whats everyone up to ?

Safe predictions: Blackhawks grab a d man, de Haan or Ian Cole ?

Maybe a small boot to the forwards with Grabner ?

If a trade is made we think Faulk ? Patches ? with AA going the other way?

Doughty will not be where Seabrook is now at his age.
Hard to compare the 2 at this point. I think doughty will be fine at 34 (end of the contract)

All indications are that James van Riemsdyk is going back to the Philadelphia #Flyers on a deal to be announced Sunday. #TSN

May be a little better off that Seabrook but the last 4 years of that deal are going to be rough

Roumeliotis is spinning losing JVR into now they’ll get a Dman - Cole in particular.

Ian Cole is a perfect player for #Blackhawks. Stay-at-home defenseman Joel Quenneville can rely on but can contribute on offense as well.

EDIT:

Guessing three/four years with an AAV of $3.5-4 million range. And that's doable.
