Sammy’s draft stock dropped in his draft year because he decided to not go to the USHL and instead played on the local high school team to defend their state championship. They did end up defending their championship. He then got in a handful of USHL games. Enough to show he belonged. I think he ended up being selected in and around where he was projected to go, mid 2nd round.

Morrissey's contract was 7.67% of the cap when it kicked in. He didn't become a big pt producer until the 3rd year of that contract. That % of next year's cap would be 7.33 mil. Samberg is comparable to Morrissey at that time, IMO. I think he should be signed for 8 years and the number should start with 7.

I think the Pionk signing helps us with getting him locked in at the same AAV.
They can go to him and his agent and say you make up 50% of this great pair, and offer him the exact same deal (with a couple more years hopefully).
If Chevy frames it up that way it will force him to argue he's more valuable than Pionk which may be uncomfortable for Samberg to do.

That argument may be uncomfortable for Samberg. His agent won't have any trouble with it at all.
Snerg won't even be in the room.It will make for an interesting back and forth between Chevy and the agent though. Agent says yes. Now what will you pay to add 2 years to the term. I think that if Chevy leads with that, it would be pretty close to where they end up.

With Samberg evolving into a pretty good D man, it makes it extra special that Judy and I were at the Ducks game when he scored his first NHL goal.
Almost right behind the Jets bench at that game.

Since we were comparing Samberg to him elsewhere, Slavin's deal is $6,461,250 x 8 years (un-buyoutable with all but $1M each year paid as signing bonuses).That argument may be uncomfortable for Samberg. His agent won't have any trouble with it at all.

That's equivalent to $7,011,925 x 8 under the 2025-26 $95.5M cap.
ill be surprised if Samberg touches 6M. Morrissey had a career high of 31 pts, and a couple ~0.5 PPG years when he signed his long-term deal. Samberg's career high, in a higher scoring era, is 20 pts. maybe i am not adjusted to the new cap enough, however i just cant see a 20-pt dman getting a big cap-hit & just great defensive play doesn't always mean big $$$.

There's an item for negotiation in the next CBA. Limits to signing bonuses. It is a bonus for signing. So how about limiting it to the first year of the contract. Sign 1 time, get 1 signing bonus. Or limit it to 20% of each year's salary. SB has really gotten out of hand.

Yep! Hard to tell, but I think that was Wheeler congratulating Sammy on his first goal.
Either that or while the play was still under review.
Can't remember now, haha

interesting.
amazing how that draft compared to our 1st pick that never went anywhere - Vesalainen - almost like Samberg was our 1st rd choice instead. He has developed nicely and it makes me very excited for Salo as well

I admittedly have lot bad takes here (that some people love to point out). However I must toot my own horn on one of my great takes. This is what I posted 2 years ago when his last deal was ending.
This post elicited some mocking including @hockeyarena reacting to it with a "laughing face emoji". Indeed it would be the Jets who would be laughing right now if they'd signed him to that deal esp with the cap going up.
