Thread: Strome Necas and 3mil left to play with
Been thinking about what Strome would be worth, and here is my thought.....

For me, the closest comparable given Strome's sample size and how it looks is Anthony Duclair in Florida. By no means perfect, Dulclair's sample size was just as checkered as Strome's up until he sign in Florida - and even after a campaign where he proved he had figured things out, signed for $3 million a year.

Strome has been up and down as well, buy looked great in the second half playing with Debrincat and Kane. But, playing with players of that caliber tells me as a centre, that we can debate of he can carry a line - but with the right fit can produce.

A factor in this debate is one would have to think an attempt was made to trade Strome's rights..... if you move Debrincat and Dach, it simply stands to reason.
Assuming this, GMs were cautious not of Strome possibly, but of a possible arbitration settlement that would pay him more than any team thinks he is worth (given his season last year, I could see a settlement in the range of a $5 million AVV).

Duclair's $3 million over 3 years (keeping in mind tax free) was signed at age 25, so here we are with Strome. Of course we are comparing a winger to a centre, but in terms of production and age, this is pretty close.

So, if I look at the comparable and factors involved, I would suggest Strome in $3.75 million over a 2-3 year term. Certainly would not pay north of $4 million at this time.

Thread: Factor in the MacK extension
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nchest</b></div><div>MacKinnon is one superstar I could see take less to keep his team competitive. He is best friends with Crosby who has never made over $10 million to help his team. I think MacKinnon takes $10.5 million on a 7 or 8 year deal</div></div>

I agree with everything you said here, but it’s important to note that Crosby’s situation is a little bit different. When he signed is 5/43M deal in 2008, the cap was 56,300,000, meaning his 8.7M deal accounted for 15% of the cap. It obviously went down from there, with his next deal in 2013 initially accounting for 13.5% of the cap (using 64,300,000 as a the cap). If Mackinnon took 13.5% of the cap in 2023, his salary would be 11.272M. So while Crosby never took 10M, he always took up a significant portion of his teams cap space

Thread: Factor in the MacK extension
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cdavid24</b></div><div>I mean, how much more could he expect to get? Other than McDavid who makes, what, $13.25 a year?, who else makes $12 or more? I think Mac getting $12 for the next 7 years would satisfy him enough versus taking let's say, $12.75 for 7 or even more elsewhere.
Also, great profile pic. I should've just responded with "listen, I'm gonna need you to get ALLLLL the way off my back here ok?"</div></div>

$15m is a number that gets thrown around for MacKinnon and Matthews. McDavid makes 12.5, but he also signed that contract like 5 years ago as an RFA.

Shortly after MacKinnon and Matthews are up for their extensions is when the cap is expected to start properly going up again, if they hit the open market, they will get offers that high.
