Fuck it I’d do 10×5 if he wants that much. 2 mill overpay but you get him from 27-32 so basically his entire prime with none of the bad years locked up. Tell him to take a sweetheart deal or bounce at age 33.

I get negotiations, but someone show him a list of what 10 million dollar players look like and have him look us back in the eye and say “I’m one of those players”

Posturing. The Flyers want to pay him $7.5-$8m, TK wants >$8.5m. This to me makes it sound like they’re set on giving him a long term deal. I doubt he gets traded unless someone offers a king’s ransom. Possible, but unlikely for a winger.
Edit: this “report” is from 2 dudes in Wildwood. I’ll wait until I hear from legit sources…

Time for that trade…. I love him but not for 10 mil.
TheGreatDudebino
Are we considering the source here?

Do these guys have any news credibility?

I get posturing happens in just about every contract talk, but man, 10AAV is *way* too high for a winger who has never hit 70 points and is a poor defensive player. I’ve long been in the “wait and see” camp with TK, but if this report is true I have a hard time imagining this ends with him signing a contract that makes any sense whatsoever for this team long term

God I hope TK’s ask continues to be unreasonable enough that Danny Briere remembers it makes way more sense to trade him regardless of what the cap hit would be.

People here know the cap is projected to go over $90 million after next season right? 10 million AAV will be the new going rate for 1st line caliber players, and Konecny is one.

I love TK but we have too many people on the right side. With the coming addition of the Russian he is an asset we can use to shore up the center position.

Chris Maher, seriously? He’s not a journalist he’s just a fan boy.

Like I get it you’re our best player but still can’t crack a point per game. I can’t justify that money for that level of production. 7mill is fair.

This has to be fake news. Please be. $10MM for TK lol

Tk play RW, why would you lock up 8-9 mill a year for 8 years when their best prospect plays the same position.
The team needs a top center.
A sign and trade is the best move IMO, talk to other teams what they’d be comfortable paying and then move him.
Worst cast sell as a rental retaining 50%.
I think of the Jeff Carter trade as a comparable.
Maybe a team in the 4- 10 range. could be partners centering around their 1sts this year and TK.
He’s my favorite player on the team, but he’s also one of our only fully developed players that’s worth anything.

Offer him 7 settle on 8
