“Luke evangelista flew back to the Toronto area in Nashville over the weekend.
So, you know, I continue to think that evangelicals are the most unusual of all of these, just because the relative amounts between the two positions are small. You know, they’re talking about a two-year contract with Luke Evangelista. You know, Predator offers $2 million in a two-year range. You know, he fights back at one third and one quarter.
NHL Rumor: Maple Leaf and Strales continue to work on expansion
You know, I, the real money I have collected, most of us want to participate in this kind of negotiation. Yes, in those six and seven years and eight years deals, in these long-term deals, the total value between the sides could be $10 million. And it’s difficult to solve this problem. I mean, solving these problems is usually easy.
Then, you know, you have this player now, and you’re flying back to Ontario now. I mean, this is a little weird. You know, Nashville, the team without any cap issues. You know, they’re having trouble developing their players there. So it’s clear that he can count as a positive side. Just, you know, it’s even more surprising.
Alex Daugherty: (Edmonton Oilers signed Vasily Podcorzin to a three-year extension and received $2.95 million in blocking percentage) The deal should help Ivan Gilista’s case and bring him back to Nashville.
Alex Daugherty: Although he is not eligible for salary arbitration, if he is a salary, he may get about $3 million.
NHL Rumor: Free agents still hope to sign this season
It sounds like the team is low (maybe about $2 million), while Evangelista’s agent is high (maybe $4.5 million is about $4.5 million). It seems like a two-year deal with $3 million per person, and it’s time to finish it.
