Drury really needs to sign him to an 8 year contract. If other young players can get that, Drury needs to do this type of deal for him. He will be Rangers captain soon.
100 point season inboundi heard he was playing softball again this summer.....we should trade him for a 4th
easy. let the kid play his gameHe will be Rangers captain soon.
8x8 who says no? That's the kind of deal that allows you to continue to compete later on if he continues to grow and the cap does too
Quite simply because we haven't had that many young players who have been worthy of that type on contract. Signing a player to that type of deal can save cap down the road, but it can also be a problem if the player doesn't develop.I say fair for both sides. Why don’t Rangers ever do these kind of deals with young players. I think Fox was the exception but he was a little older. Lafy should be wearing a letter in the near future. Let the kid have some responsibility. It cant hurt. He has leadership qualities. Good team player
8x8 who says no? That's the kind of deal that allows you to continue to compete later on if he continues to grow and the cap does too
Really what’s the difference if he takes 8x9 now and say 6x6 at 32, or 6x6 now and 8x9 at 30? If we even give 8 years at 30 at that AAV. AND another team can only give 7 years...Laf's contract won't be 8 years. That would mean his next contract after that will start when he's turning 32, which he isn't going to do. He's going to want to set himself up for another big payday. I expect the contract will be 5 years, 6 at most.
When it became clear that Laf was having a breakout season, I thought about putting together a highlight video of all his goals from this year. Started collecting clips and what not, and finally got around to editing it all together. This is the first highlight video I've ever made, so be nice, haha (some of the clips aren't the greatest quality, and I'm not sure why one or two of them are bigger than the others). Just thought it would be fun to do/fun to revisit one of the brighter storylines from the season.
