RWJC Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) Oh my lorrrrrd! But this is where money should be spent. Young guys who will only improve and hopefully give full value over the term of the deal rather than become a buyout candidate in 3-4 years.

Good bet as you gotta spend 60+ M regardless. I'd rather pay kids over getting anchored by UFAs 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Wow, big deal for a kid who's barely proven, a bit like the Petey signing though. These kids need bridges, not long term deals which take them to their late 20s when they end up in a Bo-like predicament where a team has to sign them to another massive deal which handcuffs them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Mustard Tiger said, they're taking risk locking guys up early. Samuelsson too. Trusting their talent evaluators, at both the amateur and pro levels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to lock up and maintain control rather than worry about building up a nice core and then have to blow it up come bridge deals because you can no longer cost control it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 A bit much up front but likely to be an absolute bargain in 3 years or so, when their window should be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnt disagree more, our management failed when they werent able to get Petey and Hughes signed to 7-8 year deals. Teams generally dont win cups with 11 million dollar contracts on their books. Paying a young budding star more money in the early years to keep their cap hit lower in their prime is GMing 101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I'm often a bit skeptical of long-term deals to young guys but I could actually see this one aging well Him and Tage make a great 1-2 punch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
