Thread: 2 year flat cap signing Dahlin amp Joki
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Yep both those dcontracts seem right and here is why

Dahlins point totals will make a (9-10 mill contract happen as in his first year he got 44 points in 82 games. This year in 59 games he had 40 points. If he played out the full season he was on pace for 55-60 points. Now lets say 2020-2021 he achieves a 50+ point season yeah 9-10mill contract for 8 years. Cause if we learned anything from Subban, bridge deals on defense man can end up being costly.

If we go by comparables in 2 seasons before their contracts

Chabot before he got his 8million contract had 25 points followed by 55 points a year later. But remember they got him to sign early and while he had 39 points there was the chance he may have gotten 60 which would have made his asking price higher.
E. Larsson had 44 points followed by 40 points. However he played 2 full seasons while Dahlin this year only played 59 games but had 40 points.
Subban in his prime before his contract had 53 points followed by 60 points.

As for Joki maybe reduce the money or increase the term if u plan to pay that much

So either 3.5-4mill for 3-4 years or if u want 5-6mill than 5-6 years.</div></div>

i would be thrilled with those aav's for 8 year deals. maybe you dont do it with jokiharju and do a 3 year deal, but if you can lock up dahlin for 8 years, you do it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFanForSomeReason</b></div><div>I think you guys are underestimating what he'll make. He was the 1st overall pick and has met expectations. Scored 44 points in his rookie year and improved to a 55 point pace this year and he's not a liability in his own zone, either. If he takes another step, he'll be one of the best Dmen in the league at the age of 21. That'll cost big money. Take Ekblad for example, the last #1 overall Dman. His ELC years weren't as impressive as Dahlin's have been so far and he signed for 7.5 when the cap was lower than it is now, and the league has shifted in the way money gets doled out since then; star RFA's are making more. On an 8 year deal for Dahlin, I'd expect between 9 and 11.</div></div>

if we wait until after the season to sign him, he will be the highest paid defensemen in the league on an 8 year deal.

lets hope he takes the eichel route and not the matthews/marner/werenski/meier etc route.
