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.

Very strange comp

Hronek was exactly what he was the entire time in Detroit; we had no delusions about him. It's only in Vancouver that he took his play to another level for one season and everyone started telling us we f***ed up. Wings fans were very happy with the Hronek for a mid-1st trade at the time it was made.

Ed has been much, much better than Hronek since the day he entered the NHL and nothing in their past performances indicates it will be any different moving forward. He's on a Seider trajectory, and possibly better.

I would lock him up at 8.25 - between Raymond and Seider - x 8.

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Don't be surprised if Edvinsson settles for a contract around the Raymond one.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

At the end of the day it's hard to predict because it's way different if he negotiates this year versus if he waits until next year.

There could be a $2M/year difference there, honestly.

I saw "Value of: Simon Edvinsson..." and prepared for a shitshow. Glad to see a more reasonable proposition.

I am guessing he will sign a bridge deal, 2 or 3 years, at current 2nd pair/#3D money.

Seider and ASP could be both on the same Powerplay tbh. That’s what I would do.

If we sign him this year there’s no way he makes over what Seider makes. It’s just not going to happen, the team has set that precedent with Larkin and it’s now set with Seider too. The guys aren’t going to want to push for more than their friends/leaders of the team. I bet he gets 7.5-8 x 8 this off season.

Just IMO, but he has the ability to sign 2 years after Seider signed his deal and the cap will likely be up like 15% in that range. I don't think that new deals will be limited by much earlier contracts.

It’s archaic thinking to place an internal cap based on AVV and not % of cap. Gonna cost some dinosaur GMs if they think that way.
