Value of: Simon Edvinsson’s next contract

[FriendlyGhost92]

Yzerman would just say he’s not good enough to run a powerplay then. Points are points, doesn’t matter where it comes from or why. It just shows you’re trusted enough to be on the ice in those situations.

Not giving him an opportunity and then holding it against him in negotiations seems like a good way to run players out of your organization.

8x7.5 or 7.75

He’s been a beast all year. Simon will only get better from here on out.

Yzerman drives a hard bargain, he wont get more than Seider. With the cap going up he might get close to Seider, but he doesnt have close to the track record for somhing bigger on a long term deal. Close to Seider and I'm happy, noticeably less I'm ecstatic

Given Yzerman's track record Id be surprised to see him signed this summer.

Agreed on this, though the second half is dependent on when it's signed.

If he signs this summer, he doesn't really have a leg to stand on making more than Seider. Changes a bit with a $104M guaranteed cap and another solid season under his belt.

$8.55M in the 2026 offseason is essentially $7.25M in the 2024 offseason.

Where does ASP play on the PP?

Grand Rapids.

If they pay him 8x8+ and ASP turns into what they are hoping for, then what (salary cap wise)?

If they pay him $8M x 8, then Larkin/Seider/Edvinsson/Raymond will take up about 28% of the salary cap by the time ASP needs a second deal.

In simpler terms, it wont matter.

With the cap surge, young players are unwise to sign long term contracts.

The cap surge was expected before they even ironed this out, and you still had guys signing 8 year deals.

I think a lot of guys just want the security of getting their money locked in now.

Could be hronek 2.0 you just never know. With dman they have to prove and show I'm guessing it be a bridge and than the big contract. See how other names start signing as d man and how similar it will be and what not.

 

[SirloinUB]

Based on how the Raymond, Seider, and Larkin negotiations went down I would be shocked to see Ed signed to an extension this summer.

Edvinsson and Hronek are nothing alike, nor is their situation.
