Value of: Noah Dobson's Next Contract

[impaaaaaact]

Let's assume Dobson doesn't have a huge fall off or get injured and lands around or above the 70 point mark again this season. Does he push for 8 figures? For some context, the only active defensemen to have multiple 70 point seasons before signing a contract are Erik Karlsson (14.11% of cap) and Brent Burns (10.67% of cap). Hughes, Fox and Carlson have all done it too but had already signed a contract beforehand - same for Morrisey who basically did it last year too.

Isles beat writers are consistently projecting his next contact at 8x8 or 8.25x8 - do you think that's reasonable?

Depends on how much Cap space the Sharks have.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

With the contracts that have been handed out in the last week, he should walk into negotiation meetings in goalie gear.

 

[Captain Mountain]

A 25 year old RFA RD with size, significant offense and strong defensive metrics playing very tough competition?

I'd be surprised if he didn't get an eight figure AAV on an 8 year deal even if he gets injured or doesn't hit 70 points.

I'd imagine his point totals would get him more than Seider. Can't see it not starting with a nine at least.

11M x 8 assuming he gets 70+ pts

I can see him being the new highest paid defenceman in the nhl. Edit: if he puts up another excellent year.

Ill say he gets 12x8

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

If he hits 70 points again and his deal is 8 years, and it doesn’t exceed $10M…. Lou has something on him/his agent

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Gonna say he gets 8x8-8.5 if he matches last years numbers.

I do think his playoffs will determine how much more he gets from there.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

I think he’ll be in the high 8s or low 9s

 

[A1LeafNation]

Has to be 10m per or more.
