Confirmed Signing with Link: [DAL] Miro Heiskanen signs extension with the Stars (8 years, $8.45M AAV)

[Mitch nylander]

Relative to what?

He'll be a top 5 most expensive dman in the league, which he is not in my opinion. You're essentially paying for his potential.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Makar is going to get more.

To Colorado's chagrin me thinks.

 

[topshelf15]

Seems about right...Great defender,lock him up ...

 

[StickShift]

It's going to be interesting for Quinn Hughes in particular. I could see Makar and Fox sign 8-year deals too. He might be the only player that doesn't get the 8Y term.

Vancouver may be limited by their cap to only signing Hughes to a bridge deal at most. It will be difficult to build that deal without any other comparable contracts.

 

[Vukotal Recall]

Seems expensive…

And the Maple Leaf Award for Jealous Gibberish goes to...

 

[Mountlaine]

Fair for both parties

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

To Colorado's chagrin me thinks.

Maybe, but I think they'd rather pay him the extra million and a half than not have him.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Couldn't get that last $50k... what a terrible agent.

 

[bigdog16]

Makar going to get something similar?

Add another mil +

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

It's paying for what he is now. We are in an era where elite RFAs will be paid what they're worth, and UFAs will be less overpaid than previously.

I mean, of a sort. I will say that the RFA market is still very different from the UFA market. 8M is still really good value for Heiskanen, especially on an 8 year term. He would get considerably more, likely in the tens, if he was a UFA on the same term. The latter's the bigger get here.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Great player, they had to lock him up

 

[Mitch nylander]

Gotta think Hamilton, Fox and Makar will be more than this. Interested to see how those contracts shake down.

Memorial to Roman Polak his first defensive partner in Dallas who wore #45 ?

 

[SI90]

Worth every penny. AVS have some decisions to make to re-sign Makar

Getting paid more than what Pietrangelo got last summer, and Hedman the summer previous.

Did I misread something? 8M is right around #10 for dmen and about 10% less than piets.

Edit: numbers were posted as I was posting this. At the time it was rumored to be around 8

 

[Bruce Granville]

He wanted 66.6 mil and Dallas was afraid.

 

[JoVel]

Should've just made it 8.5 cause it's a lot nicer number to look at.

 

[BergevinBurner]

I'm expecting Makar to get ~10 million now.

 

[Accelleratii]

This deal will end up being a bargain sooner than later. Good on Dallas.

Werenski, McAvoy signed at the same cap the league is currently at.

pretty easy comparables for vancouver

No 8.45 mill.

Only Subban, Karlsson, Doughty and Josi make more...

I don't necessarily agree with him getting more than guys like Hedman etc

8.45 million is #6.

 

[amjay13]

Had to lock him up, great player but does seem a little steep. I guess if the cap starts going up again after a couple years it'll look better.

Pietrangelo makes 8.8 million though.
