How good is Scheifele's contract?
I figure one of 3 different scenarios will play itself out over the 7 years of Scheifele's currant contract. These scenarios assumes he stays relatively healthy over the life of his contract.
Scenario 1: Chef is a perennial 65-75 pps player with last year being his carrier year.
At 6.125m per year Chefs contract is a very good team friendly contract for the Jets.
Scenario 2: Chef averages out to be a ppg player over the next 7 years making his currant contract one of the best contracts in the league. I think/hope this is the most likely Scenario for Chef.
Scenario 3: Chef has not hit his peak yet and has another gear that pushes him in the top 3 in point production in the league every year with a couple of 100+ seasons. If this happens Chef's contract is by far the best in the league bar none! Maybe a couple of SC rings to add to his trophy case.
The timing of this contract worked out so perfectly for the Jets. During the final year of his ELC he was just beginning to show his true potential but the sample size of his higher level play was limited to the last two months of the season so it put the Jets in a great position to get good value on the contract. Of course it all hinged on Scheifele maintaining the level of play he had demonstrated during the end of 2016 and he has done that. It is a great contract but if we were doing the deal this off season the AAV would be $2m or more higher.
Contract for Contract I would not trade Schief for any player in the NHL besides Crosby. A trade partner can't come close to providing that value.
8.7 for Crosby is insane.
McDavid is probably worth the extra cheese.
Great, another Jet's player to go along with Trouba and Connor that that Number1RedWingsFan52 keeps laying claim to

Not interested in Scheifele and i'm not sure where i ever laid claim to Connor only Trouba being mentioned that that was from Dreger himself.
Bolded, that's a bad take.Not interested in Scheifele and i'm not sure where i ever laid claim to Connor only Trouba being mentioned that that was from Dreger himself.

It's weird watching compilations of his goals from last year and the year before. Two years ago he seemed to get most of his goals just ripping it home but last season he barely did that at all despite scoring more goals. He relied a lot heavier on garbage goals and being set up last season. Just an observation.
I think there's a lesson there for Laine too. Go to the net more.

Yup. Teams scout and notice trends that they will game plan against sonyou need to find different ways to score.

Garbage goals just might be the worst phrase in hockey. Going to the net and scoring by beating players to rebounds, reading where the puck will go, deflecting pucks or being able to create and react in a sliver of space is what good goal scorers do.
Love the kid, but I can't help but feel his numbers are going to regress a "bit" this year. 70+ points this year, which is still great.
