Description

Let's hear it.

This reeks of brilliance.

Marchessault on the 1 year overpay to see what he can do. Similar to the Bert and Domi contracts. Playing on the first line. If he delivers, he will ultimately end up with much more money than taking some guaranteed 3-4 year deal at a 5-7M AAV.

No thanks on Harris. Sharks have too many LD as is.

Not sure how much sense the one year deal really makes for Marchessault, even at the high AAV.

Unless he's the next Joe Pavelski, he's probably not going to convince people he's worth MORE money/term at 34 after a year in Montreal than he is at 33. So the upside for him is he secures a similar-term contract, plus the big Montreal payday. The downside is his game falls off a cliff (as tends to happen to 33 year olds, not to mention the risk of a new environment) and he no longer gets the chance at One More Big Contract, which could cost him much more than that 9 million will offset.

The hometown allure could be real, but 33 year olds should probably take term if they can get it. Seems like a Zuccarello type contract is in his future.

Add your next 10 firsts and then its a maybe lol

The Flames would never retain for that long and take a garbage contract at that for no compensation.

Put the retention on Anderson instead of Huberdeau and Calgary might consider it.
