Around the League 2019-2026 Edition

Feels like teams are tying nooses around their own necks by throwing big money around to guys who haven't proven shit yet.

If I'm Nicky Robertson, I'm watching this and going what the fuck, where was my payday, and I need to have it now. Seriously, what's his fair price now, $4M or more?
 
Zach Benson before he signed his 7.5 x 7 extension:

20 yrs - 2.15 P/60


Matthew Kniews before he signed his 7.75 x 6 extension

22 yrs - 1.93 P/60
Knies graduated into a 30 goal and 60 point guy when he signed it, even if age and p/60 aren't as favorable.

Benson just set a career high in goals with...13. I don't think I'm paying him $8M just yet.

You can wait and then pay him 11 million after he puts up 70-80 points next year.

The Knies deal has turned out to be a great deal, and this deal will turn out to be a great deal. Benson is good. I don't give Buffalo credit often, but this is smart business.

They have faith…. Projection is part of the job. Some folks grumbled that Slaf didn’t do enough to get his big contract… then he put up 30 goals and 70 pts
