Welp.... I see you have some opinions based on those extensions and lines.

Cozens should get that if he continues to improve, and that'd be great.

Tage at 5.75? Either you think he's in for a sharp regression, or that goals don't factor into $$$? He nearly potted 40, and unless he plummets back to a 30pt guy, I don't see why his agent takes that contract. All other centermen who exceeded 35 goals last season are making 8m+, except for Hintz who's the same age, and Lindholm + Nelson who are on daylight-robbery contracts.

Nobody pays $5 million for a guy who scores 40 to 50 points. Thompson would have to have a down year, which would basically mean he only scored 20 to 25 goals. But if he does I think he’d be lucky to get a $5 million contract. Realistically I think he has another 30 goal season in him and probably parlays that into a multi year $7 million contract.

I think Thompson was a product of the line combination last year with Skinner having a great bounce back year and Tuck finding his skates in a new team he wants to play for. Skinner has never been capable of stringing two good years together and without his point production, I don't see Tage repeating the 40 goal production. I could be completely wrong and would be very happy if I am, but I'm skeptical of that one stellar year. Give me a second year at 40 goals and the cap hit goes up to the $7MM+ mark. Either way, Tage will be a great Sabre and they should keep him around if they can.
