Thread: Tampas best shot at winning and having a future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tkachinla</b></div><div>I struggle to see why Sergachev would sign that deal, even if the final year of the contract was $8M to set the floor for his next extension. I think even $6.75M is conservative for the quality of hockey he plays right now, and it seems unlikely (even in the old boys GM club) that Sergachev wouldn't have an offer sheet on his desk for $6.75M AAV or more, longer term.

$4.5M would be one of the most team-friendly deals in a long time. Maybe bump it to $5.33M AAV x 3 years, with the following structure:

Year 1: $5.0M
Year 2: $2.5M
Year 3: $8.5M (sets floor for next contract)

I could see this being interesting. Gives Serg 3 years with the core group largely intact. 3 good shots at another Cup(s) before more big changes are required.</div></div>

McAvoy took 4.9x3 in Boston and Werenski took 5.0x3 in Columbus, both are comparables and the cap was the exact same when they signed. And I'd argue that both those players are slightly better than Sergachev. I don't think this contract is that far fetched
