7 years is crazy term for him but it could pay off big time if he improves

[Future]

I mean I guess that's the right number for a ~10-goal, ~30-point player, but good golly.

It's just a lot of years to give to a role player, but he did this with Jarnkrok, and that worked out, so maybe it'll repeat here?

[BlairBettsBlocksEverything]

these are the kind of deals that could pay off big time if they can manage to increase their role. They also won't be the worst if you need to find a way to move that contract. Sissons can likely be a pretty effective NHLer for at least 4 of those 7 years and any time after that is a very buyout-able deal if need be/if he needs to be traded, someone would take him to fill out a 4th line

interesting. why lock up a role player for so long? do they really value his role playing ability that no one else couldn't duplicate?

Hey, that was a good month you had there in November, here's a 7 year deal.

I would normally agree with that but at the end of the day, if you know you have something that works why risk losing it? 7 years is a bit extreme though. I'm sure they could've done a 4-5 year deal and it'd be better but hey, they like what they have, think he might eventually be worth a lot more and the security of having that locked down at a pretty reasonable salary isn't the worst thing in the world

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

Is this the cheapest 7 year deal in NHL history? Cant think of anyone signing for 7 years and under 3m aav.

imagine if this guy breaks out and scores 30 goals. HIs agent would hang himself
