NHL Rumor: Los Angeles Kings, Az Copital and Adrian Kemp
Bill Pidto: “Meantime, because we’re also past July 1 guys, those who are eligible for free agency next year can sign an extension now, and this is an elite list. Look at all these key players: (Connor) McDavid, (Artemi) Panarin, (Jack) Eichel, (Sergei) Bobrovsky, (Alex Ovechkin) Ovi, (Kirill) Kaprizov, (Cale) Makar, (Kyle) Connor, (Adrian) Kempe – All eligible eligibility for extension.
Speaking of Stage 4, Kemp said the Kings and Kempe’s camp has not yet entered meat, potatoes and negotiations, but Kempe is believed to be looking for about $10 million per season in his next contract. Mike, he has made about $5.5 million in the past year. He has 35 goals and 38 assists, 10 million. What do you think? ”
Rupp makes $10 million in AAV
Mike Rupp: “That’s tough. I mean, players always have to do that, and that’s what he asks. That doesn’t mean he’ll get it. If that’s true. I mean, that’s a big thing. It’s going up and it’s expected to go up further.
So now that there is money, there will be more money in the market. So we won’t continue now. It is moving forward. Maybe the player training camp thinks it’s a projection of such a player. He is a player. However, this is a little rich for me.
NHL Rumors: Jack Eichel and Kirill Kaprizov
USD from Vilardi to Kempe
Stu Grimson: A little rich, especially when you look at (Gabriel) Vilardi deals. I mean, I would say the two players are quite similar. Production doesn’t look that different. So you can make this argument, especially if you are a club, it’s a straightforward argument that Vilardi’s contract is a pretty good choice for someone like Kempe, who is in the category as well.
So it would be fun to see the way this person sways. But if Kempe does get close to that number, then that $10 million requirement, then he’s more than he did from Vilardi’s contract, for example, I think that would be because he has some, which you might call internal leverage. I mean, the king can’t let Kemp run through their fingers. This may bring you closer to Kempe’s numbers than Vilardi’s numbers. ”
Rupp: “To be clear, he’s an important thing for this team. He’s probably the most important striker. They’ll get him to sign. I’m just going to be the point if that $10 million is the point, but, yeah, maybe a little comfortable.”
