Thread: Minnesota Wild signed Joel Eriksson Ek (8 Years / $5,250,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>What kind of teams pay their 3c's 5 mil?

And few teams pay their 1c more than 9 mil.</div></div>

Boston: Charlie Coyle (although I'd like to point out that this contract is going rotten very quickly)
Tampa: Yanni Gourde
New York Islanders: Jean-Gabriel Pageau
Calgary: Mikael Backlund
Carolina: Your pick between Jordan Staal or Vinny Trochek
And plenty of other teams have their 3C's within the lower bounds of that range. It is pretty typical these days man.

In terms of the 1C, most teams that aren't paying their 1C's 9+ just haven't had them come up for contract since this rule of thumb was accurate, or they weren't the 1C they are today when they signed (looks at MacKinnon)

Thread: St. Louis Blues signed Jordan Binnington (6 Years / $6,000,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>I am laughing my head off now.

This guy’s temper has been a detriment to the team, and has regressed ever since winning a cup, now they’re giving him a long-term contract until he’s 34.

This is the same situation with Murray, except Binnington is older. (At least Ottawa gave Murray 2 fewer years though) Terrible signing by the Blues.

Keeping him in the net in the playoffs over Allen, then trading Allen for nearly nothing, and now he’s signed for over $3 million more per year than Allen on their extensions while Jake is playing better, is a series of bad decisions by the Blues.</div></div>

Yeah Winning the Stanley Cup with Binnington was just Terrible. Allen played one good year with the Blues out of the past 4. They made the right move imo.
Id rather Binnington with this contract over Price at 10.5m lol

Thread: St. Louis Blues signed Marco Scandella (4 Years / $3,275,000 AAV)
My gut says that behind the scenes both Pietrangelo's agent and Armstrong are simply playing a game of chicken while biding their time. No ill will intended towards either side but at the same time they have no urgency to get this done while so much is up in the air still.

We don't even know the state of the NHL yet so really their's nothing to get overly worked up about. We need a couple dominoes to fall in order to get things to start to move faster. At that time you'll have a better idea of whether the possibility of Pietrangelo not resigning is a real threat or not.

Scandella resigning is probably something that was going to happen one way or another which leads me to believe that other moves, aside from the idea of Pietrangelo not resigning, are going to happen anyway. Looking at STL's current cap situation shouldn't be a guaranteed indicator of what happens with Pietrangelo. So while Scandella's contract changes what STL's cap looks like for next year as of now, much can change from now till when the point of signing Pietrangelo also.
