mfitz804 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Everything kind of points to Columbus being used to push up the price. It’s a smart move by his agent if that’s the case, rather than having the whole family thing, where there’s only two teams in the race.

If that's the case then why is he thinking CBJ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 also i don't want to match that 12m x 7 offer for the Devils. That's a bit too much for Johnny 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very very different and literally what agents do So is he full of sh!t about being closer to his family in NJ or about not being about the money? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we are thinking it's a Neids situation who left money on the table to go play somewhere else when it's really a Kovy situation who used the Kings to drive up his price in the 2010 offseason.

Dude he's the top UFA in the last few years. Can't blame the agent and him for trying to get the most money / close to home. This makes total sense from a bargaining perspective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe "closer to home" most importantly means "the United States." That doesn't make him "full of sh!t". hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't the Devils paying Kuokkonen that much money to not play for them? cause that extra 1.5m per year may very well be what makes a guy like Mercer, Sharangovich, etc etc etc walk in a few years cause we just can't match another offer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it does rub me the wrong way when he turns down a similar offer to what Columbus had by Calgary and claims it is not about the money.

There aren't a whole lot of teams who have a need for a top-line wing that can afford to pay him $10+ for 7 years. Obviously every team is an exaggeration but the point still stands. Plenty more teams would be involved if they believed he didn't wanna go home and was open to others. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Johnny already left an 84million contract on the table in Calgary. If he wants to be as close as possible while getting the most money... it's in NJ. But the Islanders are bidding lower than NJ (according to reports) so it's not going to drive Fitz offer up... getting another team bidding higher will do that though.

pumpkin cutter Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Usually players take a lil discount to play close to home, not drive up the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
