18. Leon Draisait 8.5
19. Sebastian Aho 8.5
20. Roope Hintz 8.4
All of those deals signed with what will be a lower cap than the next one.
Since coming to Calgary only 9 of those guys have out produced him.
Now add in his defensive acumen.
No way he wont get at least 9M on the open market IMO. Its just a matter of term after that and Im guessing many wouldnt blink at 7 years.
Its the cost of doing business in the NHL now.
