Speculation: If Kevin Shattenkirk hits free agency. Next contract?

[Off Sides]

The team who holds his rights can sign him to 8 years but only if they have those rights prior or at the trade deadline the previous year.

And that team can only offer 8 years before July 1st, once July 1st happens that team can only offer him 7 year too

NHL teams may re-sign their own players to a maximum eight-year deal provided they were on their reserve list prior to the Feb. 29 trade deadline. Other teams are only allowed to sign new players to a maximum seven-year contract.

For the Lightning, that benefit will vanish after June 30.

Once Stamkos becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1, even the Lightning can only sign him to a maximum seven-year contract. The playing field would become level. Depending on the value of the deal, that extra year could be the difference between another $8.5 to $12 million for Stamkos. It is not insignificant.

No. UFA max is 7 years as per the new CBA.

For the amount you post here, you should know this...

Well i do now, It took 8 people to tell me that i'm wrong and it's only 7 years from a new team.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

The Yandle deal looks about right 7 years at $6.35M for Shattenkirk.

 

[McSuper]

No it is true, It's only if St Louis trades Shattenkirk to another team then that team can only sign him for 7 years any team this year could've given Stamkos an 8 year deal because he was an UFA look it up. Tampa wasn't the only team that could offer Stamkos 8 years Only if Tampa traded Stamkos rights to say Toronto then yes they could only offer him a 7 year deal.

Link ? This is just not true . Been over this before .

39m over 6 years, 6.5m aav

Getting a 2nd contract at 33 is more important, he might decline more at 34 and get less money so I think he stops at 6 years, maybe even 5

I think he will sign at least a 6 year $39 million deal most likely either with the Rangers or Bruins maybe the Devils if he wants to play close to home.

Suggest you delete that post/edit it, a lot of people new to the thread will just keep quoting it because they don't read further

If he goes to the highest bidder it's 7 x 7 minimum.

 

[Homesick]

What is Kevin Shattenkirk free agency value?

How many points will he put up this upcoming season?

 

[542365]

7x7.5 wouldn't surprise me one bit. Hell 8M wouldn't really blow me away with all of the crazy deals that are handed out to UFAs. Right handed offensive Dmen are premium players in the NHL. Someone is going to spend big money on him.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

7x7 will be minimum... I expect he will get more though. 8 mill per is my prediction

 

[Xscout*]

7x7.5aav or 7x7.750aav probably.

 

[TGWL]

Guys, did you know he can only sign for 7 as a UFA? I think he gets it!


I'm guessing the $49 million ball park seems about right.

 

[redwings25]

alot of teams need what he brings, he can get 8+ if he just goes to the highest bidder

 

[wintersej]

More than Yandle. Right handed premium.

 

[jacks*]

We will have to ask Shanny since that is where he will sign along with everyone else.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I agree with most of the posters on here, Shatty at minimum will get 7 years $49 million. Maybe even slightly higher.

So which do you think it is?

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Not with the blues?

Minimum 6.5 high point 7.5

6-7 years

 

[Paradise*]

7 × 7.

He signs on the east coast with either Boston or NYR IMO. The Devils could also be an option.

Unless the rangers find a home for some of their bad contracts he aint coming here.

Looking at you Girardi and Staal.

 

[member 157595]

Seeing some of the numbers here...I'd sign him in Toronto for 7 years, $6.5M per year all day long. I think it will take at least $7M/year though and expect it to be more.

Me to man and I wouldn't be surprised to see an offer made the Leafs have. Ton of cap space coming off the books next year and I think he would be a perfect fit beside Reilly

Failing that I would also push for Alzner
