Confirmed Signing with Link: [OTT] F Tim Stützle signs extension with the Senators (8 years, $8.35M AAV)

[Canadienna]

Since I called him out in the other thread I'll say something nice here.

I think this is a steal of a contract. He's real good. Plays with an edge, and has a two way game as well.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Im really trying to figure out how he deserves more than Jack Hughes, or Norris getting almost as much

Owner passes away and now the Senators just sign anyone to anything, huh?

Because he's f***ing awesome?

Because he's better than Hughes was when he signed his contract?

Yeah he’s feisty but if I was nit picking his defensive decisions and puck management are questionable at this stage.

Something he’ll overcome I’m sure of it but for now I wouldn’t say he has a strong two way game.

He definitely needs to learn when to hold on to the puck. Still trying to carry it when he's double teamed. He will figure it out, this is the first season he's starting not as a teenager. And I think he will eventually be a decent 2 way player, but he is not right now. The effort is there and that's promising

Already looking like a fantastic contract, and it hasn’t even started yet

Let’s assume Jimmy finishes the season at a point per game pace.

Do you think he gets more than 8.3 if he signs this summer?

Stutzle and Thompsons contract are stupidly steals.

Ottawa hit it out of the park with the Tkachuk, Batherson, and Stutzle deals.

I certainly won’t say “hit it out of the park” on Norris, especially because we have a top 5 PP without him… but he’s also a really damn good young player. I can’t see a world in which he’s less than a 30ish goal, 60ish point, all around C. Losing him was huge, he has been so central to any success we’d had.

Just wanted to give the J-man some love, as I can tell you us Sens fans miss him a ton, and not just as our 5th or 6th forward. He is a guy who could lead our forwards in TOI many, many night, and really bolster our ES scoring.

not really.

the contract has 4 team control years

someone above reference tage thompson being a steal. the contract he signed was after his ELC and 3 yrs into a 3 yr bridge with 1 yr of team control and 6 UFA years.

Norris wasn't mentioned in the quote you are replying to?

I know, I was just saying Norris shouldn’t be forgotten.

He hasn’t played enough to change views on his deal, but had he been healthy all year, I am pretty sure he would have.

As many have said, this contract is already a solid one and hasn't even kicked in yet.

Here's a list of the players with the most points as a 20 year old (from their 20th birthday to their 21st) since 2005. Stutzle will get quite a few more games than everyone on the list since the sens had to cram 50 games between the middle of Jan and end of April this year due to COVID so he still has 4 games before he turns 21... But the names on this list are almost all superstars and all would get over 8M if they were in 20 years old in 2023.

Yup, way too many fans don't understand the RFA/UFA years of purchase. Or they keep forgetting.

Brilliant post.

He's a top 5 C in the making. He isn't even mature yet physically--which is a big part of his game. Will be an absolute 2 way monster.

Not sure about top 5 in a league with McDavid, Matthews, Drai, Mackinnon, Hughes, soon-to-be-Bedard, Eichel, Thompson, Barkov, and a few other guys with at least 6 or 7 good years ahead of them… but he certainly has the ability to flirt with it, and have seasons where he’s in that area.

 

[haulinbass]

They definitely have done well with their contracts. They have a deep top six with in my opinion the ideal level of talent that alowed for them to get their guys signed at the right price.

Now they just need to bring in the right depth throughout the bottom of the lineup. Going to be a strong team for a long time if they can do that.

 

[Eggtimer]

Looks like it will be a good deal for the Sens . However some expectations are a tad high mere suggesting he will be a top 5 C , and showing production from age 20-21 compared to the high end elite players in the league. Production and development is not linear or he will be lookig like an undisputed top 5 player I. The league right now or close to it . And he does not .
Is he good ? Hell yes ! However he is not at the level (yet) where he can dominate games on his own and single handedly win games with his ability. Maybe he gets there but so far he is not.

A lot of them would've been able to get $8M contracts at that age, but a lot of these guys took pretty significant discounts for their first contracts (sometimes even second ones) to stay with the team they wanted to be on.

That said, this is exactly the contract he's earned, not a penny more, so both sides should be very happy.

I'd put him slightly below Eichel, so more like a "top 13 C," something like that.

He's 20. Let's see where he's at in 3 years

He's absolutely on this level. Kid's on his way to stardom.

And I sleep better this year.
