JM_ Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 @mll can you explain this one to me? 8x8 for 1 year 20 goal scorer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenspear Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 23 year old ppg+ player, 8x8 seems about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Big contract for a breakout season but can not argue with him for cashing in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Seems like an overpayment now on a small sample size but I'm sure Stl is banking on Thomas continuing to improve, wherein this deal will be quite reasonable if he continues being a ppg player and the cap inevitably increases. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobayashi Maru Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Horvat's clone gets 8x8. Guess Horvat will be in a similar category, maybe slightly less due to age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryberg Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 His best days are behind him. Should have stayed with matchbox 20. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure_Pavel Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Good signing, good young player already pt/game. These young star players on 8 year contracts almost always age well due to rising cap. Would have loved for Petey to sign a similar deal for more money though.

It is generally $100,000's per point so 7.7. Big and Physical too. Two big contracts up next year for them in O'Rielly and Tarasenko. Probably hoping the cap goes up in 4 years.

But, he isn't a big player, not sure why you're saying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat has never been close to a PPG player. Schenn is more of a comparable contract (6.5m x 8yrs). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kind of surprised me to see such a huge bet from one good year. Edited July 13, 2022 by JM_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 With all these RFAs getting massive deals right away... there's gonna be several terrible contracts in the near future. Not ALL of these guys are gonna continue on their trajectory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas hasn’t even hit his prime years yet and will probably only get better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
