Luke is a real good player. I think I’d take him over both his brothers. He’s going to have a monster year.

I share your belief this one is best of the three at the end of the day. They're all excellent.

I think of the impending Stenberg Situation too

[rangergiff]

I would do this all day long over giving Kaprizov 17 million a year. This seems a bargain in comparison.

+1.... and I'd take Boldy over Kaprizov; if I had to choose.

Get ready for the broberg numbers

I’m thinking we get Broberg for around 7 x $7.5 when he signs. And while they are at it, guessing Holloway gets something similar to McTavish/Johnston money, which would be in the $7m to $8.25m. Don’t see him exceeding Thomas or Kyrou.

That's the real pickle, though.

At 8.5m, that's too much of a bargain to be the Blues' ceiling at the rate the cap is growing. By the time our recent first rounders are all on their second contracts, 8.5m might well be the going rate - especially as more and more players are opting for longer term second deals and buying into their UFA periods.

Would Steen go 10Mx7 for Dvorsky, if he looks like a 60 pt, 2-way center? Would doing so upset the locker room?

Wow.

60 points gets 10 mil on futures?

I dunno.

I'd say he would get a bridge for less.

I’d guess that no, that wouldn’t upset the room but only because Dvorsky has 3 years left on his ELC and I’m guessing the Cap will be notably higher then. But it’s just a guess. Something better to revisit in a year or two.

Well that is apples to oranges, Hughes is 22 years old coming off his entry level deal with lots of team control and Kaprizov is 28 years old and was about to be a UFA with not team control.

Kaprizovs bridge deal was also 9 million

Holy [shirt]. 7.5 on potential I guess.
The guy looks to be a good one. But last I saw. 4.5 would be a over payment.
However. Since, Army did it. 7.5 might be about right for what we've seen.

I doubt broberg accepts 7.5 if they offered it. Especially if they wait till mid season or offseason and hes having a good year.

4.5 would be an overpayment... lolz

Oh, for sure it's a long way off. But at the rate the cap is growing and younger players are cashing in, it wouldn't surprise me a bit to see one of our current prospects reset the pay scale while barely even cementing their place in the top 6 or top 4. I would hope it wouldn't upset the room, but then I think back to Kyrou's deal...

Kaprizovs bridge deal was also 9 million

All I'm saying is that if he is worth 17 million a year then McDavid is worth 25 million. Mackinnon, Makar, Hughes, Kuch and Pasta are all gonna be north of 20 million. It's not sustainable is my point.

[callitwhatyouwant]

That's not how you should look at kaprizov vs Mcdavid tho. Hockey is messed up because the revenue isn't as cut and dry as the NFL and NBA. (not talking about MLB because that's a whole different mess)

Hockey at times underperforms immensely from a TV standpoint so there isn't a bonified bottom dollar that the league is working off of. I think it is getting better and if it wasn't for covid we might already have been there. But McDavid, Mackinnon, Kaprizov, Pasta, Drai, Makar, Matthews, Marner. Those guys should all be signing at the max deal, whatever that dollar amount is. But they aren't there as a league yet.
