Yes, but I'd try and sell them on Bozak first
- 1979AD



Bozak is an easy sell..

Bozak is good at faceoffs and really good at penalty shots... Plus he has killer hair and is extremely loyal...

Is Kessel worth more today than when the Leafs traded for him in 08?

Not precisely a #2 pick + #8 pick plus whatever the 2nd rounder was... but do you see Kessel as being more valuable in 15 than in 08? This is at tough one for me to determine...

that makes no sense. Why would someone cheer for the Habs if they weren't french?

Do you hate Anglo-Canada?

so English people can't support the habs?

Burke overpaid in 2008. Plus, at this point, I think everyone knows what type of player Kessel is.. In 2008, he was an unknown commodity.

that'd cost us 4 1sts.

For offer sheet purposes, the overall salary(56M) is divided by a maximum of 5 years.

So it'd be like offering him 10M/year.


also you can only re-sign players to 8 year deals, FAs are capped at 7

- Schenn-Sational!

Yeah, but keep in mind two things:

1) These guys are RFAs, not UFAs. The trend in recent years is for teams to screw them with their "bridge deals." So nobody is going to offer them more than a 5 year deal, and no RFA wants to sign more than a 5 year deal. They want to sign a deal that takes them to UFA land.

2) If you offer a guy a deal and he signs it, the other team can't offer a different deal. They have a right to match, but that's it.

I'm predicting at least two RFA offers this summer (league-wide).

And Burke thought he was giving up about a #20 overall, about a #50 overall, and about a #20 overall the next year.

Which was franking stupid, I know. Don't shoot the messenger.

If it ended up being a #15 + a #18 + a 2nd rounder would you consider that an over payment?

I think you're right though about the unknown vs known commodity.
