Hedman has one year left on his deal what are we looking a cap wise to sign him. Do you think he gets subban money 9 per year for 8 years ? As a Lightning fan what's the most you would pay him if you are yzerman?
callahan ?Please don't make Hedman captain. Enough of the star player captains.
callahan ?
He'll get at least Subban money. There'll be bumps in the road, and we'll probably complain about him from time to time, like any player with a big contract, but overall I think we'll be happy with it.
I don't think anyone would really be uncomfortable giving him 9 or even 10. Which really brings home just how crazy this Stamkos situation has become.
God no....... I mean... naw, leave him with the A. He should be doing a lot more if he wants the "C" buddies not performing the way he should for his cap hit.
I think 10 is too high, does any defensemen even make that much money, the highest paid defensemen have won cups or norris trophies that help boost their salary a bit, Hedman is fantastic but I doubt he gets that much, I expect 7-9, probably around 7.5 - 8.
There's always Shea Weber.
Hedman could get a Norris nomination this year. Even if he doesn't though, he's established himself in the top six or seven Dmen in the league. Given that it's been a couple of years now since the Subban contract, I would expect at least 9. 10 isn't out of the question.

Subban got $9 million because he's a high scoring defenseman. Hedman doesn't even approach his numbers. I doubt he surpasses Subban's contract, but general inflation might put him just behind.
Give him 8x8
