Very easily in fact. Just don’t sign him

For those who didn't know, CF also lists all the RFAs that did not get QOs.

Here's the list: https://www.capfriendly.com/browse/free-agents/2023/caphit/all/all/ufa-no-qualifying-offer?stats-season=2022

Since all teams hasn't yet released their lists it's not full yet though.

8 year extension for val? jesus

If the cap hit is fair it could be a steal, although a playstyle like his could end up wearing him out too early.

well they only need him to be good for 5 years or so. love the player so i just hope the number is low.

Man my list getting to long

i love that they used a 'fly together' hashtag on a list of players they didn't qualify.

$6,125M x 8

Nichushkin is 8x$6.125M on his extension in COL

yeesh

oh wow Sakic definitely didn't get a discount.

$6.125m x 8 for val. good for him.

the sakic simp in my discord already excused him responsibly for the contract because he got promoted today lmao

Wow. What one great contract season can do for your career

Costs me 2 seconds of my life every time someone quotes Allen as being a monster commodity.

Like Samsonov just became a UFA. Habs fans better be happy with getting as much as a popcorn fart in return for Jake aLLen at this point.

dont sleep on val. he was on the top line in the playoffs and had great chemistry with mackinnon.

I think this was market value , Nichushkin will probably provide excess value for the the next 3-4 years but won't be worth it after that.

No yeah he’s a great player, the Avs definitely had to keep him they fit his play style perfectly

Damn he even got the Signing bonus structure in the last 2 years of the contract lol - good for him . Colorado had to do it though

a bit less than market value imo. anderson and hyman are at $5.5m. gallagher and kreider are at $6.5m. val is better than everyone but kreider.

Sigh.

At this rate the only thing going for Allen is the fact he's gonna be much cheaper money wise compared to these UFA guys. Like half retained he's more than twice cheaper than Georgiev, and he cost couple of thirds.

Ofc to get the best possible deal for Allen MTL should wait for the amount of options go to the minimum, at which point he actually becomes a commodity of some kind.

What kind of player is dahlen, does he have good hands and speed?

Also Dylan strome, what is he likes

habs should just hold on to allen until the deadline.

@yikes knows the best answer to the first question.

Strome is an able playmaker but ideally needs solid guys to play with to actually produce. He's not able to carry a line himself.

I’m trying to sign dahlen. And what would be a great young line to pair with mcmichael and Jesse Pulij. Also what’s theprice of that guy now
