Value of: Daniel Sprong's Next Contract

[Kraken Jokes]

I'm having a hard time gauging what the appropriate extension is for Sprong. His stats this year:

GP 63 G 21 A 25 PTS 46 +/- +14 PPG 6 PPA 8 TOI 11:16

Quite impressive numbers for a guy with 4th line minutes, and it's not like an enormous amount of his points are on the PP.

Age 26, on his 4th team already. Not much of a track record.

I would push for a shorter term "show-me" deal but he may have other plans.

Thoughts?

Sprong probably takes the money wherever he can get it because there won’t be many more opportunities like this for a player with his history. ARI makes sense as does CAR.

Tough player to gauge, I imagine he will need to take a “show me” contract and bet on himself.

As an RFA I’d guess like 1 or 2 years at around $2.5 million.

He’s an average joe player.

if a team wants vet depth player if they don’t have the ELCs ready then those teams can sign him to something short.

Something around what Erod got from Colorado. 1 year, 2 mil.

Do lots of average players pace for 25g/60p seasons with 4th line minutes?

An outlire shooting pct and power play production.

buyer beware…..

As an RFA with arb rights, unless the offer is good, he may just file for arbitration.

He's provided huge value this year. Francis should say "okay, show us you can do that again". $3m x 1.

Definitely not. We've seen outlier p/60s before but a rate like this lasting a full season is incredible.

I'll start with $600, Bob
