No
He isn’t but I think he’s gonna be a bargain by years end
Year 1 No then Yes
The problem with watching hockey is the Ref and rules. We don't know which rules is going to be used in a game. This game nope not used, oh tomorrow night it will be used. WHY? make the rules black and white. COME ON.
I think he will be but probably not right now
Zegras contract looks shaky but same philosophy was applied to the signing. Matthews deserves his contract. And honestly, marner deserves 90% of his. Nylander probably makes 1m too much and Tavares is paid about 3m too much.
The Kings could have gotten Byfield at a slightly lower number too, but they probably did this in a hurry due to a fear of an offer sheet…
Fox is yesterday's Park.?
This contract is not as bad as Robert Thomas and Jake Sanderson. Those two deals are one of the worst active contracts right now. This is a very low risk move by the Kings which is surprising since they have made very dumb decisions in the past
This contract is going to age quite nicely!
Since this is a Leafs channel. Just use a Leaf comparable. Year prior to Nylander’s $6.9M was 61pts/82 games = .754. Quinton just got 55pts/ 80 games = .688. Then 688/.754 = .912. .912 x $6.9M = $6.29M So very slightly minor overpay perhaps, but he’s also switching to centre and not a pushover.
I’d like to see how he plays without Kopitar and Kempe. He never truly earned that spot on the first line and his numbers without them are awful
Idk their cap situation but i wouldve given him an extra mil or two to try and get an 8 year extension instead of 5. This will be a bargain no later than year 2.
As an Oilers fan, I'd fight anyone who says he isn't worth that much.
Everyone saying he's not worth the money yet but will be in a year or 2…. He's worth the money already lmao. His defensive metrics are phenomenal and he drove every line he was put on last season. This guy is just scratching the surface. Also, according to The Athletic his market value was $7.4mil last season so yeah….. he's worth it
Mark Schieffle and Nik Ehlers signed for the same or less on their first extension.
Jesse doesn’t know what he’s talking about like normal it’s not 26 for ufa it’s 27 not hard to look up
Its that leaf fans want a certain type of player makes you clouded
