Confirmed with Link: Stars sign Oettinger to 8-year, $8.25m AAV contract extension

Is it though? He's played in more games sure, but Swayman has the better numbers

I don't think it is now (I don't give a shit about WJC stuff personally) because neither has accomplished that much in the NHL, but it I think it will be in a short time.

IMO it's a toss up between them, they're even the same age

No hints with this one.

But, Wyatt and Roope deals go hand in hand.

Gonna be crazy watching Wyatt next three seasons playing on a bridge deal with a $3.15mil cap hit

They are pretty comparable, there's no scenario barring a really strong year for Oetter this year, that he has a legitimate case for 10M

I like Swayman a lot but he's been in a 1A/1B tandem and hasn't played a single season as a #1. He's never played more than 44 regular season games. Meanwhile, Oettinger's been a #1 since 2021-22 when he played 48 games... and he's taken the team to back to back WCFs.

I love this part of contract discourse but were there any comparables to even support Oettinger getting less than 8M? The entire market shifted- 8M is the stud goalie number. Oettinger could've held 10M over the Stars into next summer. His resume is a lottttt more impressive than Swaymans.

My thoughts exactly.

Richer than I'd like but i understand it. Don't think Otter has proven to be consistent enough to be paid like a top 5 goalie but hopefully he gets there.

I don't think this is top 5 goalie money even right now and 100% won't be in the near future either
