In this exclusive offer and help the channel out and we're gonna talk about Macklin celebrity as over the last little while
the contract negotiations
Have been crazy like the rumors that have just been floating about him
Maybe taking a max deal at like 20 plus million dollars or taking a hometown discount
Obviously last week
We did do report talking about his
Thoughts on it saying he wants to put the team in the best position to win
Kind of seeming that he is going to take a hometown discount and now that is kind of put the market
You know has really made these outlets
Adjust their projections to really hammer in on a range and the hockey news has done that they had a great article of today
Talking about the Macklin celebrating extension what range he will be at let's bring it up and talk about it for you guys
He says given that many believe he could be the first player out for 20 million
Realistically that puts a celebrity extension somewhere between 17 and the 19 million dollar reigns arranged
They say if he's really out to send a message
She'll sign for 17 5 or shy of 18 million so that the narrative will be Wow
He took less than Carlson sounds a is lucky that celebrity has the team in mind, which he did mention
We did mention in that last week's report
He said which Carlson didn't does that mean we see a 14 million a year number not even close and I agree with this
article a
hundred percent to a T
I think
Macklin celebrating is definitely going to I'd go out there and take less than Leo Carlson and just say hey
I did it and you know, we don't need to talk about this 20 million dollar number
Maybe he takes a bridge deal for four years then puts himself back
In you know as an RFA in four years time where he did then he does sign that big money deal I
Don't think that's a high possibility
I think the most likely scenario is that he does get his seven or eight years
Whatever the term will be I believe it is the max of seven next year
So if he gets that seven years, you know, seventeen and a half or maybe even take 17 950 a year
It's 17, you know million nine hundred fifty thousand a year
I I think he will just do this just to kind of you know
Obviously our rivals in the Anaheim Ducks and have that have the team in mind to say hey
I want to win here and me taking the max that is possible is not going to allow my team to do so and I
Really do think that the the Philadelphia Flyers and the Anaheim Ducks with that offer sheet situation
Really did screw the market big time
Even Capri soft last year screwed the market big time by taking the 17 million dollar deal
But we just seen bedard, you know sign come in. I believe was 15 million. So, you know, but
Celebrity is obviously tears above bedard in my mind
So it only makes sense for her to bump him up a couple million dollars and take that
17.5 or 17 point nine five a million dollar a year deal and you know, it is what it is
You know, we can deal with that. I mean looking, you know at the cap situation next year
We are going in to the the offseason right now at 52 million dollars in available cap space
so if you take that 17 million dollars a year from celebrity off this cap hit then that will be
Just over 30 million dollars in cap space left for signing guys like Will Smith
What you're going to talk about in just a bit and ask her off and all these guys that are going to have
To be paid in the years down the line so him taking a team-friendly deal
Which yeah 17 million dollars is a lot and probably doesn't seem like it
But in today's market is very team-friendly from where a player who could probably go out and get 20 million dollars
You know in the open market, which obviously you can't where he's an RFA, but you know what?
I mean, and it's very interesting, you know, obviously
Macrocelebrity breaking the franchise record having an unbelievable year Olympic medalist
It's just an unbelievable player an unbelievable kid the future captain of our team and a leader of our franchise
so for him going out and setting the press the precedent of
You know saying hey, I'm taking a deal. That's gonna be friendly for the team
It's going to speak to the guys in the locker room to kind of say hey, you know
Our star guy is doing this for us
We need to start doing things for him and it's just going to trickle down all the way through
This roster in terms of negotiations in terms of the play on the ice
And you know that would be just such a huge captain move to do by going out and taking this
Cut which I mean he basically alluded to in that interview last week and now the the hockey news with this great
Projection at around 17 million for macrocelebrity and when you take a look at some comparable contracts here
You know obviously Crosby taking that 8.7 million dollar deal. I was team-friendly at the time
you know adjusted to today's market, you know was 15.3 percent the cat back then and then obviously a
McKinnon took that deal was just a hundred thousand dollars over over the top
Signed player at that point and then McDavid taking that huge cut last year at twelve point five million dollars
You know
You just see all these stars across the league
Taking these cuts in pay to try to win Stanley Cups and while we see worked out for
McKinnon and worked out for Crosby and hasn't worked out for McDavid yet
But you know
it just seems like that is the
You know the way to go if you are a young star on this league if you want to win if you're not in it
For the money to help your team out a little bit when it comes to the cap space and I do want to talk about
Will Smith because he's another big one that's gonna come up in the same year as celebrating right now
Projections have him at a six-year deal at nine point six to five million and obviously in contract years players
Just tend to play better. So I think celebrating is gonna be playing better this year
I think Will Smith's gonna be playing better this year
Hopefully we get a full healthy season out of him this year
So we can really see I him flourish on this top line with celebrating insurance off
I think this is a fair number for Will Smith
I think having him just under that ten million dollar number is perfect and locking him up for six
Maybe even seven years you see, you know, we'll just be just over that and like a nine point nine number
I mean, I like that for Will Smith. I think he's definitely worth it
He's a player who's gonna grow a lot in these young years and become a great player
Especially playing with the best player in the league in Macklin Celebrity
I definitely think
Celebrity is gonna have a crazy season next year
And I definitely think he's gonna make a run at the hurt in my opinion
I mean he was at it this year didn't quite, you know reach that threshold
But now with more weapons around him is definitely gonna be able to do that
And now Will Smith is obviously, you know has that experience now
He was playing great last year and being on that top line
But celebrating is really going to help his development and obviously his point scoring as well
So I like that contract number for Will Smith. I like the contract number for Macklin celebrating
It really only makes sense to why you know, they would make these deals obviously like we just bring the cap back
Oh, but I just want to talk about that because you know, like I said, it's 52 million dollars
So if you sign celebrating at that 17 million dollars, you're gonna be just over 30 million dollars in available cap space
Then you sign Will Smith for saying let's say 9.5
You're down in the mid 20s now even high 20 range
For when you're with available cap and you still have guys like Askrof who probably isn't going to be that costly
Maybe a 5 million dollar number depending on how he plays this season
So, you know, you still have a lot of room to work with in this scenario
So I wouldn't be worried if I'm you know, if I'm you guys about our cap situation next year
It's all gonna work itself out
Macklin celebrating is really gonna help this team out and not just on the ice but off the ice with his with his contract
Negotiations as well. So I want to hear your guys thoughts down below in the comment section
