I say lock him up for a long time, he either becomes the superstar we hope or not. I think he has the skills to be a hall of famer for sure. I would like to see at least a deal worth 8 years.
I would like to see that also but at what price? We cant just offer him 8 years at 7 million per right now. If he wants to do 8 years at 5 million per year id be good with that but his agent should be fired for accepting that.
Meet him in the middle at 6? If he brings us a cup or 2 and keeps us competitive for those years, I'm elated with that. With that out of the way it lets management concentrate on shoring up the weaknesses.
10 years, $6 MM per year.
I like 8 years at 6 million per. I wish he would take that deal.
I also like this deal but his agent would want him in free agency sooner than 10 years im assuming.
I could see this happening also, but what do we do if he wants to get 6 million per years for the bridge deal?

Free agent at +/- 31 years old is kinda pushing it.....
That's what I'm saying. His agent would definitely want him being a free agent sooner than 31 so he wouldn't sign a 10 year deal.
So working backwards from this, his MAX term would be something like 5-6 years. He could try to lock in at say $6MM per and roll the dice he goes to Vasilevskiy level for 5-6 years after that.
I doubt that happens. He doesn’t have any leverage for such a demand. He hasn’t really won anything and only has about a year and half in the NHL. I think the Vasi comparison is what we can expect the contracts to look like at this point.
You toHappy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!
