Mayfield is gone, this is his one chance to get a big contract unless Lou does something crazy like the Casey contract to keep him here long term. Either way he deserves it, played very well for years in a contract far below market value.
The Isles really need to focus on moving out Bailey (easier said then done, I know) to open up space. Let’s say Bailey is gone next year and Parise retires, you have to figure one of Raty, Holmstrom, Dufor or Ishakov make the team as well. Maybe you can get Garland in the offseason to and elevate one of the prospects, but Isles still should keep Beau as they need all the speed they can get up front or there will be more games like the Devils one ahead for them.
