The Yak deserves more than 2x$1.35M
David. You know Yak is worth more than that. Offer 2×2 and lock this down.
Last contract negotiation he supposedly almost went to the KHL instead of re-signing, whether that was actually going to happen or just his agent playing hardball in the media, not sure. But gives you an idea of how things have gone with his agent and GMDP in the past.
To be fair, halfway is about right there. 1.8-2m for a 1 year bridger. If arbitration’s started it will be whatever it will be now I guess. Kinda surprised they couldn’t agree, unless 2.4 is genuinely what Yakov had as his floor cos he ain’t getting that.
$2.4 is actually fair for Trenin, so any outcome here is going to be good.
Give him a 2 year deal and I’ll buy a stadium series jersey.
Deal?
Pay the man!
2×2 is right. Yakov shows up every game, every shift. The playoffs showed that.
Give him a jarnkrok contract
Anyone else think we should skip the bridge and go for the Jarnkrok special? Would it be crazy to sign him to a 4+ year deal? More term= less money and if he does well on his bridge we might not be able to keep him. Trenin is a keeper IMO and a 1 year deal means we have to resign him next year with all the other guys due (Jeannot, Fabbro, Carrier, Ingram, Glass, Novak)
2 yr 1.85 Prediction
Yak saw Luke Kunin getting paid $2.3m to be terrible and thought he deserved more than that.
I think $1.8m is a good middle ground, but I won’t be upset with $2m.
Don’t be low ballin Trenin now!
Poile has a history of offering younger players more money to sign for longer term.
When Craig Smith was an RFA, Poile’s QO was $3M x 1 and then signed him to $4.25 x 5 immediately after the arbitration hearing (Smith had asked for $4.75M x 1)
He gave Wilson $3.93 x 4 after qualifying him at $3M, Arvidsson $4.25 x 7 after qualifying him at $2.75M, Jarnkrok $2M x 6 after qualifying him at just $770K, etc.
The fact the Trenin only asked for $2.4M is a great sign considered he had 17 regular season goals and was arguably our best player in the playoffs. Hopefully Poile locks him up for the foreseeable future.
Damn he is worth 2×2 minimum
4x$2.75 and you bought the best years of his career.
I really don’t want this to go to a hearing. I don’t think anything good can happen from putting a player into a room and having his general manager list off all the reasons why that player doesn’t deserve to get the money he thinks he should.
What about a contract that slightly escalates? But also similar to Sissons? 4 years starting at 1.75 million and goes up 250k each year. Covers both sides and as the cap expands each year, so does his bottom line.
Trenin was our second best forward against the Avs after Duchene. Guy showed up every single game.
