NHL Rumor: Mason McTavish – Anaheim Ducks and Montreal Canadains
So in the past we have seen Montreal Canadians become aggressive in this regard. Signed Juraj Slafkovsky on July 1. Shortly after last summer, I think it was a week or two to sign Kaiden Guhle. So the two went on a long run immediately, avoiding the possibility of offering a quote this summer. This is normal, and there were some things that made it understandable at the time.
However, the market has changed today, and a lot has changed. So we will enter it. First of all, salary cap is rising, right? And, it didn’t add one to two to three million, an increase of $9 million per year. What we are talking about is the 9% salary cap (upper). a lot of.
And if you’re an NHL player right now, unless you’re like Noah Dodson, or a free agent like Mitch Marner, you know, eight years is a risky adventure because you’ve given up on something in your potential income, right? Many people will think, ‘Wow, it’s a millionaire. Who cares, right? But first, this kind of hockey has a short window of opportunity and involves a lot of risks.
So yes, there are elements that give them security. But, you know, Sean, we’ve talked about that before, if you’re the defensive player who makes $8 million now, that’s once the first-tier defender money five years ago. Now, when we see Ivan Provorov’s 8.5 (million) signature this summer, the second pair of defenders’ money (like the high-end second pair of defense). In three years, this will actually be the second pair of defenders’ money, right? The contracts we see with Gavrikov, Provorov, are we see, regular second-hand defender money, right?
So when you want to build your own roster and you are the agent on the other end and the agent is like, “Okay, maybe we don’t have to work too hard, too fast.” That’s exactly what Lane Hudson is like.
Lane Hutson will see his time on the Olympic stage for Team USA
Therefore, his camp, obviously, was constantly talking to Canadians. I think this is something we need to be clear about. They are talking. Things are going well. They are exchanging ideas. There are many situations on the table. They are looking for other negotiations to work before locking in ideas. Because there is one thing to set a trend, and another thing to follow the trend, a lot of people are waiting for the exact situation, and when it comes to RFA we will step in in a later episode. But when it comes to Hutson’s situation, there is nothing to worry about from my speech. ”
