Why only 4 years?
Top 5 player?Aav is fine for a top 5 player with a massive cap spike. With the remaining year on his deal this is 5 years of knowing AM34 anchors the franchise.
I don't see why, he's got another year on his current deal, plus his 4 year extension so It's really a 5 year deal and now he's signed through his 20'sFour years is a big oof.
8 year aav on this flat cap, sure. The cap is about to skyrocket so you can’t compare raw aav and have to look at cap%.8 year AAV on a 4 year deal. Really was able to weaponize that NMC.
They can bring down the aav maybe that wayHave fun signing him for 8 years at 30 years old
Smart man, will still be in his prime (or still REALLY good) at 30, he can sign an 8 year contract then.
Sorry, top 3.Top 5 player?
Excuse me?

And you guys will be doing the same when McDavid chooses not to go to Toronto in a few years.So much for Matthews jolting to Phoenix when his contracts up
HFB in shambles.
That's not usually the case. Toews had massive health issues. What about Crosby? Or Malkin? Or Ovechkin? Not worth the money at 34?Max term is a disadvantage at 26, not an advantage. Do you think Toews was worth 10.5M last year, or the year before?
Which is fine, but it’s not a great way to show you’re real about winningPettersson is probably going to do something similar in Vancouver. It's probably because the cap is projected to up significantly in the next ~3 years. These guys want flexibility to negotiate another prime-year contract.
