[Signing] Sharks sign Evander Kane to extension (7 years, $7 million AAV)

[Oil Stain]

That guy has Pat Maroon making the same amounts as guys like Stastny, JVR, Zuker, Bill Karlsson.

I can't see anyone offering him over $5 million. Guess we will see.

For 2 years I think someone might. Short term high dollar contracts are reasonably easy to manage. Whereas a 5 year deal at 3.5 per year could be.

Although most players will take the longer term deal with the lower AAV.

We know that the Oilers would pay that much for Maroon, so there is at least one team.

They wouldn't have traded him if they were willing to pay that much.

After dumb-dumb up north gave McDavid's winger 8.5 I can see Stone getting 9 on a longer term contract, that said, Melnyk is extremely cheap so Stone might be available.

Thornton seems low for a 1 year deal.

Nylander better not get 7 million for a 5 year deal.
