ngl i think our front office wouldnt let bedard get to that point either, we need a deal done ASAP before things escalate like this man, gotta hope theyre as confident in our bargaining power as @nuggetshawk is

tbh i think you might be right tj_morris lol, bedard's been on a whole different level since he came up, everyone wants him man. and honestly @nuggetshawk must've missed the memo that our budget is still a crapshoot after this offseason imo.

I think we're still playing catchup on the cap and they don't wanna get burned again is a big reason why I'd expect them to be cautious with Bedard's extension talks, maybe even looking at term as a means of keeping him under a harder salary cap threshold rather than maxing out the AAV.

yeah that makes sense danM88, dont wanna get burned again like last year with kubalik and still trying to crawl out from under the seider deal man. honestly i think we're gonna be super cautious with bedard's extension talks, which is probably why it's taking so long lol

yeah that makes sense, they gotta think long term not wanna get stuck paying seider-esque contracts for a decade lol man
