You know, when you read the headline "Devils closing in on 7 year deal with H", and you see it finish with "ischier", and then you see that number.....

Quite a gamble.

Please God let them do this...

Put it this way, I'd say the chances five years from now of him being worth $5 million a year are considerably greater than the chances of him being worth $10 million a year. So the chances of him being a good but clearly overpriced player are considerably higher than the chances of him being a major star bargain.

Yea, basically how I feel.

 

$7.25 is a number that protects you from having to give him $11 or whatever....but I don't think Hischier has shown much to suggest he's going to get to that point.

I think at worst he’s a decent top 6 guy for most of that term, so it’s unlikely to be a total disaster. But that deal is unlikely to have significant upside either.

Shero could be a genius if Hischier starts putting up around 70 points, which is not unrealistic for him. this is only his third year

Reading the pointy forums, a lot of NJD fans are happy with this deal, despite its risk.

why is there a risk?

Wonder if in Shero and NJD management's minds this their move to soften the blow when they trade or don't sign Taylor Hall to a max money deal.
