It is great to get another value contract on the books.
I look at 2028/29 as a critical year contract wise. Hopefully we are going to be handing out some big contracts 2027-2029, plus we will hopefully be ready to start adding to the team. Current contracts:
Good Value- Wolf (7.5 2032/33)
- Coronoto (6.5 2031/32)
- Weegar (6.3 2030/31)
Average Value- Kadri (7 2028/29)
- Pospisil (2.5 2028/29)
Poor Value- Huberdeau (10.5 2030/31)
- Sharangovich (5.8 2029/30)
- Bahl (5.4 2030/31)
Assuming the cap doesn't drop and stays around 114 million then we are about 45% of the cap for 2028/29. That leaves us about 4.2 million per player for the remaining roster. That is only a bit under the average of 5 million, but we still need to pay our future top players.
Contracts like the Coronato and Wolf contracts help balance the Huberdeau contract. But Conroy is going to have to be selective in who he gives term to going forward. No offense to guys like Bahl and Sharangovich, but those aren't the types of players we should be giving long term contracts to.
