Derlique Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 This is a thread devoted to UFA signings, rumors (credible, of course), etc. David Pagnotta @TheFourthPeriod FollowingFollowing @TheFourthPeriod MoreA number of teams in the East, including NJ, NYR and BOS, have expressed interest in James van Riemsdyk. Unclear when decision comes, but he has plenty of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derlique Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 I'd bet something like 6x6, but I can see him getting upwards to 7 million aav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At age 29, I would prefer not to give him the 7th year. But as we know, sometimes you must to get the deal done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather do something like 5 years x 7 million, but I don't know if he takes that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) He'll want the 6th year, if not a 7th. Whether he gets it, of course, I don't know. Edited June 28, 2018 by mfitz804 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) JVR seems like a bad contract waiting to happen...a guaranteed UFA overpayment (and I get that guys like JVR are almost guaranteed to get overpaid by someone). He's a UFA at the right time in that one of the teams that strikes out on JT will likely throw a good chunk of what would've been JT's money at JVR. I wouldn't want to go more than four years myself at maybe $6-6.5 million per, but he'll probably get 5+ and more $$$ somewhere else. As long as people realize that he's a 50-60 point guy who isn't going to magically become a 70+ point guy because he's getting a nice raise, whatever fan base sees its team land him shouldn't be too disappointed over the next 2-3 years. He's averaged about 30 G and 28 A per 82 GP over the past five seasons...great when you're making $5-6 million, not so much at $7 million plus (and down years become that much tougher to take).

Crisis Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Wouldn't a guy want to sign from 29-34 vs 29-35 as his subsequent contract would be considered a 35+ for the latter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 He'll want as many years as he can get. I doubt he takes a deal for 5 years. I'd be shocked beyond belief if he signs a 4 year deal, but i guess if he did, and he's 33, he could probably get another 5 year deal at the end. I'd be more inclined to think he would take less dollars at more years. Get someone to overpay when he's in the decline. That's what usually happens.

I'd be more inclined to think he would take less dollars at more years. Get someone to overpay when he's in the decline. That's what usually happens. I think Derlique is in the ballpark...6 years at $6.5 mil ($39 million) per probably gets it done. 5 years at $7 mil per (or maybe low $7s) might get it done too. If he was ever willing to sign for 4 at say $7-7.5 mil per, he'd be betting on himself that he could score one more nice deal for himself...maybe Cammalleri/Rolston money (4 or 5 years at $5 million per). At any rate, I think you gotta feel REALLY good about JVR to sign him to a deal worth $30-$40 million over 4-6 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 55 minutes ago, Derlique said: The 35+ rule only applies when they sign the contract, not when the contract runs through Yeah so I'm saying that scenario 1 is he signs for 6yrs through 35. Then his next one would have to be a 35+ contract that isn't aaaas favorable to the team he's signing with, so it's 1 or 2yrs.. something short. Scenario 2 is he signs 5yrs now through 34. Then his next one signs at 34 for a relatively longer term than a 35+, as it's easier for the team to get out of. I mean, I suppose it's just semantics and he'll take what he can get.

By the time that contract is "ugly" the cap will have gone up significantly. I can't explain this more clearly: we are fvcking loaded with cap space and completely devoid of a single "terrible" contract. Clowe's cap hit is gone. Savard's cap hit is gone (bet half of you forgot we were paying him). Greene's contract is off the books the summer of Hall. Cap space is not an issue with this team. Cap space will not be an issue for this team for a long time. Overpaying a guy like JVR for 1 extra year and a few extra million dollars does absolutely nothing to this team. That's the benefit of being so fvcking bad for so fvcking long; we're finally young. Young means cheap. We're about to enter that pivotal window of "young, cheap, and talented" and a guy like JVR puts us solidly into "contender" category. I pray to every god in heaven that we get JVR. I'm convinced. I'll have to learn how to spell "van Riemsdyk" without googling it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBallofHate Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I just listened to the All Access podcast where they spoke with Ray Shero after the season ended... I'm not convinced he's going to be hitting the UFA market hard. And I'm not getting my hopes up on JVR (not that I want a NYR fan, drafted by Philly, 2 layers of yuck). Expect the unexpected with Ray... probably a trade more so than hitting the UFA market? I'm sure no matter what people will be upset... some were frothing mad last summer on July 2 (pre-MoJo).

And after reading some more in the thread.. you've made me feel a little better about the potential deal. We do have an absurd amount of cap space.

Daniel Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I’m a fan of not forever sitting on cap space and I like guys that can score goals, but something I don’t like about JVR. Guess it has something to do with when he can’t score 25-30 goals anymore, you’ll have a problem on your hands. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can still be a pain in the ass in front of the net, if we can’t keep Maroon (fvcking St Louis) might not be a bad pull. I may be in the minority but I want zero part of Perron. Especially with him coming off a career year. I honestly don’t trust him to keep playing the way he did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
