Nashville needed to get him locked up long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriGold Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 What a deal for the Preds.. Steal, he will be worth more next season alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Pretty much right on the nose for what he should receive. And based off of his draft position, production, and age, this will likely be what Mark Scheifele receives for his extension. Although, because he'll be the #1 center on the team going forward, he'll likely get a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucypass Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Great contract! I think the Predators are going to be pretty scary with their young roster reaching their primes in a couple of years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Amazing deal. He's 21 and just had two 60pts seasons. This past year 64pts and 33 goals and the year before that 63pts and 27 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Monahan Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Great deal for the Preds. He's still young and has the potential to make this deal a real bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucypass Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Just now, mll said: Amazing deal. He's 21 and just had two 60pts seasons. This year 64pts and 33 goals. Last year 63pts and 27 goals. He had a great run near the last few games of the season too! Almost didn't break 60, but was happy when he did. Always enjoy seeing young stars in the NHL hit great numbers. Just too bad when it's not for the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Kid is young and keeps getting better - seems like a reasonable deal, if not slightly on the side of 'future' growth potential worked into the term/price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 What a deal. Remember when he was supposed to go third overall and fell all the way to 11th for the caps and they traded him for MARTIN ERAT lmao. Its like edmonton trading Pulijiarvi for like Troy Brower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Nashville is the prime example of how a budget team should be run. Not only are they epitome of excellence in how to run a hockey team, they are also an incredibly classy organization. To all those who talk about non traditional markets, Nashville is just that and yet they have assembled a great fan base. I hope those that spurn them never achieve success, looking at you Jason Spezza and Jimmy Vesey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawksFan94 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Just another great contract signed by them... Josi, Ellis, Ekholm, Forsberg... Around 16M total between the 4, great cap management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomniac604 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 pretty solid signing. considering his age, ability and goal prowess. don't find many 25+ goal scorers that young who sign that sort of deal. there is usually a bridge which winds up in a bigger payday. props to both Nash & Fil in wanting to work a cap-friendly deal. Nashville continues to be a terrific environment that players love to be in. They've been good for a few years, but I expect them to be great in the next few.

Moonshinefe Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 It's a good deal, he'd be worth more on an open market. All signs point to this guy being a 1st liner with point-per-game production fairly soon, and youth is on his side. I was also blown away with the fact Nashville pays Roman Josi a minuscule $4mil/year. This is a guy playing top pairing minutes while posting 60 points as an offensive D-man. Nashville has some sweet contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, because he'll be the #1 center on the team going forward, he'll likely get a little more. Will Mark command the same? Forsberg burst on as a dynamic player at a younger age & appears the higher upside. Back to back 60 point plus seasons and really 2 years younger than Scheifele when he "broke out?" If I was the Jets I would give him a generous bridge offer of 2 years Prepared to pay big bucks if he becomes a true force as a number one centre. The real reason is a comparison between Stamkos & Subban. People argue Subban is paid too much & Stamkos's last deal was a "bargain." But Subban is now contracted until he is 30ish. Stamkos is a free agent at 26. Winnipeg needs to retain guys like Scheifele without making him a free agent at such a young age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
