Confirmed Signing with Link: [CAR] Hurricanes extend Teravainen (5 years, $5.4M AAV)

[Svechnicanes]

Worth noting that cost of living is much cheaper down here! Glad to see TT locked up. Hoping this is the first in a string of contract updates. Seabass !

This seems like a, I don’t know, ridiculously low cap number for a legit 1st line forward.

Yep, it feels like Tomas Tatar contract comparable, but Tatar was 0.51 points per game player at Detroit and Teräväinen is 0.79 points per game player from his last 2 seasons.

How does Carolina keep getting their guys signed to good deals? It's pretty damn impressive. Slavin and Pesce are also fantastic deals.

Teams, just on the upswing to greatness seem to be the teams that get the those great contracts signed. Being in that position for years has helped them contractually.

The team promises to give them unlimited Carolina BBQ, Bojangles, and Cookout after they retire.

All the previous deals were done under the Francis regime. This is the first major extension worked out under new ownership, under which there were rumors of trouble during the Lindholm and Hanifin negotiations. And we know how those turned out... needless to say, this extension can put canes fans a bit more at ease.

It's good to see this happen with the new brain trust, as Slavin and Pesce were extended under Karmanos and Francis.

But it's not a consistent pattern in Carolina: you also have Lindholm and Hanifin who either wouldn't sign to a good deal or the GM Borg decided weren't worth their market value, so the deal with Calgary happened.

The Canes are going to truck in Smithfield’s Pulled Pork sandwiches daily for length of contract.

We're always a team that "looks to be taking the next step" (whether that's true or not) and players often want to be a part of that.

Plus, Raleigh's a great place to live. Good weather, fans and media don't really hassle the players, etc.

 

[CupsOverCash]

This could be a steal for them. May already be.

 

[BonMorrison]

Great deal.

 

[TheCLAM]

Nice deal considering inflation and Seattle expansion pushing up the cap.. this could be a steal in a couple years if he keeps up current trajectory.

 

[Maukkis]

Why does this look so great for Carolina?

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Why does this look so great for Carolina?

The Nylander effect. Teravainen produces like Nylander, but signed for about $1.6 mil per less. Yes, Nylander is younger and has higher potential, but Teravainen was closer to free agency coming off a bridge contract. They're comparable enough.

 

[FerrisRox]

That's a terrific deal. I actually like Teravainen's overall game better than Nylander's and they are getting him considerably cheaper.

 

[Lempo]

2 RFA years
3 UFA years

He has been 5 seasons in NHL, and everybody will be UFA after 7 seasons.

If I would guess:

4.4M - RFA year
4.7M - RFA year
5.7M - UFA year
6.0M - UFA year
6.2M - UFA year
-----------------
5.4M average

Two UFA years. 2014-15 had only 34 Regular Season games, 40 are needed for an Accrued Season for UFA purposes.

2 years older and 1.5 years of similar production in addition to 1 year of term fewer. You could easily see the difference in value.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

The term is great for the Canes .. not sure why TT would not want more term.

 

[DaveG]

1 extension down, 2 more to go

 

[jfhabs]

Good deal!

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

2 years older and 1.5 years of similar production in addition to 1 year of term fewer. You could easily see the difference in value.

And Teravainen signed coming off a bridge contract, whereas Nylander signed after an ELC. That negates some of those factors.

Not to say Nylander is overpaid. I think Teravainen took a healthy discount.

 

[Henkka]

How about 34+18 playoff games.

 

[PB37]

Fair deal. Could be a steal depending on how TT progresses in the next couple of years.

 

[SaskCanesFan]

My gut just tells me this guy will score a very rad OT winner in the playoffs within the next 5 years.

Someone save this quote and show me it when it happens.

Which team is he getting traded to?

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I think it's a fair contract for both sides. He's a complimentary player and it's not a coincidence once Aho got comfortable in the league TT's been a 60 point guy. If you put him on a 2nd line on a contender, playing closer to 16 minutes than the ~18 he's getting now, he's probably more like a 50 point winger. For example Bolts gave JT Miller 5.25x 5 and i think that's a pretty good comparable.

Good for TT to get paid and good for the Canes not to overpay just because they're short on wingers.
