Mario Ferraro is now counting his millions.
Mario isnt offensive so we are safe. All these D are the ones with good point totalsIt's funny, when the Seth Jones deal was signed, one of the first few posts was from an Oilers fan saying something like "Darnell, look away!!" and all I'm saying to myself right now is "oh noes, Mario look away!!"
9 days until Robinson becomes UFA?
Mario might make Pelech money some day but he's got a ways to goMario isnt offensive so we are safe. All these D are the ones with good point totals
Mario might make Pelech money some day but he's got a ways to go
How so? Mario already plays more minutes than Pelech, scored more points than Pelech, takes more def zone starts than Pelech etc
Am I saying Ferraro will for sure get Pelech money on his next contract, No mostly because of his age I suspect, but not sure what makes Mario "a ways" away from Pelech.
With all due respect to Ferraro, Pelech was in the Norris discussion this season. Ferraro is quite a ways away from where Pelech is.
In the discussion? He had a single 5th place vote, seems like that discussion was pretty short, or propagated by NYI homers or something, because he clearly was not even remotely close to winning a Norris.
Also Ferraro has one more year to earn his contract, and while his stats are not on par yet with Pelech, they are not TOO far off. An improved team, goaltending, hopefully redesigned defensive system etc, paired with any growth from Ferraro himself, and Pelech money is not an insane possibility.
Especially if Ferraro can boost his offense numbers this year, assuming our team is not bottom 6 in GF this year again. Obviously if the whole teams sucks ass again, he probably suffers for it with his next contract, which is honestly a good thing, because with all the 2 years deals given out this summer, I have no idea how we are going to sign our players next year if things improve this year.
No shot. The Marino deal is probably the ceiling for a Ferraro deal. Marino signed a 6 year $4.4 million a year deal coming off his rookie deal.If Mario takes another step this year I foresee a 6 year, 40-42 million dollar deal.
Yea the only way Ferraro is breaking $5m a year is if he starts bringing some serious offensive firepower. Love the guy, but he's just not someone that plays a style that nets a big paycheck.No shot.

Ferraro is probably the only guy I’m comfortable going long-term with given his attitude and work ethic (to go along with being young).

How high are you guys willing to go for Hertl, and at what point do you pass and trade him?

Maybe some day but he's gonna need to develop a lot offensively. I don't think there's a lot of creativity or deception in his offensive game right now
9 years!?!??!
unless he magically puts up a 90+ point season, anything more than 5Yx7M for Hertl is an overpayment.
