If so some of these deals could be good value, if not, lookout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Tiger Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I really think 8 years in hockey is too long. Should be capped at 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TmanVan Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 The current set up is crazy. You often only get 2 actual years out of these guys on their 3 year rookie deals then they immediately get top dollar. Josh Norris could could definitely keep progressing, but he could just as easily remain as a 25 goal 50 ish point guy who is now making 8 million for 8 years when. I honestly think rookie deals should be bumped up to 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny in Vancouver Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I thought I am a big Josh Norris fan, but not at that AAV. Wow. The Sharks must be really kicking themselves now. Karlsson for Norris and Stultze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 If you're gonna blame anyone blame the GM's, they're the one's who've been digging the hole deeper since the salary cap was introduced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris and Thomas both signed 8x8 we are negotiating for Horvat extension and most fans wanted a long termdeal under 7/7.5 looks less likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas just turned 23 this year and put up 77 points in 72 games. Norris also just turned 23 and put up 35 goals in 66 games (pacing for 43 goals over 82 games) and 55 points (pacing for 68 points). Horvat turned 27 this year and put up 31 goals in 70 games (pacing for 36 goals) and 52 points. 8 years brings Thomas and Norris right into their prime years (31 yo). 8 years for Horvat brings him to 35 years old and likely close to retirement lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
