Thats a hell of a steal anyone whos seen dvorak plays and didn’t just stat check him knows this. Surprises me he didn’t go the bridge, show me what you worth way... he would had made alot more more. I guess he wanted security! Nothing wrong with that and it helps the team.
Always a risk with a player that hasn't broken out. However, it's a steal if he becomes what they think he will in a 50+ point forward with size. Seen several teams have offered more than 5 for similar forwards. Young defenseman signings seem to be in the 5+ range. So, this is about right for a high talent like Dvorak. Scouting reports were consistent that he had a tireless work ethic which would be a huge factor if I was to sign a player yet to break out to a long term contract at more money. Looks like a good gamble.
It's hilarious how everyone is praising this contract, but yet Skjei was an overpayment with a grand difference of $800k.
It's like HF sees the number 5
The psychological difference is substantial, even if the gap is not. Case in point, read the thread about Lindholm's contract demand at $5 mil(+); it's generally critical of the ask. Then go read the thread about him signing for $4.85 mil; there's a ton of praise.
There's a reason why the prices for many goods end in 9s.
I was joing to say, this is the Flyers RFA special!Reminds me 100% of JVR's deal when he signed it in 2012.
Jarnkrok too.

The cap will go up within the next five seasons (before Dvorak's big salary years kick in). Dvorak should (although sometimes it doesn't work out) get better. Even if Dvorak does not get better, he'll be a tradeable player five years from now for the Coyotes once they've farmed all his cheap RFA years.
