InKennyWeTrust 126 Report post Posted October 31, 2011 Hope it's under $40M, but I wouldn't be upset with a 6M hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted October 31, 2011 Hope it's under $40M, but I wouldn't be upset with a 6M hit. I would, but I guess you can't say he doesn't deserve it given the salary of other players around the league. I'm guessing around 5.25m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted October 31, 2011 If Kenny locked him up for anything between $5-$6, I'll be ecstatic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingfan1991 221 Report post Posted October 31, 2011 ya let's see what he got .. 7 years bit much, not liking these deals this late in his career. 5 years would have been enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dats13owns 157 Report post Posted October 31, 2011 This will also give us a good idea on how they're looking with their cap space going forward as well. Glad to see Kronner rocking the winged wheel for 7 more years! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P. Marlowe 748 Report post Posted October 31, 2011 Awesome. It'll be interesting too see how much it is. He's capable of unbeliavable things but still he's scored over 40 points just once in his career. This contract starts when Kronwall is 31 years old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted October 31, 2011 Glad to have him locked up. 5-6 mil seems reasonable. Especially since when Lids retired he's going to be the number one guy. He's a great defenseman, but I do worry about these long-term contracts. But I imagine it drops off pretty steeply toward the tail end so it'll work out. He's got another 4 or 5 years in his prime, really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mmamolo 287 Report post Posted October 31, 2011 He is only 30 years old (turning 31 in January). His new contract will begin next fall as he is 31 turning 32. So the contract will end in the year that he starts at 37 and ends at 38. Seven years is long but it's not exactly the same thing as these contacts that take players to 40+ years old Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mmamolo 287 Report post Posted October 31, 2011 4.75/year being reported. f*** ya. I'm stunned. That is just crazy seeing as the contract only takes him to 38 years old. He must be leaving some money on the table and setting an example for everyone else to follow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted October 31, 2011 He'd get $6m+ easy on the free market. If the $4.75m cap hit is true, then this is a great signing in my book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
