We need an AGM to handle the majority of contracts. Ek and Boldy were great, but aside from that they all feel a bit heavy
I don’t think he negotiates at all. He targets players that display qualities he likes and makes the deal. He tends to like qualities that are typically associated with identity guys who you need as a supporting cast to win, but can’t be remotely a bulk of you contract costs or term. Especially when movement clauses are handed out like candy.
Ehhh, I don’t know that I necessarily put the negotiating piece on Guerin specifically. I’m guessing that happens below him. But ultimately, he is the one signing off on these deals and sending them to CL. To your point, I’d like to know who is their chief negotiator right now. Whoever they are, they’ve gotten dunked on the last year and change.
Do people think guerin and the FO just randomly throw a number at free agents without knowing what other teams are offering?
So you’re probably going to like the Laine trade as his contract is already signed
Idk man i think we’re doing a good job here. Hot take i know
I hate that this got pinned tbh
I really hope the Faber extension is 8x$9m, anything above Kaprizov/Makar’s current AAV would worry me
