That is a nice AAV for a nice term. If Labanc blossoms, even better.

Based on last season, way too high cap hit, but I suppose they agreed in advance that if Labanc takes the discount he'll get paid for it later.

L for the Sharks in this one imo.

Steep AAV. However, this could end up being a steal.

Seems like Wilson was rewarding him for playing under his true value last year. Hopefully he can bounce back he was really good in 18-19

He’s been good for about 40 points per year over the last 3 seasons. Good young piece for the Sharks. The deal doesn’t look good for last season, but for the year before the deal looks better. It’ll depend how he performs going forward.

Good for SJ. Nice to see they owned up for the brake Labanc gave them last year with his team 1st I want to win 1yr/1mil deal. Even with a COVID excuse not to.

Good for both parties. Labanc gets a nice deal after all of that.

It looks rough today but If Banker goes back to being a 50 point player like he can then I am more than pleased with the AAV, the term is fine as he is still under 25. He is still a power-play wizard.

I get that they should’ve done it last season, but how do you give someone a payday after a down season? Hopefully he gets back to where he was in 2018-19.

he has never cracked 20 goals but they paid him like he has. Ouch!

Figured 3 to 3.5 range.

Goals aren't his strong suit...he's a passer and had nearly 60 points the season before last.

If he becomes a regular 15-20G-50 pts guy, it can be a good deal. I guess it makes it up for his last year's contract.

It would be a good deal if they gave him this contract last offseason. Now it looks weird after that down season. But we all knew that discount would lead to a contract like this. I doubt this deal will look good because my expectations of the Sharks aren't that high tbh. But it's definitely not their worst contract

I understand they needed to reward him for the cheap contract he took last season, but this is a bit of an overpayment.

This is a great deal... For Labanc. San Jose owed him big time for that contract he took and they paid him for it. Honestly, this still might not even cover it as it's just a 5@4aav.

He's not even in his prime yet so guessing what he's worth right now would be just that - guessing - If he hits 50 points consistently then this deal is pretty damn good.
