Dave, Craig brought up Leo Carlsson, and I suppose we could add Cutter Gauthier. What sort of money are we taking a look at? Will or not it’s? Will or not it’s scaled, Carlsson and the Gauthier for positioning and talent? Welcome.”

Dave Pagnotta: “It’s going to be a, loads for each of those guys, that’s of course. The best way that they’re playing, the best way that they’re each performing, they’re going to command a reasonably hefty deal, and with what’s happening now, I’ll preface this by saying they’ve had very, very loose discussions.
I don’t think the actual negotiation strategy of that definition has actually occurred yet, but by design. No concern, they’ll get to it. However it’s going to cost. The higher these guys perform, the more consistent they’re. It’s going to cost them a reasonably penny to get them locked in.
Now, in the event that they’re going long-term, and we’ve noticed lots of the younger guys nowadays, especially those coming out of their ELC, are going full term. You’re taking a look at some hefty numbers, and doubtless eight figures on an AAV for Carlsson, and Gauthier, not thus far behind.
I believe, again, going to what you said with respect to position and overall responsibility. I believe Carlsson goes to command definitely more plus right away. The numbers are higher. But you’re taking a look at a team that’s got lots of cap space starting next season. They’ve some, lots of wiggle room now, but a giant chunk of that $30, $40 million that they’ve got to play with next yr goes to each Gauthier and Carlsson when all is alleged and done.”
