[Signing] Blackhawks re-sign Seth Jones


Recommended Posts

Agreed, sounds like an overpayment.  Pietrangelo signed for $8.8 million and I don't know if he's better than him, and then there's Hedman (who might be an anomaly) at $7.875.  Sure his type has gained value with how he can influence all aspects of the game but he's not consistently as dominant as those other guys.

Really like SJ..see some Larry Robinson in this guy. But man, that's a pricey ticket.

It's so over the top (considering the flat cap environment) that it makes OEL's contract look cheap by comparison (when you consider when OEL's was signed).

Keep in mind that Tampa pays zero state tax, so Hedman's contract makes him more money than Pietrangelo. The league needs to step in and level the playing field with these teams that get a leg up like this.

Nevada has no state tax either
