Quin has only accrued 2 years of the 7 needed to hit ufa. So a 4 year deal is basically the same as Petey getting a 3 year deal. Would leave both a year from ufa.EP40 at 3 Years 7 Million per is basically right on the Mark.
Hughes signing to a 4 or 5 year deal would be a f***ing train-wreck of a contract, I don't care how cheap.
You either buy his UFA Status or you sign a 3 year deal period.
The moment Quinn or Petey says 4 or 5 years, you simply say it's off the table period, 100% No questions asked.
Nobody is walking to UFA with term, Dhaliwal is just kind of dumb and doesn't understand the concept that RFAs don't get signed to their UFA year. He's made this same mistake tons of times in the past and I've heard Drance try to explain it to him - he just doesn't get it and never will.
That explains this then. Because he acts pretty nonchalant like there isn't a massive difference between 4 & 5
Oh nice to know! ThanksQuin has only accrued 2 years of the 7 needed to hit ufa. So a 4 year deal is basically the same as Petey getting a 3 year deal. Would leave both a year from ufa.
from player POV in terms of overall career earnings doing a deal for a year or two of your ufa now makes sense because it takes Petey til his 28 going on 29, aka Landeskog before he hits ufa on a 6 year deal that buys 2 ufa years. Next deal would be for max term of 8 years taking him to 36 going on 37.
doing a bridge takes Petey to 25 going on 26. Max term in next deal takes him to 33 going on 34. More difficult to score a great deal at 33.
But doing bridge puts Petey in control when his deal is up. Could be a Jones or Reinhart situation if the team doesn’t improve in 3 years time. Could then just go to arbitration and be gone as a ufa.
Burning a elc year like brock and Quinn did only impacts their salary in year 3 as a pro.Oh nice to know! Thanks
Post Covid, don't see players opting for that long term a deal. It will be 5/6 year depending on the number of RFA years they have left.It’s a joke that we can’t sign our franchise player to a 7-8 year contract.

Who's the franchise player?It’s a joke that we can’t sign our franchise player to a 7-8 year contract.
Don't be obtuse.
Barzal's 85 point year was as the second line center (i.e. easier matchups) on a team that played zero defence. Every single Islander fan says he is a considerably better player now.It's kind of true though.
Petey hasn't broken 70 points yet and Hughes hasn't even shown he can be a top pair guy (Barzal, who is seen as a Petey comp has had an 85 point season).
At this point, there are question marks about whether either can be a franchise level player - I think both can be but better to make them earn it.
Locking guys like RNH and Eberle into "franchise level" contracts is a problem the Oilers had.
And then runs outta time.Benning is likely obsessed with the draft right now. Then he’ll get obsessed with free agency and trades, when he gets bored of those he’ll make these guys an offer.
