What has Lehks done to warrant 3M? He's a bottom 6 player...

Then he doesn't sign for 6 years.

If you honestly believe that he is a bottom 6 player why are you giving a bottom 6 guy a 6 year contract?

Cizikas
Shaw
Clutterbuck
Hyman

Just a few examples of guys that aren't prototypical top 6 players who received long term deals..Do your research before contradicting yourself lol. Hyman might be the most comparable player there.

Quoting: Cabbie91

Cizikas - 5 yrs × $3.35M starting in 2016-17 (4.59% of cap)
Shaw - 6 yrs × $3.9M starting in 2016-17 (5.34% of cap)
Clutterbuck - 5 yrs × $3.5M starting in 2017-18 (4.67% of cap)
Hyman - 4 yrs × $2.25M starting in 2017-18 (3% of cap)

Which of these players signed for 6 years at less than $3M? Which in 2019-20 would be 3.61% of the projected $83M cap. Hyman is the only one below that, however he only signed a 4 year contract, not 6. Everyone knows more term for RFA's means a higher cap hit. Next time, do your own research.

By the way last year:
- Cizikas 14:01 min / game (3rd line)
- Shaw 15:55 min / game (2nd line)
- Clutterbuck 13:58 min / game (3rd line)
- Hyman 17:31 min / game (1st line)

Only two of these guys can be considered bottom 6's, and I think it's generally accepted that it was a bad idea for their teams to sign them long term.

Here is lehkonen's contract projections by evolving wild:
1 yr @ $2.25M
2 yrs @ $3M
3 yrs @ $3.75M
4 yrs @ $4M
5 yrs @ $4.25M
6 yrs @ $4.36M
7 yrs @ $4.75M
8 yrs @ $5.25M

Your 6 year $2.95M is way off of 6 years $4.36M. That's a difference of $8.46M total by the end of that contract. Quite a bit of money.
