His takes on the lack of communication between his agent and his GM read like Kenny Chesney lyrics from "Have Another Beer In Mexico".
?I?m not worried about it not getting done or anything like that,? he told NorthJersey.com.?Hopefully it will get done soon. There?s no real deadline or anything.?
Pop another cold one. Chill out.
The NHL landscape is littered with quality, young RFA stars. One would think that there would be some urgency to get them signed so as to avoid any drama or bad feelings before training camps open six weeks from now.
Without pressure points, negotiations tend to lag on. In Henrique's case, he and his agent seem to be okay with the "we'll get a deal when we get a deal" approach. Were I the agent representing a star RFA in today's NHL, you better believe that I'd be enforcing pressure points in our negotiations.
St. Louis Blues GM Doug Armstrong is being so chill with the negotiations with their #1 D Alex Pietrangelo, that they re-signed veteran Jay Bouwmeester to a five year, $27 million contract extension on Thursday. Nonchalance is the order of the day. What message is Blues management sending to the #1 D man by making him sit and wait while the team takes its sweet time extending an over-hyped D for $5.4M AAV per season for the next five seasons? If I was Petro's agent, I'd be cutting my agent to the front of the feeding trough. Too bad Chris Stewart, Jake Allen, Kevin Shattenkirk, Jay Bouwmeester, and Jordan Leopold. My client comes first. Thats how I roll.
The NY Rangers are playing the waiting game with Derek Stepan, as are the Caps with Marcus Johansson , The Sens with Jared Cowen, the Coyotes with Mikael Boedker, and, as the Leafs Nazem Kadri, and the Devils with Adam Henrique.
Cody Hodgson is in the same state of suspended animation as his fellow RFA counterparts. Lots of talk between his agent Ritch Winter and Sabres GM Darcy Regier, yet there's no new contract to speak of YET.
Henrique says that he's not sweating the small stuff. He even said that he hasn't spoken with his agent in a while.
?There?s nothing really holding it up. It?s a matter of time,? Henrique said.?We want to make sure we get the best deal for both sides.?
Here's my take:
Pay me NOW , and I'll buy us all 10 rounds of beers in Mexico!
