Thread: Can we recreate roster from the fringes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeynutter</b></div><div>Again in the salary cap world teams will look at everything. O'Reilly does the same production and only sign a little over 3 million. Stephenson has great chemistry with certain players on the Knights and as the Knights changed their players, his defensive stats and offensive stats have hurt a bit this year. Mainly on the defensive.

This is why I can see all scenarios happening. Many thought O'Reilly would sign a 4.5 million plus multi year last year and didn't. At the same time many though klingberg would sign a bare minimum deal but got 4.5 million out of Toronto. The cap makes some players unpredictable and I can see where Stephenson can be one of the players.

That being said, I do admit that I can see some teams signing him for much more, he is a good player deserving of a raise compared to others.</div></div>

O'Reilly was 2.5 years older when he singed his last contract as to when Stephenson will be signing his. Age played a big factor in what O'Reilly singed for.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeynutter</b></div><div>As previously pointed. I can see all scenarios. I can see a team signing him for 6 million and regretting it as a main reason for his production was with the Knights and being he misfits. This year while still good hasn't been as good. I can see a team signing him 6 million and loving it with him being a great player. I can also see few teams offering him he raise he wants and where a deal like Toronto's gives him one more chance to cash in.</div></div>

He will be 30 when he signs his next contract. There is no incentive to sign a one year deal. He will sing a 6 million 5 year deal on his next contract.

If he signs a 1 year at 3.5 million what kind of upside does he really get? Even if he hits 60-70 points.
