1st contracts post ELC

[BaseballCoach]

I was thinking this morning about how clubs are managing their 2nd contracts with promising players, and was a bit shocked to see what Ottawa did for Chabot, who is signing his extension almost one year early.

So here is my question:

What would you offer Victor Mete in AAV if you had to offer an 8-year extension starting next September? I don't think we have anyone else in that category, i.e. a guy with NHL experience and starting his 3rd year pro. Noah Juulsen has the injury issue, and neither Evans nor Vejdemo have NHL experience, nor even two years pro. They would never get a long extension.

So, Victor Mete - 8 years, how much?

If I'm being honest, I wouldn't sign Mete for 8 years.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Mete hasn't proved that he's worth locking up for 8 years at all; he'll certainly sign a 1-2 year bridge contract.

 

[JSR 56]

a million for every goal

Mete himself will refuse a 8 year contract.

But hey, if we can lock him to for a 2.25M deal for 8 years, sure. That just won't happen.

Mete didn't earned a 8 years deal and Mete doesn't want a 8 years deal either at this point.

Those kind of deals are only for franchise players

For 8 years I would go up to 4 million aav right now. At worst it's a bit pricey for a 5, at best it's a steal for a 2.

You’d only really do that with a star/budding superstar. This is more relevant to KK next summer if he has a crazy yr like Chabot did - ie 70+ pt season.

If Mete has a good yr and further establishes himself as a good partner for Weber and a top 4 guy I’d look to give him a 5 yr deal around $3.5m

 

[DangerDave]

I doubt he'd go for 8 years but if he does that would be pretty nice. Pretty sure we could snag him for like 3.5M.

If I'm being honest, I wouldn't sign Mete for 8 years.

I also would not, but I would not have done 8 years for Chabot either based on a stretch of 60 good games in his 21 year old year.

So I thought it would be a fun exercise. Personally, if I HAD TO give Mete 8 years, or have to trade him, which I know is not the real choice, I would offer about $2.75M.

Too early yet for me to sign Mete for 8 years. May work out but when Weber was out he was a fringe NHL d-man. Just see no need to rush
