Interesting projections for Eat Bread as well.
Then there's the UFAs everyone's watching...
In other yrs, this site has been pretty accurate, but even they've admittedly surprised by some of the contracts this yr.

I still think 8 years is going to be $11 mil or right around there.
As soon as they introduced max term on contracts it creates turnover for teams. The NHL isn't like the NBA yet but max term is 7 and 8 years but GM's need to get that sometimes this is how it's going to be and they need to accept that sometime you might lose 2 stars in 1 off-season.
But this won't be the last time we see this happen to a team. Stock pile assets this year, trade Tkachuk and build for a year or 2 and then be like the Sens and take guys from other teams that are looking to sell a couple of off seasons from now. Players aren't loyal so why should the team be?
