Surprised by all of the low yearly AAV’s being offered up so far, especially given the projected rise to the salary cap. I’m thinking around 7.5mill x 2 years, or possibly 6.5 mill x 3 seasons

Funny to see all the lowballs everyone was throwing around. You guys are out of your mind thinking he was gonna sign for 4-5 mill per. This will give us 3 extra mill, plus whatever the cap increase represents. With no ELC rookies in position to angle for a high end RFA bridge deal, since they are all pretty much creeping along in terms of development, we will have ample cap space to sign a serious goalie, if that’s what management deems the proper course. As for those predicting retirement.. was that tongue in cheek?

This is the site that went into a deep analysis about Kopitar having sleep apnea. They aren't the best but dammit do we love them.
 
I heart KOPI

Pay the man his money.

Just sucks knowing that it might be the last contact for him. Unless they win the Cup in the last year. Then its an unwritten rule that the captain cant retire so he has to come back for another year and keep winning Cups.
 
Very happy with this extension. Kopi represents everything good about the Kings. We always have a chance to win when he plays, no matter who else is on the ice. And I want him to finish his career here.
 
Well...I did not think they would sign the extension before the season started. My guess is the agent said that if Kopi has a season similar to last one, he'll demand more than 7?

A bit bummed, hoped for 2x6, but oh well.
 
Tying off the Kopi loose end gives Blake a chance to focus on whether to re-sign Roy, Arvidsson, Lizotte and Grundstrom. If more cap space is needed, Moore’s NTC ends after next season. Lastly Byfield and Kaliyev are both RFAs.

If someone were to give QB a big RFA offer sheet, Blake MIGHT be tempted to take the compensation, depending on how big the offer is.
 
In local media they claimed that as he will be a 35+ veteran for the entire duration of this contract, it doesn't count against the cap at all...that has got to be false information, right?

EDIT: Surely false, no idea where they got that idea from.

It’s the exact opposite. Multi-year contracts signed at 35+ mean his cap hit will remain in place for the entirety of that contract regardless if he plays or retires.
 
These terms make total sense. Even though his cap hit was $10 million, his salary for the last year was $7. And it seems like he’s got at least 2 years in him. To me it didn’t make sense that he’d take a huge discount like everyone else thought. He was still very productive last season. So maybe he wouldn’t get $10 million but it wasn’t going to be less than $6.

I should add that it’s not selfish and all for him not to take a huge discount. He deserves the salary that he’s going to get.

He only got paid $7 last year? Hell we could have a whip round and double that this year for poor old Anze!
I mean come on, get real Blakey!!!!

And I didn't think I'd have to say I was kidding either...

I thought the sheer absurdity of the comment alone would be enough to prove it a simple attempt at dumbass humor and, being the dumbass himself, I'm sorry Dr., but I can't tell from your reply whether you're miffed or not, so I will tell you here and now that there was no sarcasm intended in my comment, only dumbass mischief, which is why I added the exaggeratedly insolent address to Mr. Blake.

I have the utmost respect for you and the rest of the hockey cognoscenti and your/their hockey IQs in here. I read most of the insight and discussions with complete and utter awe at the knowledge and perception exhibited by guys and gals in here.
