@ProducerDrew_ I think you have it backwards…US team have the advantage. Canadian teams generate revenue in Canadian dollars (gate, concessions, merch) but have to pay player salaries in USD..
@LizYoungStrat It means the option to raise, cut or pause rates is all on the table. Takes the language of increase(s) out of the equations - essentially keeping all options on the table
@taj1944 What happens if the agent tells perspective teams what they’re looking for in an extension and the # is too high and they all say no thanks? Bye bye partners. Teams can take their chance at signing him as a UFA after the season knowing Van doesn’t have the $ to do so.
@JHamelin1@SadClubCommish He’s going to want $5-6m per yr. He’s a winger. Don’t disagree with the chemistry, but paying a winger that much $ has proven to be a mistake. Eg: Boeser.
