Holy crap, who's his agent? Good for him.

 

[TheLegend]

Seravalli says it's 4 x $6 million AAV

 

[FinnishCoyote]

Thought it would be at 5,5 AAV, but whatever

A $1M more than I thought he would get. Glad that it's done.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Agent did fine work. Utah can afford it though.

 

[Dead Coyote]

Should be longer than 4 if he's getting 6. Bit of an overpay. Not that bad but...still not great.

It is a LOT of an overpay IMO.

I like Durzi, nice... wait, WHAT THE

It's not a flat cap world anymore. The price is about what is to be expected.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Also looks good to agents of free agents.

 

[Bandit34]

I don't mind overpaying for Durzi. He has proven to be a great fit here.

 

[Jakey53]

Ok, only Hayton left. When does he have to be signed?

 

[Dead Coyote]

2m isn't that much, and it's not quite in the salary range where 2m makes a huge difference (like 9-11m for example) but yeah, for 4 years it's not great. Hope he can grow into it though.

 

[crazyhockeylover96]

Apparently, Durzi is switching to forward?

 

[Grimes]

Honestly this is not necessarily someone I wanted long term. A 6 x 6.5m could look ugly by year 4. We've seen players like Gostisbehere go from being hailed as the second coming of Bobby Orr by Philly fans to the team trading him with a 2nd to dump him. You almost don't have to worry about Durzi at this price in these years, and what else are we using the cap on anyways?

Plus the cap will keep going up and we have a real owner.

Yep. I agree. Plus, we have to dump him sometime in the next 3 years because he wears Daniil But’s number. (Sarcasm)

Why didn't you want him long term? He's 25 yrs. old. This is the time you want a player long term. He is also getting help with Sergachev coming onboard.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

should have been 4x$4.5

good news is that it is only 4 years so his replacement will be ready by then

 

[DustyDangler]

A touch confused by how many think Durzi deal is an overpay. Does anyone have an example of a defenseman near his age, signed recently and near his production at $4-5m?

• Sean Durzi 25 years old 41p 4x$6m
• Vince Dunn 27 46p 4x$7.35
• Travis Sanheim 27 44p 8x$6.25m
• Jacob Chychrun 25 41p ? He will get at least $6m+ on his next deal no?

Chychrun isn't pulling $6m/year on his next deal. For what Durzi is and what he provides, 4x$4.5 is more what I think he's worth, but that's what agents are for, I guess. Durzi and I have very different jobs, but if his agent us available during my next contract negotiation, I'll gladly pay him 10% if he can do for me what he just did for Durzi.

The Caps just gave Roy $5.5 for 6 years. Chychrun will not be getting less than him to extend and will certainly get $6 if he goes UFA. With all respect to everyone's opinions, I perceive yall are stuck in the flat cap era for contract valuations.

Edit: Also, it looks like Chychrun is already making $7, $6 for base and $1 for signing bonus. It is only cap that is $4.6.
