          I really don't get Evolving Wild's contract predictions. He currently makes $6M, his QO is $10M (which is insane), but somehow he signs a 4 year deal for less than what he makes now? Doesn't make sense to me.

          Edit: "He" meaning Meier, wasn't clear on that.

          This is some good stuff.

          Imo RW is more desirable being such a very heavily dominant lefty league.

          Boeser is my favorite out of the bunch

          Good looks on everything you got in here!

          It's more of a "market value" indicator than real contract predictor

          Boeser
          Meier
          Fiala
          Konecny

          Meier is on an absolute heater this year so he's the top guy right now but I think NJ would really benefit from adding another right handed shot in the top 6 (Boeser). You'd also be buying low on him and the asking price would be considerably less. I like Fiala but I think Boeser's a better fit when he's on his game. Konecny is good but I don't think PHI would move him.

          Meier would be my top target, the 10m QO isnt an issue because you aren't forced to offer it, if you can't get him to sign for long term then its just like he's a UFA. Though that does lead to a lot of guys needing raises in the next two years.

          I'd want Boeser most of all. Probably Meier/Fiala next.

          Meiers QO isnt a problem, you dont have to offer it and sign him like he's a ufa
