That's assuming he keeps producing at the pace he's producing at. If his production falls off, even a little bit, no one is going to want to touch his contract. For every Patrick Kane out there, there's a Jeff Skinner.

Unless you have a crystal ball, you can't know ahead of time who is going to be full value or their contract vs who is going to fall off in the early or middle part of the contract.



Neither is, imo, signing him to 8 x $11.5.



In both '15-16 and '16-17, the Hawks had all three of Kane, Toews, and Panarin, yet got bounced in the 1st round both times.

We disagree.
