Florida has a pretty good structure, both Barkov and Huberdeau make 5.9
If Sam ended up around 4 ish over 3 years, a bit more or less depending how things go the rest of the year, that may be mutually palatable for both parties

Maybe I'm missing something but not sure what Derek Ryan has to do with anything. He was a UFA. Agreed his contract has been a solid signing by Treliving.
The Panthers need to be careful with Sam's contract, when you look at their structure every single forward is a RFA or UFA within the next 3 years. Barkov is a UFA after next season, Huberdeau a UFA the season after that. They will get big raises. I'd be very careful handing out a long term deal to Sam near the 4 mil mark because of a hot streak after being traded. Maybe they sign him to a short term deal around the 3 mark or less for him to prove himself, that's what I would do.
