Confirmed Signing with Link: [ARI] F Matias Maccelli re-signs with the Coyotes (3 years, $3.425M AAV)

[PullHard]

I'm a Maccelli fan boy and I hope he gets paid a lot tbh

 

[crowi]

He, and others like Keller get undervalued on hf. He is very legit.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

How close is nearing an extension?

An hour. A day. A week. A month.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Maccelli is 22 years old. A three year deal leaves the club with two years of RFA remaining, A five year deal would take Maccelli to UFA.

But now Arizona will have to trade him two years instead of four!

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

guessing 3x3.5

Remember a lot of people being high on maccelli as a prospect before he emerged

Really fun player to watch, if that D can pull together AZ is going to be very very annoying

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Maccelli is a flawed player great playmaker but he needs to learn how to shot the puck more frequently

 

[SR]

Thanks a lot, Bettman.

TF bettman have to do with this?

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Good deal, he will outperform it.

I really am puzzled by NHL GM's and agents work schedules. Very little happened during the last week, yet a flurry of signings this weekend, lol.

WHY?

2 hours. They're slow up there with their faxes.

Too hot out?

Maybe the RFA dates being finalized pushed some agents and teams to start working on these deals.

Agreed that Maccelli will outperform this deal. Look fantastic with McBain and Crouse down the stretch.

 

[Dead Coyote]

Fantastic deal for not quite 3.4. Honestly could have seen other teams giving him 5 or 6.

 

[LOFIN]

Would have been nice to see an 8yr deal here but I understand why a 3 year was done. I'm okay with it too. If it's a bridge I think it'll look really good by the end of it.

The only way it would've been 8years is if Arizona was going to pay him north of 8m dollars.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Hope he got an ASU lanyard and some Sun Devils beer cozys because he'll be over performing that contract by quite a lot.

 

[gritdash60]

This kid is a budget Patrick Kane, anyone who has watched him will know what i mean, he just has that swagger while holding the puck. Wouldn't be surprised if he is a PPG player before that contract ends.

Edit: Back when he was playing in Finland he was my favorite player because he's got that mini-Kane look to him, ofcourse he played for the wrong team in my city so i couldn't say it out loud.

 

[Schemp]

Yeah right,LOL, more like 8 x 4.5 - 5M.

 

[LOFIN]

Yeah right,LOL, more like 8 x 4.5 - 5M.

With his stats? Because he's older, he had a shorter ELC. But his rookie campaign was better than William Nylander, who got 6x7mil and that was 5 years ago when cap was lower.

Obviously, Arizona wouldn't do that because they want to see Maccelli repeat this for multiple times before committing big money. And Maccelli nor his agent are stupid enough they would take 8x4,5, when we his ceiling is probably somewhere around 8-9mil. He was that good.

That would have been a Chayka-type deal.

... and why they did a bridge deal. What I put up there was the most likely offered by the Coyotes.

 

[Lempo]

Great point. That’s way to risky. 4 would have been ideal.

His SPC expiring a year short of UFA eligibility would mean he could choose to take his QO and limp into UFA. It's not an ideal position to negotiate an expansion with him. With this contract his QO will be $4.11M, I think (assuming there's no signing bonus in the final year).

 

[LOFIN]

We are not in a disagreement. I just put up what Maccelli and his agent should counter if Arizona said they wanted 8 years.

He had a phenomenal last year, if he keeps it up during these 3 years he's in for a big payday. Cap is probably around or over 100mil by then.

I expect him to start shooting more, but there was no way Armstrong would have even considered that. He is not known for long term contracts (since I said that, he'll probably get McBain to sign an 8 year contract).

I doubt that.

 

[biturbo19]

Weird deal. It's either going to be a steal, or it'll be one of those contracts that you kinda wonder...why? Personally, i've like Macelli a ton since he was a prospect, so i lean toward it being a steal. But it creates a really awkward situation a few years from now, when he's going to probably be asking for the moon on his next contract. But i guess Arizona aren't really worried about thinking that far ahead. They're just trying to survive right now.

Bill Armstrong prefers short deals in large part because it keeps players motivated to prove themselves and earn more. If Maccelli is asking for the moon in a few years, it's because he's become a star. That's good for the player and good for the team.
