6 years and aav of $5.9 million.
Taken the year before Alex. Still, a contemporary. Two straight 50 point seasons. 20 goals and 59 points in 15-16. More points for Huby, but Alex is the goal scorer. Monahan signed earlier in the Summer. Berg should be locking this down asap.

Like you say blny, comparable cases, even with Galchenyuk being more sniper and Huberdeau more playmaker.
Bergevin should fall in line with trend of locking down young top tier core pieces.
Unfortunately it will not be same amount since tax differential between Canada/Quebec and U.S./Florida for an individual earning 5.9 million usd would be approximately 800 thousand usd annually. For me 6.3 aav is more realistic.

Unfortunately it will not be same amount since tax differential between Canada/Quebec and U.S./Florida for an individual earning 5.9 million usd would be approximately 800 thousand usd annually. For me 6.3 aav is more realistic. I agree, the only way to get the player to agree to a sub $6 million aav is give him the years he wants. By that, I mean determining Alex's priorities. Does he want a contract that takes up some of his UFA years or not? Negotiating with the term as the priority might get the aav down. Concede to the player's desire for term (either way), and perhaps you get a concession on aav. Monahan's 7 year extension in Calgary is for an aav of $6.375 million. He's got a modified ntc in the final 3 years of the deal. Sean's had two 60 point seasons to go with 31 and 27 goals in the last two years. If my understanding of the 27 or 7 rule for UFA status is correct, he'd have his seven years in after the 4th year of his new deal and when the ntc kicks in. He'll be 25, turning 26 in October of 2020. Galchenyuk's bridge deal means that, when it ends next summer, he'll only be 2 years away from being a UFA. He could very well be in a position to hold the team over the coals. I think he's in a scenario where he'd be less inclined to lock in for a max term (or close to) deal. Why sign a 7 or 8 year deal? One, they traded PK after doing it and at the last possible moment before not being able to. Two, if I keep producing 30 and 30, in two years as a ufa my value could be a lot more than what I might lock in for now. For Montreal to buy up as many UFA years as the Flames have with Monahan, they'd be signing Alex to a 5 year contract. If Alex is willing to sign long term, I think that's the term we'll see. 5 years, and somewhere between $30-32 million. |
