Hard to say - the value actually looks okay, but as people mentioned - the health is the key.

 

[moosemeister]

He’s done nothing to earn this deal.

 

[RemoAZ]

I like the kid's game but this seems way too early for this contract. Dvo's seemed a little early as well. They are betting heavily on these two guys being keys to the rebuild. Hope they are right.

I wouldn't say nothing, but yeah it's a bit scary. He looks great when healthy, but 2 serious knee injuries this early on is extremely nerve-racking.

That being said, I see what Chayka is doing. He is completely buying into his young core. Can't hate that, they are all talented players.

Not only is he buying into his young core, but it looks like, based on these deals, hes looking to create low AAV with the salary closer to the back end. If they do over achieve their AAV, then they become super valuable assets that can be moved to teams with money for significant returns. Not saying JC will move them, but that option becomes very easy for teams.

6 more years of a living legend, priceless!

Seems like a real gamble

I think I’ve completely lost it. I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t love this deal. I think it’s great. I’m really totally confused by the lack of enthusiasm.

I don't think Chychrun has proven himself as a top 4, certainly not a #3 type. He's also blown out both knees and a shoulder already IIRC. Chayka held all the chips and overpaid a bit.

There's showing faith and then there's undeserved gestures. Like they couldn't even wait ten games back from his injury?

I’ve seen a different player then. The player I saw was remarkable. Clearly a top D in the making. I love the signing.

Go to Capfriendly and choose compare this contract, you will quickly get your answer.

I think it's a great deal and I was Chychrun's biggest naysayer his draft year.

Flashes absolutely but not consistent stints of top level play which is usually what you want to see before handing out six years, doubly so for someone that has accumulated injuries.

I like him better than 7-8 of the first 11 guys. Easily. Arguably more. Many have older deals. What’s your point? I think I like the contract even more.

I haven’t seen flashes. I’ve seen consistent stints of high level play from his very first week in the league after his draft year, and some unrelated injuries that amount to bad luck.

Glad you aren't the GM, but I guess in this case you kinda are??

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

In a world where Kris Russsel gets 4x4 this is a gamble that's prob worth it

 

[rt]

I think there are some bad memories at work here. This kid is really good. He’s missed some time and I think people have gone foggy.

 

[Jamieh]

This player has bridge deal and prove yourself written all over him. So far in his career he has proven nothing with 34 NHL points in two season's.

 

[rt]

I like him better than Dvorak.

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

If you think he's legit and then you bridge him, if he's as good as you think he is he costs 7mil next contract. if he isn't as good as you think he is your prob out of a job and it's not your mess anyways

 

[Jamieh]

They both signed undeserved contracts with a team that Can't afford the errors. Add Keumper to the list as well.

Tgere are 12 D men with a $7 million Cap, I doubt Chychrun joins that group in a couple years.
