I “think” ..if they’re comparing the Peterka contract to Knies that the true comps would be 6 x $7M. RFA years worth less than UFA years and Peterka was selling 3 RFA and 2 UFA years. Knies is selling 4 RFA years plus additional UFA years. I’d say Leafs end up doing a 3 yr deal or 6+. 6 or 7 would make sense for both b/c Knies would be 28 or 29 for his next big ticket. Or maybe he takes an 8 yr deal while it’s still available and he’d still be 29/30 when he’s able to negotiate the next one.
6x7M or 7×7.5M or 8×8 ish
But, leafiness and taxes probably end up changing the logic.
There is no world where knies should get more than Peterka on a 5 year deal, if so than Tre needs to be removed.
Knies had one 50+ pt season with 29 goals
Peterka has had two, along with two seasons of 27 and 28 goals WITHOUT playing with Matthews.
Knies should get 5 x 7m max.oh I agree
But also, at the time Marner shouldnt have gotten 10.9 when all the comps were under 10

anyone see thisFrank Seravalli: If it’s an 8 year deal for Matthew Knies, it’s going to be north of 10; it’s probably going to end up being a 5 year deal – DFO Rundown
ok then.
peterka just got 5 x 7.7 ..so I guess around that thenThere is no world where knies should get more than Peterka on a 5 year deal, if so than Tre needs to be removed.

He signed 8 x 7.14 before the season (early extension). Peterka, a year older then both so there’s one less year of control, slightly better resume because of the extra year, and he gets 7.7 x 5 from Zona’ too.
Leafs need to prioritize signing guys earlier rather than waiting for them to build their resumes and for the Cap to go up.

Jamie Benn re-ups with Dallas1 M for 1 year with lots of performance bonuses.
That’s a great deal for Dallas, he clearly wants to stay there and is taking less than he could elsewhere.
JT take note and follow suit!
That it is.
Had 49pts last year, so not too bad at all.Finally figured out how to get account deleted at HB!
I have been banned now – and read the message that said if I get caught logging in under different user an or something like that, so an alt – I risk permanent account deletion.
So, if I can figure out how to create an alt I can announce that I am in the site under an alt and hope they delete account as result.
Not at all computer/tech literate – the absolute worst at it – so if anyone knows how to the alt thing please message on HB cause you can still get PMs when banned from posting – or I suppose just tell me here. Don’t want to take up (anymore) space with this issue so figured HB.

Sounds like the new CBA is going to reduce the percentage of a contract that a signing bonus can be. Is this not going to make it EVEN HARDER for Canadian teams to attract US talent?!? Not only are they not addressing the tax advantages the US has over Canada, they’re making it damn near impossible to attract US players north of the border.
