Future Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Basically Skjei's next contract... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I wonder if they'd lock him up for 7 years. He's shown no reason not to, but that shit still scares me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 If Skjei has equally as good a year next season, I'd be fine mirroring this deal. Sign him from 23-30 at $4.5M. It'll be incredible value at the peak of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be incredible value at the peak of his career. It'd be like having two Ryan McDonaghs. Talking about Skjei? Do it. I was yeah. I forget he's considerably younger than G or Staal and would be getting a contract...at 24, not 29 or 30. hahaha. Jesus christ, yes, lock him up for 7 years. Shit, give him 8! Or can that only be done to UFAs, not RFAs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Iirc you can only sign your own player to 8 years. I am unsure if it matters if they are restricted or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Basically Skjei's next contract... 100%. They've got a year to work with (though he could technically sign July 1st). The problem with waiting is—and let's be real, this is entirely plausible—what if he puts up 50+ points next season? I'd argue he's looking at closer to $5M per season at that rate. It's why I'm a big fan of investing early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with Skjei, who will likely be 24 by the time they talk long-term extension, anything greater than three years buys UFA years, which is why the price goes up.
