Have you seen the way contracts are going? Seattle in an expansion means the cap goes up more which means the contracts are going to continue to baloon.
Confirmed with Link: Coyotes sign Jakob Chychrun to 6 year Extension ($4.6M AAV)
- Thread starter Mosby
- Start date
3 were signed this season. Make the case for Chychrun to be in with Doughty, OEL, and Carlson??
Very similar to the Shea Theodore deal.

He is nowhere near tgat group and tge next group are guys like Schmidt, Ellis, and Dumba. He Isn't in that conversation either.

Owns the Yotes
Couple minor differences, Theodore coming off a 29 point season and playing 1st pairing minutes. Chychrun barely over that in 2 seasons and playing 3rd pairing minutes. Coyotes jumped the gun again.
Huh? Theodore played 20:21 last season. Chychrun played 20:15. Six seconds. Theo got 15 more points, but he also played on a team that went to the SCF.
Chychrun played 5th on Coyotes, Theodore played 2nd on Knights. He's doing it again this year.
Doesn't that just speak to the Coyotes depth? He's playing behind OEL and Goligoski after all.
He's going to playing second pairing minutes as soon as next season. Depends on when Goligoski is eventually traded.
Then bridge him and let him prove he can do it. He has done nothing yet to prove he is worth either of the amount or the term of this contract. A bridge at $3 million for a couple seasons is what an RFA contract for this player should look like.

Perlini would be a better candidate for a bridge deal, if not traded all together. I'd hate to lock in Perlini long term at this point.

I take Theodore over Chych any day of the week.
Mainly because Theodore isn't coming off major knee reconstruction, on BOTH KNEES

This is what happens when you have a rookie GM and rookie owner. In the case of DVO and Chych they are overpaying with too much term. Neither has proven enough to get these contracts. If it works out for the Coyotes, they are lucky. Murphy was the same type of signing, too much term and money.
There is no need to guess, let them prove it first then pay them. I would have waited another year, let them prove it this year first, then sign them next summer. We have 2 injured players that are nor proven signed to long term deals. This is guess work because we don't know what we have (yet).

This contract completely depends on how his knees hold up. If he can get though these 6 years without a major issue, I think it’s a great signing and Chychrun’s surgeon should get a couple million from the Yotes as well.
You've misread that quote entirely. Re: Vrbata, if you expected him to only score 20 goals, you wouldn't pay him for 35. That's it. It means not trading on past performance when that performance is unlikely to occur again.

People are after Chayka for THIS? Of all things? Not about being so incredibly stupid as to trade Max Domi? But about signing a great young defenseman to a team friendly deal for a long term? Forget about throwing in the towel on a player like Max, though? Can we not be mad about keeping our great young players and instead be mad about not keeping them? Please?

I think people love the idea of it, but question the timing. I don't think anybody is unhappy with Chychrun sticking around for another 6 years, just weary of Coyote luck. I am happy, my first reaction was very positive. I agree with the idea that it is about 300-600k higher than I would want right now, but that's nothing to lose sleep about and it will be absolutely brilliant if he remains healthy over the years. He's a stud of a hockey player.

I never agree with Jamie. Ever.
But I have to agree here. This could be a great contract. No doubt. I hope it is.
That said if Chych blows out a knee again we are in for a world of hurt

I sure hope the Coyote's aren't giving Nylander the contract he wants or there might be even more questioning.Unpopular opinion: This is a sign and trade for William Nylander
