This is either gonna be in overpayment territory or steal territory. All depends on how well he plays next season cause he could fall of again like he did in Calgary
Still seems like to much of a raise for a small sample size especially when you consider he may be their 3c with Rienhart's signing
Also better send Huberdeau that thank you for the raise card
This is decent money for a second liner. Like a lot of people are saying, it's hard to determine if this is a good signing or not since he's really only shown the ability worth this money for about 15 games last season.
EDIT: I guess this means that Wennberg isn't coming back either. Panthers have about 7 million in cap left and most of that will be going to Reinhart.
Valid but how many players come to the state of Florida, get a little sunshine and absolutely flourish (NHL players are effectively house plants right?) If he builds on what he did down the stretch could be a bargain.
This is either really good or really bad. For Sam Bennet I don't think you can really judge this until the season starts to see if his great pace keeps up.
I love the risk/reward here for FLA. If this contract hits, we could be talking about a top 5 team in the NHL over the next 4 years. I've been very bullish on Sam Bennett since the TDL, and I'm not going back now.
He should be a 3rd liner on a good team, so $4.4mil per is too much. At best this would be a fair deal if he was able to maintain his late season play for all 82 games, but I highly doubt he can. Barely kept himself in the line up in Calgary.
I have no idea if Calgary wasted the guy or if Florida got hypnotized by his play, but 18M is quite à commitment!
I see a lot of “this will be steal or an overpayment. This is incorrect. At the very best this is a fair deal. Most likely it is a not so good contract when he reverts to a 35 point player and a possibility of being a horrible cont tract if he goes sub 30.
