Concussion was a big deal when Nylander got 1 and missed 0 games.Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 7:45 pm All this concussion talk... phhtt... Skinner has missed a grand total of 3 games in the last 4 seasons.
(Matthews has missed 34 games over the past 3 seasons)
And all this 63 points is his highest point total talk... $11.634M Matthews highest point total is 73 points.
But Skinner won't be getting better. He will be getting worse. Marner and Matthews and Nylander are getting better.Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 7:43 pmWell if the cap is going up, Skinner's contract will look better and better

If Skinner will get worse because of age, so too will Tavares (same age, both will be 34 at the end).BigTuna wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 8:14 pmBut Skinner won't be getting better.

Matthews leads the entire NHL BY FAR in 5 on 5 goals since he entered the NHL and gets less TOI than anyone below him. Goals are a premium. Matthews is the best pure goal scorer since Ovechkin.Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 7:45 pm All this concussion talk... phhtt...

Oh what you are saying is, they will be expensive in 5 years. Thanks. I'll worry about that in 2024.Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 8:25 pmIf Skinner will get worse because of age, so too will Tavares (same age, both will be 34 at the end).BigTuna wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 8:14 pmBut Skinner won't be getting better.

Nylander appears to be getting worse (probably the two concussions he's suffered).
If those 3 get better they'll cash in even bigger in 5 years time.
And the 8-year contracts they sign in 5 years time will take them to age 34.

I predict he will lead Salutegate Part Deux within a few years
... due to Leafers running his buddies Marleau and Zaitsev outta town.
Then he'll Leave for the desert for his 8 year contract.
LOL at your chart showing $9M x 8 Skinner right up there with $11.634M x 5 Matthews.
I'd say on any contract. But in Marner's case yes, 8 years. Remember, he's a hometown kid who wants to be there long term if he can.Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 8:07 pmOn an 8 year contract?
Remember, he'll prolly sign a 5 year contract so Leaves can keep the AAV down (like Matthews and Nylander).
Will Arizona make the playoffs in the next 5 years? Will they stop losing 50 million per year/Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 8:35 pm Matthews has missed 34 games to injury in the last 2 seasons

8 year contract for RFas might be done.Mëds wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 8:58 pmI'd say on any contract. But in Marner's case yes, 8 years. Remember, he's a hometown kid who wants to be there long term if he can.Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 8:07 pmOn an 8 year contract?

By right up there you mean less goal with over 500 more minutes?Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 8:35 pm Matthews has missed 34 games to injury in the last 2 seasons
