Please list the 25 guys signing for more than 11.6 in the next year.
Mikko Rantanen
Mitch Marner
Evan Bouchard
For starters.
Does Tavares take a paycut or after all these years of cap going up does he take his 11 again? Easy to say hes not worth it or doesnt need it but i could see JT.
Then whatever the new 8x8 is the kids get after their ELCs when they cap rises 12 million over the next 16 months.
Is it 11 x8s for Marco Rossi, Wyatt Johnston types?
Then I have to assume Kyle Connor gets a 11+ waiting for him under the tree next christmas.
Artemi Panarin as well even ifs its not longterm.
Eichel and Mcdavid probably get xmas gifts over 11.6 as well.
Bobs one more at 11?
John Carlson? Albeit likely shortterm.
Makar, Kaprizov are guaranteed.
Laine in a perfect world for him.
There's 15 off the top of my head that could have signed deals as early as this date next year.
Maybe not 25 ok but point is the Pettersson contract will only age well IF he gets back on track.
It definetly wont scare anyone away other than maybe a cheap owner who doesnt do signing bonuses.
