Good for them being able to keep him.

Gonna guess $8.5-$9 mill AAV

Had to get it agreed to before 7/1 for the 8th year correct?

 

[Gregor Samsa]

He’s had a wild career. How many saw him scoring 67 goals (regular season and playoffs) as a 28 year old? Florida just has to hope this isn’t an outlier. Either way, congrats to him. He had a huge season and was instrumental in the cup

Just a tad risky, no? Hoping he can repeat his offensive production. Other than that, he was terrific for the Panthers. Good for both parties!

 

[JaegerDice]

Just gotta hope that 20%+ shooting percentage holds up.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Will wait to see the AAV before judgement but usually most bets on hockey IQ turn out to be a good ones. Reinhart is a very smart player.

 

[violaswallet]

Great if less than 8.75, 8.75-9.75 is fine but risky

 

[Kimota]

That's steep.

 

[jetsforever]

He's cashing in on an amazing contract season

 

[Phion Keneuf]

That's steep.

What’s steep? No AAV out yet

 

[trick9]

They had to do it but this contract won't age well.

 

[BB88]

Just gotta hope that 20%+ shooting percentage holds up.

If he signs around 9M it doesn’t have to

Others signed 11+ contracts with worse numbers

They had to do it but this contract won't age well.

By being able to keep both Verhaeghe& Reinhart they have a 5 year window open, if they are able to address the defense

that name on the plate however will

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

They had to do it but this contract won't age well.

in no way shape or form am I going to say the contract will age amazingly, but players who never had to rely on speed or physicality and instead on high IQ usually age the best and that's exactly what Reinhart is.

 

[FissionFire]

Hopefully this doesn’t turn into Huberdeau Pt.2 for the Panthers

 

[Boud]

I'll bet it starts with an 8

 

[Puckstuff]

Hopefully it's a nice high price

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Hopefully $9.5M

I don't think anyone is expecting another season like this from him. It's definitely an outlier.

However, his 2 other seasons with the Panthers he's averaged 30 goals, around 70 points, and is our 2nd best two way forward. He's also the type of player that ages well, with his best trait being his hockey IQ.

Most Panthers fans would be satisfied with him resigning at 8.5-9 mil
