Keep re-signing him until the wheels fall off or he no longer wants to play. He's earned that every season so far.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Great deal for the stars.

 

[MinJaBen]

Love Pavs! Jealous of the Stars.

 

[serp]

Yep this is now a year to year thing until Pavs no longer feels like it or the wheels fall off.

Doesn’t seem like the wheels are falling off, and incredible that Dallas got a one year deal.

Drafting and cap management has kept this Dallas team in it. Amazing work and quite underrated to be honest.

 

[HansonBro]

Seems like quite the discount

 

[DangeRouss]

Happy with it

 

[BagHead]

I remember that in his 18-19 season I thought to myself "20% shooting and nearly 40 goals at age 34. This is it, this is the bright and brilliant flash of a star going nova and dying, and someone is going to be drawn to him and get burned in the blast". And for one year I appeared to be correct. I'm glad for him that he decided that age isn't real. What a player! This contract is a steal for Dallas.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Good deal. Not much downside unless his play falls off a cliff.

 

[66-30-33]

He has the same birthday and birth year as me.

Free slurpee day.

It really has. I think they are going to win the cup this year or next, mostly due to one great draft year.

Not exactly hard to archive bonus money

 

[beowulf]

Good for him dude has been killing it in Dallas after a slow first season. Especially at an age most players are declining a lot or retired. Needs 49 points I think for 1,000.

 

[CanadienShark]

Well deserved.

Performance bonuses look like guarantees to be hit. So let’s call this contract what it is: 1 year x 5.5M.

Still an appropriate contract for a great player though who’s always got it done with his smarts and net front mastery. Low risk for a wheels falling off induced regression in his game IMO.

 

[WTFetus]

Good for Pavelski. Will probably need at least one more contract after this one to reach 500 goals. Hope he gets it.

 

[ole ole]

Good deal for Dal and great deal for Pav.

Nope.

It's 3.5M.

The bonuses, if earned, will be computed at the end of the season.

If there's not enough cap space left, the extra portions will count on the 2024-25 cap hit.

Worth every penny

Yup, so it’s a 1 year $5.5m AAV contract where some of the cap hit may count against the 2024-25 cap rather than 2023-24.

At the start of the season, it will be a 3.5M cap hit, not a 5.5M cap hit.

If they spend to the max in 2023-2024, the 2M in bonuses will be applied to the 2024-2025 cap.

Said otherwise, they don't need to keep a 2M cushion at the start of the season.

Agreed, no need to keep a $2m cushion.

But at the end of the day the cap piper will be collecting that $2m in performance bonuses next season or the following season.

letting Pavelski walk was the biggest mistake Doug Wilson has ever made as a GM.
