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

[markog]

Seems expensive…

Dubas would give him 11m.

 

[Mitch nylander]

Pietrangelo makes 8.8 million though.

My bad I misread it, thanks lol. I read 8 mill.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

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, Pietrangelo, etc

8.8 > 8.45

Your math skills need some serious work.

RFA signings often seem overpaid at the start and then accurate later. Ufa start good and overpaid in a few years.

 

[Cypher]

Makar will get more... I expect in the 8.8 to 9.25 range

Again, misread it. I read 8 mill. My mistake.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Seems like a win win for both sides.

 

[SensontheRush]

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.

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

Pietrangelo has a higher AAV, so you are wrong there. Hedman signed his deal at 10.79% of the cap, while Miro signed his deal at 10.37% of the cap. You can't just compare eras without controlling for inflation.

I guess that makes you double wrong.

 

[BruinsBtn]

I don't know what happened to him last year but two years ago he was the best player in the playoffs.

Absolute steal. He's every bit as valuable as the highest paid players in the league.

 

[AHockeyFanatic]

Seems expensive…

The weird thing about the NHL is that all of the good players seem ridiculously over-priced as it relates to the salary cap.

[Willy Stylez]

Fair deal.

I know it's been a long time since the Leafs played the Stars but your evaluation of Heiskanen seems off. He's a young franchise 1st D, a top 10-15 D already in the NHL at 21 y/o. Should be value in the same ballpark as Chabot (8 M$ for 8 years). It's essentially the same contract he got.

 

[LOFIN]

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

Not really, the Avs are not in a cap crunch.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

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

I'm sure that's true but there's a price to paid for having that much young talent getting paid relatively early in their careers.

That's understandable, I only see him a few times a year. Which is why most of you are probably right on those saying it's a steal.

I guess time will tell.

 

[EXTRAS]

I think this is 1.45M too much

Hedman signed in 2016, the contracts are not comparable in the slightest.

 

[StickShift]

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

pretty easy comparables for vancouver

I would be ecstatic if Hughes signs a bridge around 3y x 5m. I suspect that the market has evolved in the two years since those deals were signed. I suspect the ask from Hughes is closer to 6.0-6.5 for that term.

the deal Hedman signed 5 years ago?

Hedman signed for 10.8%

Heiskanen got 10.4%

 

[serp]

Wonder what the bridge options looked like.

 

[Ambassador Of Fun]

He’s probably the 2nd best defenseman in the league and could take over the throne within a year or two

 

[topshelf15]

Good defenders are always expensive....

 

[Rumplesnipeskin]

Great deal for Dallas, the kid is a heck of a player, and he'll get better.

 

[AwesomePanthers]

Good for Dallas to sign him long term, but I feel like the money is a bit too high.
