Kleven looks like another good, young one, with size. Then you've got names like Chycrun & Zub. They have a LOT of 7, 8 m-ish AAV's, & probably 1 will have to go. Sens might actually be decent again in a couple years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougieL Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Wow...that's a big contract for someone who's played 77 career games. 32pts in 77 games is a great rookie season, but still... I suspect this gamble will pay off, but has there ever been nearly as big of a contract signed for a player who has played less than 80 career games?

Didn't Boldy sign his extension for 7mil after 47 games? His contract begins this year but I am pretty sure he signed it before last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd. Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I just found out today he’s Geoff Sanderson’s son. I liked Geoff in his short time here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 This is a gamble and I get the idea, but way too much, too long. Meh, just not something I would want my team doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 A lot of folks here suggesting he's overpaid because of his production simply haven't watched enough of him. He's an insanely good defender, always preventing high-danger scoring chances and always backchecking whenever he makes mistakes. Even if he doesn't improve and simply plateaus, Ottawa will still be okay with it. Obviously everyone expects him to do much better - a reasonable expectation. Just watch any part of this massive highlight video. He makes the right play a lot more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RakuRaku Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Oh great!! Now Hughes is gonna demand $10M+ and I doubt Petey will stay for $10M+... Risky long term deals are gonna hurt the entire league eventually when there's so much uncertainty with global economy!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 3 hours ago, Strawbone said: Is every player with potential getting 8x8 now? From Ottawa they are. They seem to really like paying ~8M/year for potential. First Chabot, then Tkachuk, then Norris and Stutzle, and now Sanderson. So far Tkachuk and Stutzle seem to have been good bets and Chabot's been up and down. But also 5 players around 8M seems like a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck73_3 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Either a great bank on future deal or YIKES, no in between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) 21 and a really solid D… probably a fair deal. If he keeps up his level of play he is a $6 million player, if he improves even in modest increments he will be worth more than his contract in 2-3 years. Ottawa is overpaying a little now while they aren’t really competitive for likely cap savings in a window 3-8 years from now that they should be competitive and even Cup contenders. You know, the reverse of how the Canucks operate. They sign contracts to save money in the short term while they are a bad, non-competitive team in order to pay extra in a window they have a chance to be competitive. Ottawa has a lot of good young players who are going to mature into their peaks at the same time, and will have enough prospects to have a pipeline of cheap ELCs to make up for when they have to pay all these good young guys. Tkachuk Sanderson Stutzle Pinto Batherson Chabot Chychrun I wouldn’t sleep on this team being really really good as these long term contracts become better deals as the cap goes up.

Smashian Kassian Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Good move for the Sens. Sanderson looks like a stud. 8M will be the new 6M in time & this will be a big bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
