He’s going to spend when it’s needed, not prematurely.
I think it would already be signed otherwise. I’m betting they’re stuck on AAV.
Confirmed with Link: The Jakob Chychrun Thread (update: 3/25/25 | signs 8-year, $72M extension)

Right. It’s about using cap space correctly.
NOT the actual $$$ outlay. That should be maxed, regardless of with “to whom”
If they don’t sign “Chych” it’s because we wanted an AAV that they couldn’t manage (like 12m or something stupid), going in to next years Cap figure.
I don’t think it’ll be because anything else.

So those that like the short term deal of 9.5 for say 2 or 3 years are definitely on to something

Given his current season and his age, I'm fairly sure there are a number (greater than 1) of teams that would give him a large number at max term. Why would he sign for 3 years, risking a blown-out knee (or something). Dude is in the best position possible.
Still hoping he loves the vibes and culture here.
What max number and what term? You think someone will give him 11-12m x 7?
IMO, the “need” is to get that larger number in years 4-8, from his camp. Which 8-9m probably won’t be.
If someone wants to give him 11-12m x 7, well….vayos con dios, JC6. Thanks for the memories.

Don't know. Just know that there are a number of bad and/or desperate GM's.

If we sign this guy for 8 years there's a decent chance he just leaves halfway through to find himself in the mountains.

Well....better than letting him walk.
Anyway, glad that's behind us.

I mean that was the consensus ceiling for him, right? 9 is probably going to be a fair price if he keeps playing like this.

This was the common # thrown out. Anything over 9 most were questioning.
yep… that is right where I thought it would be. Glad we locked him in for 8 years. Thought short term was possible but as i have been saying since day 1, he knows what a bad org looks like, and Caps are not that. Just took some time to iron it out. Great outcome for both sides.

This was the maximum I could accept without hating the deal.

It would be a good starter if he's on the 1st pairing at the next season's opening night

Curious on trade protections….nothing online yet.
I predict 15 team, maybe 10 team for first few years.

When he got cut by Barkov's skate last week I thought this might get done post haste, with the Landeskog show on TBS
