“Luke Evangelista at the weekend, was in Nashville, flew back to the Toronto area, where he comes from. Do you know, that is a kind of step, right? It is a sign that I was in position to close a deal to go on the first day of the work when the training camp started. And it does not go too well in the negotiations, when a geeler, when geeler goes, when playing the market, when gaming.
And so you know, I keep thinking that the Evangelista One is the most unusual of all these, just because the relative amount between the two positions is quite small. You know, they are talking about a two -year contract for Luke Evangelista. You know, and the predators offer somewhere in the two -year reach, at $ 2 million. You know, he goes against three and a quarter.
NHL rumors: The Maple Leafs and Stolarz continue to work on an extension
You know, I, well, I collect that real money is, and most of us would like to be in that kind of negotiations. It is not a case in which, yes, there, the argumentation of six and seven-year-old deals, where the total value, you know, there could be $ 10 million between the parties about the, about those long-term deals. And it’s hard to solve that problem. I mean, it is generally fairly easy to solve these problems.
And then you have this player, you know, now flying back to Ontario. I mean, it’s a bit of a weird one. You know, Nashville, the team that has no cap problems. You know, they have had problems developing their own players there. And so he could of course count as a positive side of it. It’s just, you know, that’s more surprising.
Alex Daughter: (The Edmonton Oilers signed Vasily Podkolzin for an extension of three years with a cap hit of $ 2.95 million) This deal should help the case of Evangelista and bring him back to Nashville.
Alex Daughter: Although he was not eligible for salary arbitration, he will probably get around $ 3 million.
NHL rumors: Free agents who are still looking to sign up for this season
It sounds like the team is low (maybe around $ 2 million) and the Evangelista agent is high (maybe around $ 4, $ 4.5 million). Seems like a two -year -old deal for $ 3 million per, time to get it done.
