Give him 6 years at 6 mil and be done with it. Jack won't have it any either way.

That's GM Jack to you.

same amount of points, reinhart has 9 more goals


splitting pubic hairs IMO

I didnt know they had the same amount of points. Seamed like Larkin burst onto the nhl scene.

Similar points
Similar pay?
Center generally gets more $ though????

Still seeing 2 years 9.75

I think if larkin had same amount of goals, I would agree


skunk has 15 percent more goals, which IMO makes it a wash

I believe we can sign Sam for 5 at $27.5M. and I think that will be a value contract before it's done

I don't think Botts feels that Sam is an 8 year guy. 8 year guys are your franchise cornerstones. And I don't think you're giving a guy 8 years based on Bott's comments from last summer saying that he wanted to wait out the year. 8 year guys are John Tavares free agents or Auston McEichels.

That’s a really good contract for Larkin

I think it’s a little telling that they waited to deal O’Reilly before they added a scoring winger.

Again, I could be wrong but I’m not 100% sure we have Skinner right now if they weren’t able to find a deal for O’Reilly. It’s really easy to say if we kept O’Reilly, we’d be better.

Truth is we have no idea how Thompson will turn out, if Berglund has a nice year, Sobotka can be a decent 4th liner, or we even add other peices.

Well yeah, bc it makes sense

And just bc ROR was traded before we got Skinner doesn’t mean they had any correlation
Moving ROR when we did made sense
Carolina would’ve liked to move Skinner then too, but we waited for the price to drop
That just seemed to be the natural progression

You’re just trying way to hard here without anything to really back it up

Would we 100% have traded for Skinner if we kept O’Reilly?
I can’t say that

But we still needed a scoring winger
So it’s (at the very least) logical to assume Botts would’ve been trying to make the deal

Since Skinner went so cheap,
I find it very hard to believe Botts wouldn’t have said yes to that deal

It just makes sense

Market for Sam has been set. Give or take a +/- $1 million.

ahhhhh...no. I would rather have Larkin than Reinhart.

way too much money for someone who shows up for half a year.

This was Larkin’s first season of over 45 points. Sam has done it all 3 years. However he topped off at 50 last season whereas Larkin hit 63. Larkin played big minutes this past season as well. I would put both players in a similar tier talent wise. Reinhart will get anywhere between $5.75M-$6.25M

Seeing sam get less

5.17- 5.25 for 5 or 6 years

Basically tom wilson $.

Pretty much everyone would rather have Larkin, except homie and Sam's parents

Same term and $

Count me too. Oh, and my cats, they also would prefer Reinhart over Larkin.

So far, I count 6 for Reinhart and only you for Larkin. Small sample size, but we can safely assume you're wrong which will suffice for me. Moving on.

what were the red wings thinking, letting larkin walk in 5 years

Text In: "Hi, this is Tyler R's mom. I have noticed that the lawn at his apartment house hasn't been mowed in weeks. Wondering why it isn't mowed every week. Looks really bad. Thanks."

Text Out: "Hi Kim. We decided last year not to cut the grass every week becuase its the best way to hide the beer cans, empty liquor bottles, and other garbage that Tyler and his roommates leave strewn around the property. Please let us know when all that poop is picked up so we can cut without worrying about damaging the mowing blade. Thanks."
