Seravalli: [SEA] Jamie Oleksiak signs with the Kraken (5 years)

[XX]

4.6m AAV??? That's insane.

Literally does not matter to a team that desperately needs D and has tons of cap space. Minor overpay and the cap world will be completely different in five years time if you even have to buy him out.

He was one of the top D available and they got it done.

Little pricey I’d say

And people said Heiskanen was overpaid, lol.

Nothing the Stars were gonna do but congrats to Jamie for cashing out after partnering with Heiskanen the past two seasons.

Love this for Seattle. Very solid. Would have loved this deal from my isles.

Really is Oleksiak that good? Isn't his playstyle already similar to Mayfield's, expect Mayfield has better passing while Oleksiak probably a better skater (both being good for big players)

I didn't realize/think Oleksiak is better than Larsson. He basically got a comparable deal to TJ brodie on the leafs who'd say is clearly the better player

Covid cap and all I was thinking something like 4 years 3M per year for Oleksiak. Was way off

Minor overpay? LOL.

Oleksiak is worth like 3 million max.
