As usual, you continue to misunderstand the importance of age as it factors into NHL contract negotiations.

The Caps are paying 4 forwards $29.8M. I mean, they're really good forwards, but wow.
And the next 2 cost another $8M... $37.8M for 6 guys.

One would have to think that this establishes a floor for Draisaitl's deal, and practicality guarantees a +$8.0 m cap hit.

7-8 roster spots with <$5M in cap space, that's going to be tough. Something has to give there I think.

you'd have to think that Draistl is going to be a 9-9.5 million dollar player then, or close to it... if kuznetsov is getting 7.8

Wonder if we can steal Burakovsky or JOHANSSON?

Because the roster is set and it looks like it could be good enough to contend for a Championship in the next few seasons. Even better is that the current group is also cost controlled for at least three years.

And it's delightful thinking about how the Oilers are going to be in that neighbourhood for three players soon (McDavid, Draisaitl and Lucic).

I think it's cool that Monahan has twice as many goals as Kuznetsov and is 3 years younger and costs much less on the cap.

A PPG 1C who has yet to score a point-per-game and isn't his team's best centre...

If that ain't homerism, I don't know what is.

Maybe. But Bennett is realistically in a very different category than any of the RFAs who have re-signed with their current teams.
This raises the question of who would be a good RFA comparable player to Bennett in his next contract negotiation?
Players like Nick Bjugstad and Vincent Trochek from Florida, or Alex Galchenyuk from Montreal all had more productive years than Bennett when they signed their $3–4 m bridge deals. Kyle Turris signed his second two-year deal coming off a 25 point season, and it was for only $1.4 m. I think Bennett is likely faced with the reality that he will need to take less than a lot of his peers and on a shorter term in hopes that he can earn a bigger payday like some of these players on his next contract.

That's very true, I am curious what kind of term he will get.
