Washington Capitals signed Nicklas Bäckström (5 Years / $9,200,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I'm ok with this signing. To me, it's easier to accept giving big money to players that have already done something as compared to the young up and coming players that haven't done anything yet. #1C on a Stanley Cup Winning Team means something. WAS got him to accept a 5 year contract when I'm sure he could have got an 8 year somewhere else. (Higher total dollars to him) I would have thought a little less than $9.2M, but not too much less.</div></div>
This type of thinking would be ok in a Non-cap league, but the reality is you have to pay for what you are going to get, not for what you got already. Younger players pushing to get closer to their actual value means it's not going to be a good decision to sign players based on their past achievements.

If William has another down year
I really wonder what people are going to say after Nylander rips it up this year. Probably 2 responses.
1) Its because of Matthews, without him he'd be a 40 point winger.

Thread:
Thought experiment - Why is it ok to overpay UFA's but not RFA's?
The real answer is "never" but we all know, the choice isn't always as easy as saying it. So lets dig deeper.
We all know their most productive years are generally behind them when they are UFA's (depends on age of when they sign but lets assume 28-29 is the avg age for UFA)
The assumption is that Marner is getting paid too much, right? (I agree btw) So assume he puts up 90 points every year until the end of his contract. Would he be worth the equivalent of his current over payment he is getting now when he is 29 on the open market? Wouldn't you want to pay the player for his potential not his past pedigree knowing that he probably won't be able to put up 90+ points every of his new contract? Of course, there is always the chance Marner is a 60 point guy the rest of his contract but in all realness, what are the odds he puts up less numbers from 23-29 than he would from 29-35?
How many UFA's who signed contracts that take them into their 30's are worth their contracts in those years? Ovechkin, Crosby, Kane, right? What about Kopitar? Getzlaf? Parise? How much of these guys current contracts have they been earning in their current contracts? 1-2 maybe a 3rd year? Take away the few outliers, the overwhelming rest start to be "not worth" their contract around 32 years old.
I understand this is the way things have been for the past whatever amount of years so we've been trained to laugh at the idea of paying a player asking for UFA money right away but doesn't it make sense (coming from a completely impartial spectator who values players negotiating rights and GM's ability to roster a competitive team equally) especially with players you are virtually certain are going to put up good numbers, to pay them when they are in their prime and NOT into their 30's? Does anyone seriously think Rantanen, Marner, Point are all going to return to the 60-70 point range and everything prior was a fluke?
Why would anyone want to pay Marner X% of cap at 29 but not at 22? Based purely on history, he should produce his best during the 22-28 years, not the 29-35 years. So what is it?
In a perfect world where players are paid on a yearly basis based solely on production that past year, wouldn't one assume the best years to feel like you have to pay a player a lot, would be the years when they are statistically going to be giving you the best years of their careers?
I think the NHL is changing its philosophy around player contracts. Moving away from the "past pedigree" contracts to the "future potential" contracts. I think the most undeniable thing about this is that it effects the newest wave of teams players like this the most and its what causes the riff with fans the most. They see Pastrnak signing for 6M and say "hey why not our guy too?".
Using players contracts from 2-4 years ago as comparison is no longer valid with players because the change to this mentality has been rather sudden. Pretty much the day Matthews signed his contract. It changed every other RFA's idea of their evaluation of contracts going forward. Anything before is slightly hard to compare against now in the future where as the previous change was stretched out over a longer period of time.
What I find confusing is based on the current mentality, Marner should have signed anywhere from 8.5-9.5M x 7-8 year contract, right. Then when he becomes a UFA at 28-29 he would be able to get that even bigger contract on the open market. Except, who here wants to sign Marner when he is 29 based on the 7-8 past years of 90+ points? Not the Leafs probably, right? I can already hear Leafs fans saying let him go to free agency where someone will be stupid enough to pay him his big contract. So.... Leafs are stupid for paying Marner now but whoever pays for him in the future is just as stupid? Its never a time to pay a player essentially.

When the best first line in the league is your second line, it's looking pretty good.

If this team doesn't make the playoffs or even win the cup, the coach should be fired and left in the other team's city (Gallant Style)

Spin off pt 2
I wonder how many players will have to be signed to long term deals that will look bad once they start aging before people will learn that giving term to guys leaving their 20's is almost always a terrible idea. Barrie and Muzzin are going to get big contracts somewhere, especially Barrie but it won't be with TO for that term. Dubas knows the chances these will turn sour are very high.

Taylor Hall
Okay this has to stop, this only serves to shave off 4 years of contention for the Leafs. Hall is a great player but he's had a lot of injuries and his style of play will wear him out much faster than someone like Marner. Also Hall will be looking for a long term mega deal that will start when he is about to turn 29, he isn't in his prime, he is leaving his prime. If you are okay with paying Hall 10 million, then you should have a problem paying Marner that much.
It never ceases to amaze me how everyone ignores that players decline in their early 30's and Hall will be in his early 30's 2 years into his next contract that will pay for what he did in his prime years.
STOP TRADING FOR HALL
