>So, when one person told me that Morris and Co. may be looking for an AAV in the $10 million and up range over an eight-year max term when it comes to Konecny (especially if he enters next season unsigned and picks up his production), it did not shock me in the least. As far as I know to this point, it appears that’s where the ask is starting on the side of the player….
>If I was a betting man, the magic number here seems to be in the $9 million range. The Meier deal is the benchmark but based on the rising salary cap and Konecny’s overall superior production, a bump in salary is only fair. But due to Konecny’s age, going much higher is not reasonable, as he’ll be 18 months away from 30 years old by the time the new deal kicks in, along with the looming Michkov factor.
