I mean all three other leagues are more popular than hockey and make much more $$$$
Mr.Walsh
No salary cap less teams less players.
Pick your poison.

Not to mention an NBA roster has what? 12 guys on it? Of course the high end guys will make a crap ton more.I find it absolutely shocking that an agent doesn't think his clients are paid enough.

As for the escrow thing, isn’t it mildly disingenuous for the players to complain about that at all? It’s basically their doing no?
Yikes
God I hope not
I'd tell DeBrusk to take a hike if he wanted $7 milMe too, but if Debrusk scores 25-30 next year and 50+ points (very possible), then I’d imagine that he and his agent would look to Keller’s contract a as model for a long-term signing.

Some AAV's for players similar but not as good as DeBrusk (IMO)I'd tell DeBrusk to take a hike if he wanted $7 mil
He's going to have to be more consistent for me to even consider a $7mil contract.Some AAV's for players similar but not as good as DeBrusk (IMO)
Nik Ehlers 6m aav
Colin White 94 games 47 points 4.75 aav
Ondrej Palat averages 35 points a year 5.3 aav
Jason Zucker averages 45 points last 4 seasons 5.5 aav
Timo Meier is probably one of the best comparable to DeBrusk 6 aav.
Salaries are just going to keep going up, if they want to "buy" years of UFA from DeBrusk it is going to cost them. Be curious to see what Tkachuk gets this off season, if I was DeBrsuk's agent I would use Tkachuk, Meier, Keller as my comparables.
DeBrusk gets 30G/25A he will get over 7M.

Took him 8 years to finally get $7 mil.And people complain about Krejci's 7 mil contract putting up 70+ points.
Took him 8 years to finally get $7 mil.
I'm not giving DeBrusk that kind of cash after 3 seasons

A few years perhaps but next year, not at all.Different salary structures nowadays, but I am with you. Jake isn't worth $7m now and may never be. Then again, if the cap keeps rising, 7 mil might be todays 4 mil in a few years
I'm not that cheap hahaHarry? is that you?
I happen to agree, that Keller deal is stupid..
A few years perhaps but next year, not at all.
No way should DeBrusk make more than Marchy or Pasta
Except the NHL didn't create the Marchand oneThat's actually smart of the NHL which typically sucks at marketing its players and the game. I'd like to see more attention paid to the characters of the game and Marchand is one of the biggest. Too much vanilla, old-time (Eddie Shore, Toe Blake) hockey values.
